  • hi, im about to do almost the exact thing(but in c++ and with servos), so how does it "read the instructions"? is there any example or tutorial on this?

  • @Z3r0XoL sorry i didnt read the description :)

  • maybe a usb host shield can handle the joystick?

  • Very cool project

  • Comment removed

  • also , i know this sounds silly, but can you tell me if i can get this done without taking a soldering iron in hand? because i am not a electronics guy!

    Is there a step by step Document for this project of yours which tells the basic stuff too, right from parts, to integration and software?

    i would have loved to figure this out myself but this time i am really short on time , and this is just the first part of the project i need to do. thanks

  • I did not use a soldering iron to build this it was nothing more than little point to point cables between the motor and micro controller. The rest of it is just a 9v power supply (usb does not have enough) and two usb connections (joystick, micro controller). This is very easy to put together, but unfortunately there is no ready made tutorials.

    I am sending you a pm about this because I simply cannot type more, I will also provide my email in it.

  • @Halo2maniaccc

    Thanks for the replay.. I have accepted your Friend request, but did not get the private message with your email in it.

    May be now you can send me that pm.

    waiting on it.. thanks..

  • @Halo2maniaccc

    Thanks! I got a friend request from you. but did not get a pm yet,. May be now you can send me the pm with your mail in it.

    waiting for it :) thanks!

  • hi can u send me the info to

  • hi! thanks for a quick response! actually i am working on a project for robotics course for which first part is exactly what you have done here for Servos!

    Can I get in touch with you on email regarding this because i have quite a few questions to ask.

    also Can you tell me how difficult it would be to get this part done at my end if i have all the hardware and code (provided on your site) ready? and how much time should i expect?

    Thanks.

  • Hi Awesome work there. I am trying to do something similar for my college Project. Can you shed some more light on the Hardware and integrations? Thanks!

  • The hardware was very simple involving two parts. The first was an arduino usb micro controller that was programmed with some very simple code (available in the video description) and the second was a Vex robotics motor. This motor is nothing more than a geared motor encased with a PWM driver that connects to the micro controller. From there is was just software so it was a very minimalistic design just to show that the joystick could control it!

    If you have any more questions please ask!

  • Can you please answer me what you do is amazing i just ant to know can you use c++ as well to create this and what template would you use to create this such as win 32 console can you please tell me thanks

  • I do not really know how to do it in C++, there are librarys out there to do it but you will have to google for them as I have never used them but I will be using them soon in QtCreator. (This is a cross platform IDE) it is in C++ and can make console or GUI app's for mac, linux, and windows. Plus using a joystick in that is not that hard as there are several video tutorials on it.

  • so this the same code as the stepper motor code and btw, isnt the servo supposed to run on the x axis?

  • No the code is not the same, its similar in the way it works but its not the same. The Y axis was the only one that I used. I am sure that I could have set up the X axis to run the servo and kept the Y for the motor but I just kept it simple with one axis for both.

  • hey can you post source code and other stuff if you can

  • I just posted it onto my google code place. Its not very good code so I would recommend that you look at the tutorial and my code and use them to write your own so you understand how it works.
