Let's Make Robots Robots

 **** New Pics & Video *****

Hello, I am building a robot that will be controlled by an Arduino Uno & EZ-Robot  who follow a pre-programming traject into a GPS and will be equipped with motion detector to avoid object to run well to it's final destination.

I wonder if anyone would have any similar project to share with me  !!


Thank you for your help!

You can hack into the part

You can hack into the part were the joystick is. If you provide some pictures of that area we can help you more :slight_smile:

Sabertooth 2X25 you mean,

Sabertooth 2X25 you mean, right? That is a good controller but it’s a bit tricky to configure the DIP switch. They provide a configuration page which is pretty helpful HERE. I have them to control by arduino or RC remote with no problem now.

Cool robot by the way :wink:

It looks like a great start

It looks like a great start for a robot. For information on GPS navigation you might have a look at my boat project https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/21098 in the MarkII_NAV_microSD.zip file your can find some information on how to navigate.

What model is the P&G

What model is the P&G Joystick you are going to emulate?  Should be on a sticker ont he bottom of the joystick, the first set…

No idea. None of the

No idea.  None of the Joysticks have a round connector.  It’s possible that they used different ends on the cable, but unlikely.  Look at http://www.pennyandgiles.com/brochures.php is pretty extensive.

J&G Joysticks are amazing and the interface goes from simple potentiometers to redundent Hall Effect to CAN Bus… So depending on what the board came out of interfacing there can be a hard call wihtout some docs.

power controller

HI, I have also a INVACARE controller MKIV GB with a Joystic MKIV A do you know that one ?

 

Thanks
