Finally got my microcontroller working
« on: January 10, 2008, 09:34:04 AM »
I'm sooooooooooo happy  ;D ;D ;D I finally got my $50 robot microcontroller working!!!! It took like 3 months just to get it working (not including the actual soldering of the circuit). It was all just because of a bridge in the programmer header. The only problemn is i ran the modify servo program and the servos are moving in opposite directions is it just the programming?

They are supposed to.

Once they are mounted onto your bot they need to spin opposite to work correctly, youll realise when its all built

Are you giving the servos the correct pulse at the correct oscillator setting?
Check out the Roboduino, Arduino-compatible board!

It was just the potentiometer shaft when I modifyed it for my RC system it wasn't the same as the microcontroller.

if you look at my code for a bit, you will see a line calling the servos.

just run that line in the main section and comment out the other stuff.
