My students have chosen to do 10 of these PS2 Biped BRAT kits…We have hit a wall! We are at step 3 of the PS2 Biped BRAT Tutorial.
We have installed Arduino Software and the ps2x library …how do we download the code? How do we Open the .ino file in the IDE, and program the BotBoarduino ? and does the battery and the usb need to be connected ?
Any Help Would be Great
Have you studied the assembly instructions?
They are some of the best you’ll find.

The newer versions of the Arduino software actually include the PS2 library, so you don’t need to download it separately.

You only need to copy the sample code, paste it into the Arduino IDE and upload it to the board.

The connections to the battery are shown here:

Note that once you no longer need the robot connected via USB, you can set the VL to “EXT” so the logic voltage is powered by the battery as opposed to the USB.
Hope this helps.
thanks cbenson…
.as i stated it is student projects and the inst are not very clear
