Hi i have built my own P89V51RD2FN based mobile tracked platform and would like some help in programming the micro to run a differential drive …?

any algorithms that work on timers to be used in differential drive …?

Thanks in advance …

After doing a Google search on that part, I find it is an 80C51 based microcontroller. I’m not sure anyone here is using that particular family of controller for their robots. It seems like we us just about everything else though. :wink: You might be able to make use of some C code examples others here have written to help you write code for your micro.

You might find sapian59’s thread on his Dual PIC controller board useful, since he has posted links to the code he has written for it in C. You may be able to translate the algorithms over to be useful for the 80C51.
