Try Viam (borrow a rover): Remotely control a Viam Rover in their NYC robotics lab for 10 minutes. Drive it around, explore its configuration, or write code to control it—all from wherever you are.

Follow along with step-by-step instructions: Drive a rover using TypeScript.

Get Started

• From the command line of your terminal window, create a new robot app.

  $ npm create robot-app
  

• At the command-line prompt, input your project name (or leave as default).
• Select a template for your project, such as controlRover, and hit Enter.
• Navigate into the new project directory, where my-viam-project is the name of your new project.

  $ cd my-viam-project
  

• Update the file .env with your own machine credentials from the CONNECT page of the Viam app.
• Start the server. Your web app should be running at http://localhost:5173/.

  $ npm start
  

In the example shown below, when the connection to the rover is established, the Click me button will become enabled.
