We received the Bot Board II/Basic Atom Pro 28 and the PS2 controller and cable. Sorry, you were never going to get it to work… lol The first thing we noticed is the burned trace. Funny thing is it was there in the second image you posted.
Look in the red circle and you can clearly see the burned trace. It was completely open. Do you remember seeing/smelling any smoke? Because you are using the SSC-32 for the servos, you wouldn’t have noticed this problem, but it has been damaged so I replaced it for you. You said you tested the PS2 controller and it worked fine. Our testing showed it would not connect at all. We swapped out the receiver and it is working fine. I will get this stuff returned to you tomorrow. Please send me the return shipping address.
Actually we noticed at the start of our troubleshooting, and I was tempted to try to jumper the trace. However, from all we researched it didn’t seem like it was to cause any problems so we kinda overlooked it. I just left it as it was, but I forgot to mention something on the forums when I posted since I had kinda ruled it out. Specially since I came to the forums as a last attempt to figure it out and get some views from you all.
When I tested the remote initially, it was on an old PS2 game console. It worked and I could navigate the menus, but I didn’t actually get into any games to actually test it other than a few button presses. I also used the programs and tutorials you sent, but only got the results I listed before.
It’s awesome to know that it was the receiver. It makes me curious as to why it worked on the console, but not on the robot, but I appreciate replacing the reciever for me as well as the board.
I’ll send you a PM with my information.
I’ll be sure to keep you up to date on the progress, especially since you’ve helped me out so much thus far.
