  • As for the keyboard input, I wrote a Python script which you can find here . For the keyboard input, I used a package called pynput which allowed for detecting keyboard input in the console.

  • motion

  • Yeah, I'm doing something similar, but am currently using motion for transmitting the video. It's pretty "high-level" and so I haven't found the need to look into how it works too much, but it is open source if you'd like to check out how it works. There were some other ways I tried to transmit the video, but eventually stuck with using motion because I found that there was not much delay (which was necessary for smooth driving).
