I'm gonna show you how to use SoCAT. I showed you how to install this for Windows and Linux so you can head on over to GitHub github.com/valorisa/socat-1.8.0.1_for_Windows and get this program but it's basically you know a multi-purpose relay, a socket cat, a netcat on steroids. What we're gonna do is a kind of a TCP relay. We're gonna basically output serial and we're going to be able to connect to it by telnet. We can just type an IP address and capture this kind of stream over TCP. So I'll show you how this works.

Things i'm using:
1) Zimaboard 832, loaded with Windows 10 ioT (you can use linux)
2) HaLoW Wi-Fi bridge amzn.to/4mQEQmH
3) TeraTerm or Telnet
4) Socat for windows
5) Scamp3 Board and Arduino udamonic.com/index.html

Parts list:
1) SmartDrive Duo 30 Amp motor controller (amzn.to/4jFADzl)
2) Wheel chair motors
3) Wheel chair motor wheels
4) 12 volt battery (get 2 of these, wire in series so its 24 volt) (amzn.to/4kP3BxG)
5) FlySky transmitter and receiver (amzn.to/4mSt2QH)
6) Old dell optiplex power supply case. Remove the components and you have a housing for the motor controller. Old desktop computers are a great source. Can probably find on Ebay.
