Ok, after powered the electronics, just one led is on on the receiver.
The other one is off and no blinking.
On the PS2 emitter, moving joystick and/or button doens’t affect the servos…well, nothing happend !
What do you think of that ?
Do i remplace the PS2 receiver ?
Sure, here is a picture of the connexions between the PS2 receiver and the BBII.
For me, there is no problems according the connections, it was working well before.
I hacked the PS2 receiver because i won’t using the PS2 adapter wich is too large/long.
So i solded the wires and everything was working pretty well…but now…just one led is on and the other off, not blinking.
Is it possible to control the robot via a serial interface using the Xbee from a PC and connect another one o the BBot II (NOT THE SSC32), without using the DIY RC ?
Do i need to buy another BBII/Atom pro 28 and connect both to the serial interface of the xbee (One on PC, the other on the robot) ?
Ok my first thought was that that 4 pin block is the wrong way… blue pin should be on 15. But as you say it worked before you hacked it up so my guess is you assembled the wiring wrong?
Ok, according to your doubt, i plugged the wires not function to their colors but by protocol (CMD, ACK, AT,…)
So, i think the problem is due to electronics components, because when i put my finger on both contact of the led which doens’t work, it light pretty well.
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help and support.
What about the idea to manage the robot through Xbee to remplace the PS2 protocol ?
Is that possible without using the DIY RC ?
The odd part is that you indicated it was working well before, and then “suddenly” stopped working? You will need to think hard to see if you made any changes to the setup. If one light is on, it usually means it’s getting power. The other light should be flashing and waiting to pair with the transmitter. You can connect the Bot Board via serial to your computer to check that it still works. If you can upload and execute code, then the circuit is fine and the issue is likely with one of the following:
Receiver wiring (triple check)
Receiver itself
Code uploaded to the board
Board configuration (check the jumpers, baud rate… everything)
Power (check the logic voltage and that it can power both the board and the receiver)
It looks like you have the V2 receiver, which corresponds to the receiver we sell separately. If the new receiver does not do the trick, write back here.
I am buying the PS2 V2 from Lynxmotion (Ref. : RB-Lyn-578).
You said there are known issues on this device.
What kind of problem ?
Lynxmotion said that this device is full compatible with all type of robot Lynxmotion.
Could you explain to me some known problems ?
The RC-01 V2 controller (which includes the level shifter) is fully compatible with all robots. The RC-01 on its own however has issues, which is why it was taken off the website. The previous PS2 controllers (which can be differentiated from the new ones because they had a green and red LED on the receiver, whereas the new ones have two red LEDs) could not properly communicate with the boards.
Old PS2 = fine
New PS2 (no longer on the website) = might have issues if the level shifter is not used.
New PS2 + level shifter (RC-01v2) = no known issues
Bonjour
Je viens de Recevoir ma télécommande ps2 + son module de réception (ref: RC-01) câble sur un
Bot board 2 comme indique sur ce tuto : lynxmotion.com/images/html/build034.htm
Mais malheureusement il ne fonctionne pas .
Les 2 led rouge du récepteur reste allumé fixe et les 2 voyant sur le ps2
Clignote, environ 2 battement par seconde, au niveau du terminal je ne reçoit rien.
Est ce que quelqu’un pourrait m’aider
Merci.
Le contrôleur RB-Kee-01 n’est pas directement compatible avec le câble adaptateur puisqu’il supporte uniquement la communication TTL à 3.3V. Il vous faudra un adaptateur ou un kit où l’adaptateur est déjà inclus:
La télécommande RB-Kee-01 est toujours en vente parce qu’elle est compatible avec le matériel Playstation conventionnel.
The RB-Kee-01 controller (RC-01) is not directly compatible with the adapter cable and Arduino since it supports only 3.3V TTL communication. You will need a level shifter or the kit that already includes it:
