Re: Arduino Motor Controller

We did this a while back and if there is one thing I recommend is trying to emulate some of the safety features built into the typical FRC control system.

For instance if you are wireless with the Arduino, have a watchdog that will disable your drive motors if you move out of range. Chasing down a rampaging robot stuck in full speed is no fun.
