DFRobotShop Rover Setup by RobotShop.com

www.RobotShop.com

The DFRobotShop Rover -- Arduino Compatible Tracked Robot (Basic Kit) is a versatile mobile robot tank based on the popular Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller. The Rover uses the popular Tamiya twin motor gearbox and the Tamiya track and wheel set. This sequence explains what to do once the rover is assembled, and the Arduino software has been installed. The first half explains what to do if you purchased a basic kit and are using the AA batteries, while the second half explains what to do if you are using the LiPo battery and charger.

I don't have a COM#, could you guys please make a new tutorial...maybe also one for a mac

Thanks!

@TigrisBoticz The different setup for a MAC rather than a PC is actually outlined on the Arduino website under "downloads". If we get more requests, we will make a new video for the V2 board showing how to configure a MAC and a PC.

Useless.Two many distractions. Music, blurred video and sequence way fast. Lastly you are assuming the participant knows what context you are in. If one does not bring the viewer along as if he were a new viewer. You have lost big time.

@abpccpba We appreciate the feedback and will certainly take it into consideration when producing another video. Fortunately the volume can be turned off and the video can be paused. The video is not meant to be "stand alone" and is linked to from the user guide.

I followed the video but I my rover doesn't move when I enter w,a,s,d Any help??

[RobotShopTV]

@turtleD90 If you purchased the basic kit, you need to have the USB cable connected in order to send commands. First, check that the program uploads to the board correctly, and that the AA battery pack is connected and the on/off switch is set to ON (so the motors receive power). If not, you can contact us on the RobotShop Forum (there is a thread about the DFRobotShop Rover which addresses many issues.
