my only question as far as this code is where you got the PS/2 library and the network client library.
#include <Ethernet.h> (I already have this one)
#include <ClientUDP.h>(I need these two)
#include <PS2X_lib.h>
Am I correct to assume that you connected to the network using the ethernet shield? |
Hey Garrett,
I worked with Anthony to develop the Arduino control system. Since we've released that source code, the official Arduino code has added in support for UDP packets. You no longer need a 3rd party library, but the code will have to be modified slightly. More on this below.
As far as the PS2X library, you can get it here:
http://www.billporter.info/playstati...-library-v1-0/
Please let me know if you're able to get this working, as I believe this is a new version of the library that we have yet to test.
I've gone ahead and released source code for a basic tank drive robot control system that uses an Arduino (I'd suggest an Ethernet Pro:
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10536) or a Netduino (programmed in Visual Studio). I've released a free/open source Android app that you can use to control the Arduino or Netduino in addition to a Python app that will allow you to use a laptop as a driver station with any USB gamepad.
All the instructions and source code are located here:
http://ttjcrew.com/?p=156 (my personal site)
http://code.google.com/p/ipgamepad/ (google code project)
All of this code uses the latest Arduino version, so you should be able to get a basic system up and running without modifying anything. This works with the native Arduino Ethernet code to send UDP packets.
Hope this will get you off to a good start. I'm always available to answer questions, just shoot me a PM if you need any assistance. Good luck!
