Hello, i am new to this forum i am going to make my first project. i am going to make a FPV car/robot with good range and a need some tips on how to controll it.
The things it will have (what i think now)
1-2 cameras so it might need to have a switch
Pan/tilt for the cameras
IR light switch
some kind of arm, might use it for extending the camera or as a robot arm.
The questions i have about this is, what is best to use, a normal RC transmitter or something ells ? i found this on the forum ant it looks so cool flickr.com/photos/55725351@ … 112699718/ or will the turingy 9xr be enough for this ?
is it posible to program a button on a normal RC transimmter so that it will start a sequence? what is easyes making a controler that will send a sequence or have a chip that just take that signal and then make the servos move ?
i have a litle experience with c++ bot not enogh to program ennything big
sorry about my bad english and all my questions. just hope that i can get som info
have a nice day everyone
Using an R/C xmtr/rcvr pair, and reading the rcvr pins with an Arduino or BotBoarDuino, (libraries available), your program can see transmitted servo channel positions and switch positions, and react accordingly.
Hello, tnx for the response. what is the diffrence with an Arduino and BotBoarDuino? is there a thred that have a build that is simular to what i am after ?
tnx for the help
Well, the BotBoarduino is in fact an Arduino compatible microcontroller.
It is used just like an Arduino Duemilanove but has more connections and features on-board.
BTW: Thanks, those pictures are from my design… lol
Oh, okey. So a [highlight=#NaNffff]BotBoarduin is The way to go ? but is there threds where they discuss this so i can get some inspiration ? [/highlight]
Yea that controller looks so good, do you have some left for me for a good price ? ;p i like The look of it so if i will build one, it will most [highlight=#NaNffff]likely end up like that [/highlight]
I forgot what you are building, but if it’s a hexapod, then the BotBoardDuano and the SBC-32 nicely stack on top of all of the Lynxmotion chassis. The BBD allows convenient connection of servos if you don’t need all the 32 channels of SBC-32.
Look up the build threads for the hexapods, (or quadrupeds), they’ll tell you how to connect everything. For the R/C, there are other threads. Look on the Lynxmotion web site for all of the build instructions.
okey, I am going to have a 4 wheel or a tracked base. i want it to be able to go outside, in grass, smal rocks and sand.
how menny servos can the BBD take ? i will look around and see if i find something interesting
i will still need to get a cool as remote for it
