Java and Radio Signal I/O
Hi,
A friend of mine bought a model car, which can be controlled using a remote control, and he wanted to know whether it would be possible to create some software application so that the car could be controlled from a computer.
I am definitely sure it is possible, however I have no practical idea how. Basically I know that I need to build some sort of code to interface with some sort of Radio IO device, which I could plug to my computer via the USB.
Now with the Radio IO device I (theoretically) can connect with the model car! However the model car does not have an Address (like an IP Address), and therefore I definitely will not be able to use normal Sockets.
I have done some research on the Internet and my conclusion is that I need to develop some C code that manage the Radio IO device and then Java wraps this C module. Is this right however? Is this the only way to do this? Or there is already some Java API for this?
