Thread: howto robot control over wifi with joystick (python? shell? pipes? ssh? telnet?))

hi, need advice don't lost in jungle of overcomplicated programming. problem i'm facing following: have robot (more stack of parts , old pc) can connect on wifi. has linuxcnc on it. can start linuxcnc remotely ssh , can use telnet pipe commands script linuxcncrsh: telnet 192.168.1.75 5007 <./scriptforlinuxcncrsh. lets me -at stage- start, jog , stop steppermotor. far good. have sidewinder joystick want use steer robot , maybe control robot arm on robot (i can see joysticks output jstest on /dev/input/js0). doesn't need go via linuxcnc, can go low level commanding parallel port instance.

i'm trying different configurations of software controlling hardware on wifi, it's hard me figure out best way go things: instance:
have number of shell scriptscontrolling linuxcnc on robot call remotely ssh when python script reads movements on joystick. or pipe python scripts telnet on ssh... or... anyway i'm getting confused.

organised (safe?) yet not complicated way go this? don't want reinvent wheel, , feel that's i'm doing when i'm piping telnet commands on ssh... (that's not i'm doing- illustrating confusion)
posted in cafe 'cause doesn't fit category (suggestions?)
