So the plan is to build an FPV rover (a project that has been on my mind for years thanks to the Mars rovers). My recent experience with the Wyze cameras got me to thinking about it again. My first thought was to use the parts I posted a photo of on Friday to enable wifi control of a toy RC car. The micro controller and motor driver circuits will come in handy (and together they were only 15 bucks) in the event that I progress to the point of attempting to make a rover that is autonomous which is the ultimate goal. I found some tutorials online that are pretty thorough, but I am not very confident I can get that to work so if I run into a snag, there is another option that seems to make perfect sense for this stage of development. I already know the Wyze camera is easy to power by battery and works fine over my boosted wifi out to about 500 meters - but the remote control that comes with this rc toy car is only good to about 100 meters. After doing a little digging on YouTube, I discovered the transmitter above which comes with a receiver that is easy to replace in the toy car and should give me control out to 600 meters - and no programming skills needed. We shall see... 97,103,65,0,B

That'll be great for hunting Grabiods.
Have you looked at the Wyze car? https://www.wyze.com/products/wyze-car-power-bank-wyze-cam-black
Yes, I looked at the Wyze car and was tempted...but decided it wasn't a good option due to numerous reasons - including the price and number of bad reviews.
was not aware they were crossing the river too…
are they WiFi able? different species
