i am amr from egypt in my last year graduating from computer science
i wana know any info you have that seems to help me doing my project.
i am trying make my graduation project and its like nirvana43 i will control a robot through bluetooth connection and i am trying to buy the 4WD Rover and the add ons for it but i didnt found anything including the electronic kit for the bluetooth ,so i wana ask is there available and i ll tell you all may be you can help me buying these stuff .
1 - i got the basic kit of course (4WD3-KT)
2 - Scorpion Dual RC H-Bridge Motor Controller
3 - IR Proximity Detector Sensor
4 - 7.2 volt NI-MH 2800mAh Battery pack
5 - Multiplex Multi Charger LN-5014
6 - BASIC Atom 28 pin (microcontroller)
7 - DB9 Serial Data Cable

that is all
my robot suppose to move forward and backward and right and left and detect if there is an obsticle it should avoid it
i wana ask

  1. Do i need to get anything else for the robot?
    i want to control the robot from keyboard through bluetooth
  2. Tell me about the kit to get it
  3. The chip for the bluetooth do i have to get another micro controller to connect this chip to it

Note :

This is the first time for me to deal with robots so um looking forward for a little help and may be you guys can help me thanx so much

I’m not a rover guy, but I can suggest a few things.

First, I’d suggest that you get a second battery.
That way, you may charge one while you use the other.

I’d also recommend buying two female battery quick connectors.
Again, one for charging, and another for using on the robot.

Check your charger model to see if it comes with a power supply.
I bought a different one, and it did not come with one.

If I remember correctly (check the site to be sure), the scorpion controller doesn’t have a 28 pin connector for a microcontroller.
That means that you’ll need to buy a Bot Board and connect it to the scorpion.

If you use the Bot Board, you’ll have both TTL and an RS232 communication available to connect Bluetooth to.
Which you chose to use will depend upon the Bluetooth module itself (although, TTL will consume less power).

No problem.

(^.^)

I’m just completing the Circle of Forums.

If you look about 3 months back, I was asking almost the same questions that you just did.

You might want more than one sensor. The one IR sensor will work find for detecting objects head on but not for approaching them has small angles. I would use 3, 1 in the front, 2 on both sides at 45 degrees.
