I thought I would move this thread to the projects area, it seemed a bit more relevant. The Biped section looks like its more for questions/answers.
Ok here is the picture of my scout (again)…
As I said in my other thread its a standard Scout with an SSC32 strapped to its back, being controlled via a Mega2560. At the moment I have a hard wired PS2 remote connected to give me some input but hopefully i’ll have some wirefree option soon enough.
Thanks for looking, I’m going to try and keep this up to date as the project progresses.
My small form Mega has turned up, along with a cheapie bluetooth -ttl module.
Here’s the Mega…
and here’s it all attached…
Much tidier than that big board on its back!
Got it all connected up and working. I can now send commands straight to the scout via my phone, only basic ones at the moment (stand up, sit down, swing left etc etc) but its finally untethered which is really cool.
Got to work on the code now to get it walking and moving about!
Really cool, Keith. What type of phone are you using for control? Android? Did you code the Arduino yourself?
How are you communicating to the SSC-32?* [Nevermind: I just saw my answer to this last question in your original post]*
Its an android phone, I’ve got an app called bluetooth controller which let’s me assign a value to a button. Its nothing special but it serves a purpose to test serial commands!
I’m trying to code as much as possible myself, don’t get me wrong other peoples code is pointing me in the right direction but I’m trying to keep it original.
