Hi,
I have recently purchased a DF robotshop rover v2 and I am having a problem, I have all new batteries in and the battery wire connected, the USB cable is in,
but the power light still remains red. what do i do? and then i was using the hyperterminal that was shown in the youtube video on how to set up the rover,
and the lights next to where the wires connect to the board from the motor are turning green and red when i push w a s or d. I could really use your guys help
because i received the robot several days ago and it has only caused confusion and frustration. thank you.
The PWR LED is only one color (it’s not an RGB LED). That means the board is receiving power.
If you are using AA batteries, be sure to remove the LiPo jumper at the left rear of the board.
The Tx and Rx LEDs indicate date is being sent / received. You need to upload the WASD code to the rover and connect a USB cable.
You can then use any serial terminal (including the one included with the Arduino IDE) to send W, A, S or D to the board.
Note that in Hypterterminal you don’t need to press enter after each command, whereas in the Arduino serial monitor you do.
You also need to have selected the right COM port and baud rate.
