Im thinking might been easier to buy a peterwaller device, but i like to do things the difficult way...
Instead of building my own controller board (like mentioned in prev post - need to get funds forst to get prof made boards) i got the b238.
Using the code mentioned in prev post
http://robotwars101.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1974
i connected my board and rx up together and tested. Lie in the post above it failed to work, so i attempted the alternative ports,
I have:
CH1 - PD7
CH2 - PD4
Code: Select all
#define CH1 7 // ELE - FWD/REV
#define CH2 4 // AIL - LEFT/RIGHT
I have programmed RX using data from: http://www.deltang.co.uk/rx43d-3-v503-p.htm
thats 3, 1, 1, 1, 1 flashes of RX
now, my robot is turning both motors on forwards. can anyone suggest setting to set the programmer, or do a link or vid to full programming setup.
One thing i did try to do is try the more complex code mentioned in post above: http://www.pololu.com/docs/0J37/4
but cannot get the orang programmed as AVRDUDE doesnt seem to come with studio 6 anymore, nor does the gui avrdude downloaded seperatly contain facilities to programme a device, but rather simulate it.
Any help is appreciative.
Additional: i have now ordered 2xRX-31-D which seems to be the common RX (if the same but less functionality - thanks peter from prev post i made)
Thanks
Nat
