hi! I'm a beginner, You will see.. :) I wanna solve the above project, as a start. but. i have mkr1000 and also motor shield, but i would like to skip the mkr2uno adapter and simply wire the pins from mkr1000 to the shield, power the shield with a 9v battery... of course it is not working, but where is the mistake in my logic? :) can You help me please? is it possible at all? what is the secret of mkr2uno if not only doing the wiring for me? thanks in advance Laci

Hello I tried this project using a MKR 1010. It dosen't work. I updated to WiFiNINA without success. I am using all the latest updates. Can anyone help me?. I have been able to get other sketches to work, including ones that worked with web pages on my network. Thanks

Hi, I have based my mini robot on this project. I have used the sketch given changing the WiFi settings and other than that kept it the same. In the serial monitor it says it is connected to the internet, then when I search http://WiFiRobot.local/ I receive 'wifirobot.local’s server IP address could not be found.' Can anyone work out where I am going wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It only works if you search http://'IP address from serial monitor' doesn't work searching http://WiFiRobot.local/

Were you able to solve this issues? Is this something the mkr1000 is not capable of?

HI I manage to connect I believe, see below the output of the serial monitor: SSID: NETGEAR98 IP Address: 192.168.1.22 signal strength (RSSI):-67 dBm Server listening at http://WiFiRobot.local/ But when I enter "http://WiFiRobot.local/" in the urL of a firefox browser it remain stuck and a chrome browser would return a DNS error. Do you have any idea where the issue could be ?

Does the wifi control work from anywhere or does it have to be on a local wifi connection?

Great! Do you have an idea on how long does it run on a 9V battery? I designed a wi-fi controlled robot, but I used a power bank to power it. https://www.hackster.io/igorF2/wi-fi-controlled-fpv-rover-robot-with-arduino-and-esp8266-383a8c

Hi, it depends on the battery amperage. This robot sinks about 100mA when motors aren't running and about 400mA when motors are running. So worst case is averaging at (400+100)/2 = 250mA If a battery is (to make simple calculations) 1000mAh we have: time < 1000mAh/250mA = 4h hope this help!

Great project! Question: for the laser cutter file, github says the file is too big. The code looks like this: 0 SECTION 2 HEADER etc.... Will that code work with a laser cutter? Can you forward the file to me? Thanks again, and more low cost projects are appreciated!

The file is too big to be displayed in the web interface. Github thinks that all the files are code so it tries to display it as a plain text and here comes the issue. If you download it on your PC everything should be good :)
