Hi, Thank you for the detailed step-by-step. I’m having a few issues with this thing. The left side of the robot is not responding to the software. Also, when I click all 1500 legs go all over the place and hit each other, not even close to 90 degrees. You mentioned I needed to …

That is correct I still did not put the caps on the feet because I was thinking about installing the sensors since I bought them. I also bought the pixy but I dont know how feasible that is

The Pixy interface is quite user friendly, so it’s more of a question of what commands you want ti to send to the robot, and how you want it to react.

@bdaouas @cbenson Thank you. I have the botboarduino powered up now and thank god it is not damaged. I made sure the PS2 wires are in the right places (see pics). I downloaded the software again and installed the library per instruction (to he best of my knowledge for someone wh…

@scharette @cbenson @bdaouas I would really appreciate the help with this. Thank you

Hi, The error you are encountering in the Arduino IDE could be related to these : The USB cable (make sure it’s a data USB cable and not power only) should be connected to the BotBoarduino properly. Please make sure to select Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila in Tools -> Board …
