I still cannot view the video using gstreamer though. If I run gstreamer.py (under zspykee folder), the robot undocks and beeps, but the video window never comes up :( Netstat shows a lot of streaming activities between my computer and the robot so I think the video is getting streamed but there is some problem with my installation of gstreamer. Any idea? I'm running ubuntu 9.04, gstreamer 0.10.6.2. Running 'gst-launch videotestsrc ! xvimagesink' brings up the test video window correctly. zspykee/app.py works great! I can control the robot's motors and leds without any problems. Thanks a lot! Sam Great job!

It should be quite easy to create a web based ui for Spykee. With the twisted protocol that I've written, hooking up a python based web UI should be not much work at all. Frank, I don’t see why not.

Im current running os x. (Waiting for new x60) Im the "lucky" owner of the Spykee robot too, and I do believe it have many possibilities with some good software + modding. The mod and develop scene for Spykee seam very small and is only fairly slowly progressing. Im not a software developer myself, but I do have a good flair for new ideas and been working with computers and eletronics since I was a kid. But not beeing an software developer puts a limit to what I can do on software dev part. Im your opinion, would it be hard to make a simple web-interface for Spykee. Could be a server based metod like "iSpykee LAN controller" with a http server running on top with a simple web interface for the simple movements, frontlight, docking etc. And then the video could be a java feed ore something like that.
