Hello,
I have a MyDFRobotShop Rover - Arduino Tracked Robot (MyRobots.com Kit) and I have been trying to connect it to use the sample code from this site myrobots.com/wiki/DFRobotShop_Rover to control the rover with this html page: myrobots.com/w/images/MyDFRobotShopRover.html.
So far the the robot doesn’t move at all. Not sure if the probelem is with the XBEE module header soldering job i did. Thats the only thing I can think of that might cause this not to work. Is there any way to test the XBEE module? anyone have some simple code to test? otherwise what could the problem be? I have run other sample code and the rover can move around, so its not a problem with the motors.
Thanks for your help
ps-anyone know where i can download hyperterminal from? Win7 doesn’t seem to have it
The first thing to test is the MyRobots Connect. Once it is plugged into your router and powered, go to a browser and type “myrobots” in the address (no “.com” or “http”, just that single word). and you should see a simple page served by your MyRobots Connect displaying some information about the device. If you see the page, the communication with the network is working.
The second thing to test would be to make sure you entered your robot key on your Arduino code and that you are also entering it in the control page you are using.
In order to troubleshoot the XBee module on your rover, you can use Hyperterminal indeed. We saved it form an old XP installation and you can download it here: [ATTACH]527[/ATTACH]
However, there is a more modern tool that can help you with the troubleshooting X-CTU: digi.com/support/productdetail?pid=3352&osvid=57&type=utilities
