Hi Guys,
Just bought that wifi robot Skypee. Excellent piece of kit. But was just wondering if anyone has heard of or can develop software so I can control it through my Diamond (or any windows mobilke based phone).
Just posting it in Diamond section as I own one but I am sure that Spykee users will have other mobile devices whether it be windows platform or not.
Any coments suggestions welcome.
Had a quick search on google but could not find anything (yet).
anybody?
BUMP!
Just bumping this thread to get noticed.
So, I am assuming nobody has found a way to do this.
Never mind. I am sure many of you may get a spykee this xmas and maybe then the devlopments will start (hopefully)!
I didn't thinkt you could buy Spykee yet. Where have you bought it???
cool gadget!

alrite mate,
i bought mine few weeks back from costco in birmingham. it cost me £115 inc vat! but i heard they were going for £99 on amazon inc delivery! dont know if they still available though.
only thing that is a ***** about spykee is building it. it comes with about 1000 pieces. it took me about 6 hours in total to build it!!!
but its worth it! its really a great "spy" robot and the voip funtionaility is overrated as skype is not supported (yet anyway). but good thing about it is that firmware can be upgraded and additional programs for robot can be written in future!
just waiting for a windows mobile based gui application to control it! then it will be awesome
I just got a Spykee for Xmas, My girlfriend paid 175 quid and that was the cheapest price a few months back as they were all 199.
Im gutted to see it for 99 quid now but thats just the way things go!!
I would love to control it from my xperia.
There is an SDK for the Spykee and I might even try and develop some software myself depending on what language its for.
Shame about the price, I could have had 2 and used one to build an Ed209 from robocop or a Johnny 5 from short circuit.
It took me about 2 hours to build, if that! How the hell did it take you 6 hours?
I did have trouble with the stupid fiber optics though as they kept falling out but it was easier to just put them in last!!
lol

lol, 2 hours not bad! it took me that long to build the backbone lol! well6 hours was an average time over 3 days. did not have time to spend whole day on it but i suppose if u got experience with meccano or are good with building things like this then it would be good. i just wish the robot could build itself out the box lol!
I cant wait for applications\firmware for this to come out! will be excellent! my nephews love connecting to it from the other side of the world and playing\chasing\talking to my son via spykee! Great!
crazydiamond, you talk of an sdk being released? is it out yet? i last checked the website few days back and it was not out. will have a quick search again after i posted and if i cant find it will try and ask the question here again.
but i am glad to hear that i am not the only one wanting an application to control spykee from a WM based handset! will be very interesting to see one!
Have fun merry xmas and happy new year to all!
Apparently there is an SDK coming out soon, as spykee was advetised as having one I thought there was already one to download!
Another shameless marketing trick!
There is a guy called Jimfx on www.spykee.org who has deleloped his own GUI in Delphi and it works really well.
You can even change the speed to make Spykee a lot slower.
Give it time and someone will release some source code for us to play with.
I am quite dissapointed with spykee if I am honest.
I have had nothing but trouble with remote connection setup and have had to change my router settings because Spykee would not see my router unless it was broadcasting the SSID!
I still cannot get my friends to connect! Have forwarded every port and updated firmware on the router.
It needs an update and a web interface and some better documentation.
I expected so much more, and the intruder detection is not as advertised either.
I will keep you posted mate on any, if any, code appears for Spykee Devs
All the best and Merry Crimbo

yeah i had trouble setting up remote connection. but make sure you have changed the default admin password for spykee from password (default) to whatever you want. also, it is better to have a static ip address assigned to spykee so that it functions correctly.
its true about the false marketing about spykee but hey, i know this can be more of a robot than meccano have advertised it as because once custom apps for the robot can be made...well lets just say we will 'flash' spykee just as we 'flash' our mobile devices....to get more functionailty out of them than the manufacturers initially permitted!
Thanks for your reply and Help.
I have already assigned a static ip to spykee and tried Mac filtering on/off, broadcast ssid on/off, WEP on/off etc etc and still no luck.
Its starting to piss me off, The robot is not responding to anything.
The battery lasts a few minutes before it says it needs to re dock! Even on a full charge it says it needs to re dock.
So annoying. It looses connection in Local mode or Ad-hoc and none of the features work that are supposed too either.
I have already emailed play for a refund but it was bought before their 28 day stupid returns policy. Even though I only opened it on Xmas Morning.
Looks like I will be taking them to court.
Hi CrazyDiamond,
In order to be able to connect to Spykee from the internet, you have to follows
these steps ( and it works really good)-- I will use example data to make thing easy.
- Create a user other than admin on the console application
( MyUser / MyPassword)
- Register your Spykee on http://www.spykeeworld.com/spykee/US/index.html and select register. ( Give a name to your robot and a password -- carefull, this is case sensitive)
( MyRobot / MyRobotPassword)
- Still in the console, in My Spykee tab, put EXACTLY the name ( case sensitive) and the password you registered in spykeeworld. Note the ip adress you have here.
( MyRobot / MyRobotPassword). The ip shown: 192.168.1.1)
- Go to the remote connection tab and check 'Authorize remote access' then put a port number.
( 12345)
- On your router you need to do port forwarding to Spykee ip address and use as SOURCE and DESTINATION the port number you did put on the console application.
( source port: 12345 destination port: 12345 destination ip: 192.168.1.1 )
That's all.
Now to connect to your Spykee, click on the connection icon. Select Remote robot and put the exact name you used to register spykee ( case sensitive).
( MyRobot)
Then when the password is requested, use the account you create on the console (not the admin one).
(MyUser/MyPassword)
Then it should work.
Regarding the battery which the console says it is empty. This is a bug on the console application. Just don't take in account this message and you will see that you can use your Spykee for hours.
Regarding the documentation, it sucks!
Regarding the SDK, this is not yet available and I hope it will be soon...
Yes the last note, your Spykee should bip 3 times when you turn it on, which means it did
connect to your wifi access point.
I hope it helped.

Drack thats great man! Its a better guide than I could even think of. I wish I had a straight forward step by step guide when I was trying to configure mine out!!!!
i am sure this will help newbies of spykee!
CrazyDiamond, have you ironed out the issues with ur spykee? personally i think there is something wrong with its wifi broadcasting capabilities but hey im no expert. let us know how you get\got on
Hi, sorry for late reply, I was without Spykee as I sent him back for refund.
My spykees power issues were not software bug related, he eventually would not even activate when clicking "click to activate" Thing was driving me crazy so I sent him back and got my 184 quid back.
Bought another one for 94 quid from Gizoo and just build him and finished setting him up.
Drack, Nice guide, I appreciate your help although there was nothing there that I didn't already do correctly in the first place.
I still cannot connect remotely, I think it is down to my Router but I really do not know for sure.
I am a bit of a Computer Wizard and have been for the past 15 years, Solved 100's of PC hardware related and software related problems but cannot get a stupid robot that has age 8 written on it!! lol gotta laugh really.
Im sure my router is forwarding the ports correctly as I even checked the ports were open, completely removed all my security, firewalls and made sure He has his own IP assigned and still no luck.
Think I will convert him into an Ed209 or Johnny5 and wait for a firmware update if a new router does not work.
Cheers guys and Happy new year.
WooHoo, He is alive, Johnny 5 is alive!!! Well spykee is but you know they look the same.
I didn't test the new robot from a remote computer as it didn't work with the first one I had on the same settings.
I tested it with a local computer using remote connection as it specified in the manual.
This did connect for about 2 seconds and then just disconnected. Same thing as with first robot.
Wasn't even gonna bother testing from a remote Computer but decided as my friend had the software and was online at the time I would ask.
To my supprise, He connected! Still cant connect remotely from a local pc but thats only to test it anyway.
So happy He works. If anyone else has the same problem as I have had then make sure you try it from a remote PC, even if it doesn't connect as instructed in the manual.
It is so much fun to have someone drive him round
Strange!
Hi CrazyDiamond,
Your problem is really strange...especially the fact that you can't connect remotely from your local pc while a friend of you can connect remotely from his computer...
this could be that you have a kind of network problem. Check if you dhcp server is
correctly configured (if you can force an ip address for a specific mac address then do it for your robot, so it ensure that you will get anytime the same ip address...)...because if you don't then your port forwarding will not work correctly...this is stupid they didn't allow a fix ip address for the robot

Hi Drack, I already have the router Mac filtered and also already assigned a specific IP to Spykee by adding his Mac into the routers config.
Its all working fine apart from connection to a remote robot from local pc. This is not a problem as when I am home I connect too him locally and when I am at work I connect remotely.
It cant be the PC I am using as I have tried 2, One connected with wifi running xp pro sp3 and the other is connected via patch cable directly too the router, thats running Vista Ultimate 64.
The software is buggy using Vista64 and does tell me the battery needs charging etc.
Thanks for your advise, If I was unable to fix the problems myself then your advise would have been a blessing and I would have solved it.
Hope this thread helps others with problems.
By the way, Spykee is the nuts and I have had so much fun. Cant wait to Mod him and get the SDK.
Sdk is coming...
Hi CrazyDiamond,
Your problem is really strange but as soon as you can connect remotely from outside, and locally, this is no more a real problem.
For the battery I have exactly the same problem under XP, it tells the battery is empty after 5mn of run. It seems to be a bug in the software...
For the SDK, I emailed the support and they told me that they apologize to be late, but that the SDK should be available very soon ( this month).
I hope now that they will be hardware addon for Spykee...maybe Mecanno/Erector will provide new add on devices in the future...or why would they have use an usb connector??
cheers,

i have been playing with this application for the past 4 hours
and it will JUST NOT connect! im pretty sure ive reached that point
where you keep trying everything u can, but eventually you end up with
a web of mistakes and have no idea where to begin to finish...so, lets
get to it...
- i am at school. i live across the street from campus, far enough to
where my g1 wont pick up the wifi signal, so configuring the app via
wifi isnt even an option...
so i go to the FAQs and there seems to be a way to operate the program
via the cell network without using a router...great because i dont
have one...but when i read the instructions, it starts telling me
stuff ABOUT a router...
"2.Log into your router and go to the port forwarding section (it
might be called NAT settings, or Application and Gaming). "
...where am i supposed to go to do this? i have set up ICS, i have
googled google for "port forwarding" "nat settings" "nat configuration
in windows xp", ive even used the BS help and support that comes with
windows, im going nowhere. can somebody PLEASE help me figure this
out? i want to use gmote over t-mobiles internet connection, and it seems like you can do this from what the FAQs told me...any help will be appreciated
Yeah the faq doesn't make sense, have you tried the developer directly or checking their google group? They are pretty quick to respond
On my home pc i just needed to know the ip addresss of my machine. Since this is a campus network, its possible that only particular ports are open. the port that gmote uses may be blocked.
The FAQ is a little confusing, but its not that difficult to work out
That is true, given that bittorrent and Ares are known for not running on campus...how do I figure out what ports ARE open?? I guess google will help
cant you just connect to the ip number of your computer?
Thats what Im trying to do, but Im now assuming that the ports are blocked because I cant get thru no matter what. I ran netstat and tried to figure it out but it was Russian to me
From what I understand of the program, you have to be on the same network. I may be wrong, but if you are on a different subnet, then you're SOL.
Like I said, could be wrong, but that's what I heard.
Hello! new to N1 forum, could any1 tell me if its even possible to connect via wifi to an ad hoc network. Im using CyanogenMod-5 rom which finds network but fails to connect. any help wld be great. sorry if this is the wrong place for my question.
regards bevan
Yes, you'll have to edit the (tiwlan.ini0) and (wpa_supplicant.conf). When I get to night...i'll try to post what you need to edit.
I just got my N1 today and will playing with it ...so it might be around 10-11 CST to night when I post back with the info.
Here a quick type up
going to system/etc/wifi and edit tiwlan.ini...do a seach for WiFiAdhoc and it should take to
WiFiAdhoc = 0 and change the 0 to 1...right ather WiFiAdhoc put
dot11DesiredSSID = CARPC what ever you want...as you can see I use (carpc) so I can connect to my carpc.
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0 this will stay 0 so it all should look like this
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = CARPC
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0
Now for wpa_supplicant.conf add this to very bottom
ssid="CARPC"
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}
If you still need help just post back in here....
thanks
soloxp hope ur enjoying the new phone & yes it seem I need a little more help with this. now as Im new to android I've never actually edited setting before. I found setting/etc/wifi but could u please point me a tutorial on how I edit this file. thankyou for ur time.
I just check CM N1 Roms and it look like the N1 wifi is setting are different then the G1. I want be rooting my N1 for about 2weeks...that way I know it's working good before I root it. Sorry I can't help you on this right now.

You can try these...just change my setting to your and see if it works.
I try to insert a rar file. i'll try another way.
WEP works fine without making any changes. So if its just a quick temporary solution use that.
Thats what I used when in Japan for net on the N1, as the appartment only provided a LAN cable & I only had a netbook with me.
Hi, I changed my settings in wifi with yours using win rar (maybe that's not how to do it?) but didn't work sadly. when trying to flash told me file was bad. should I mod this file using some other programe? not sure. am a noob but willing to learn how this is done thanks again!

In order to obtain an IP address automatically. You need to be running a DHCP server which I doubt you are.
To get around this set a static IP address on the phone.

have kind of given up on the ad hoc thing for now but thanks for advice guys. Im on 3g mobile broadband and recently got a 3g router which fixed my problem. when I leave the house and require internet I just use 3g sim card works fine so no need for ad hoc at the moment.
AdHoc - unsuccesfully
Hello all.
I have the same problem with adhocing my N1 and wireless adapter D-Link DWA-150.
I used to check all the "solutions" of this problem (wpa_supplicant. conf, rooting, new SSID...) but it seems not usefull for me.((
To soloxp - there is not any tiwlan.ini in N1. At least in CyanogenMod 5.0.6.N1.
What can I do more to connect my wireless adapters?..
Has anyone figured this out? I am running CyanogenMod 5.0.7.1 and I do have the wpa_supplicant.conf file but I'm not sure what to put in it as far as editing it. I use WMWiFiRouter on a Windows Mobile phone because that phone is 3G and my Nexus One only gets EDGE. My iPhone and computers can connect up to my WM phone just fine I just can't get my N1 to connect to it.
So this is indeed the way for my question and possibly the solution..
I have been asking abt this,
I got N1, CM7 latest...
linksys compact g wireless USB adapter
after creating adhoc connection I connect my phone and it stuck at "obtaining IP address"
Now please tell me how can a place or make a change in N1 system files?
please help me with links and yeah Im a nooobbb
Bump up the post.....
So I share a 512Kb/s internet connection with people I don't know, and now it is slow as hell.
I heard that there is a software that hangs computers on networks, don't know the name tried googling but couldn't find anything.
anybody knows anything don't hesitate.
p.s I tried remote shutdown but failed every time
u find the routers ip(default gateway?) and login , restart the router and its should be better for a while

hahaha I wish it was that simple, I don't have the router's username and password and they are not the default. Also I don't have the router only a 50 meters network cable between our pc and the building owner appartment.
too complicated I know
Try this;
Download net tools 5
Find the udp flooded
For ip thing put 27.27.27.27
Drag the slider to ten and fill that box up with LOADs of stuff, next hit start and leave it for a bit it should flood your network so everyone else gets kicked off when you wanbt Togo o turn it of
Or use the ip flooder if you can find the ip of everybody on the network
Bet there's someone downloading torrents or some other P2P thing.
A friend of mine in Tel Aviv used to suffer all the time because her daughter would leave her PC seeding.
They had 8Mbps down, but only 128Kbps up! It was so easy for the upstream to be flooded and grind everything to a halt.
the net tools works like a charm
i even tried doing an adhoc network connected my tp2 and no site opened
I'm from jerusalem btw only in jordan for studying

Haha. Unlcuky and sorry

I just found out that the owner is out of town that why it's disconnected
nothing have to do with the software
back to trying to hardly find an unsecured WiFi which is slow cuz is too far away.
Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..
Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?
I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.
I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...
Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.
Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..
I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.
i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..
