Rover v2 not working properly

Hello,

My new rover v2 keeps driving back and forth no matter what program I upload to it ( see YouTube).
Is this normal? Any suggestions?

thanks,
MAURITS

What you are seeing is just the sample code used to est the PCB during production.
What code are you trying to upload? We suggest the WASD sample code, as explained in the user guide;

  • Install the Arduino IDE and manually install the Arduino Uno drivers (Windows does NOT automatically detect and install the right drivers)
  • Connect the rover to the computer
  • Copy/paste the sample code to the Arduino interface and click “verify” to check that it’s all there.
  • Within the software, select “Arduino Uno w/328” from the board type, and select the right COM port.
  • Click “upload” and there should be no errors.
  • Using a terminal program, or the Arduino software itself (serial window), send W,A,S,D commands to the rover.

If this does not work, please indicate which step you are stuck on.

Thanks. This works!! It was the ‘[font=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][highlight=#fbfbfb]Arduino Uno w/32’ [/highlight][/size][/font][font=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][highlight=#fbfbfb][size=2]we had to select ( our instruction suggested the duemilanove, which apparently it wasnt).

The DFRobotShop Rover V1 & V1.5 were based on the Arduino Duemilanove - which instructions were you referring to? Can you provide a link?
