Doug, Thanks for the response. That did push me in the right direction to find what I needed. I did get my robot working with the WiBox serial to ethernet converter. For the good of the list, I'll share what I had to do.
In the pioneer.cfg file, I needed to add lines to tell the robot to communicate via TCP rather than a serial port. I found the right info at http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Player-cvs/player/group__driver__p2os.html -George On Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 10:14:59AM -0400, Douglas S.
