Arduino Creeper Bot

This is a hobby project that I have been working on. I call it the Creeper Bot.

It is a hacked RC Car that is controlled with an Xbox 360 controller.

i was wondering if i could use arduino mega for it..or do i need duemilanove?

[howery2]

@XXwikkiXX I'm sure the mega would work just as well.

Very cool. I am working on a similar project right now, far from finished. My question is, how did you make the speed variable? Is this in your code?

[howery2]

@jaysonkarenjohnson Basically, I am setting the "enable" pin for the drive motor on H-bridge motor controller with an analog pin. If I set the pin to 255, then the motor will be fully on. If I set it to 180, then it will go about half the speed. On the C++ side of things, I determine how far the right trigger is held down and determine the fraction of 255. Then I send that over to the arduino which sets the pin off that value.

EXCELLENT!

And this is Why, I'm studying computer science.

I liked software Engineering too But, idk..

Thats a Wicked project!

can you make a tutorial for this? i really want to make one but i am not very good with arduino or C++

if i had one of these i bet i could see lots of naked girls

Very cool idea, was a good that you swapped forward and reverse to the triggers on the controller for the final project. Love the addition of the camera too, although I'd have probably inverted the controls on the stick so that you press down to look up

coolest thing i have seen in rc yet
