Mozilla Cam

This is a web cam that you can point at different parts of my leopard gecko Mozilla's tank. I used a vision command camera as my web cam. The stand is the stand from the vision command constructopedia, but i modified it a little. The stand has 2 motors, one controls the rotation movement and the other controls the tilt. The RCX is a 1.0 so it has the handy little DC adaptor on it which is plugged into the wall(im not buying any more RCXs until they make em like that agian). It has four SIMPLE programs on it, one for rotating right, one for rotating left, up, down. Ok so now how do i make the camera move from a web page? WebBrick! It "is a program that lets you connect your Lego Mindstorm's robot to a web-page user interface." Using JavaScript (which i happen to know a little of) you can activate the programs on the rcx with WebBrick. Last thing was to get web cam software so i could have the live images (it obviously would not be much fun with out em). The LEGO Vision Command camera comes with the regular Quick cam software, but they slapped lego all over it. They also added intruder alarm (cool) and took out the web cam stuff (not so cool). So I had to find a free web cam program. It took a while but i finally found one (true tech web cam). I copied the code that made the web cam work out of the free web page they gave me and into mine. OK now its all set and it works. The only draw back is that i have a dial up connection so i have to put my IP address into the page and FTP it every time i want to do my Mozilla Cam. If any 1 wants to write me a Perl program that will do it for me be my guest(and my friend)lol.
