All I could find in the tracker code was one digital input defined. How do I connect up the 4 ir sensors and how do I code in the extra inputs to make this work?
I have been basing most everything off the default code... I still am not quite certain how to use the spike relays either...

The positions are stated in the comments. They arnt defined because they are interrupt driven. Look at the comments in tracker.c and recever.c, I cant remember the exact order but they are on digital inputs 3-6 (interupts 3-6 on your edubot). The PWMs are changeable and that is defined somwhere in there... its defaulted to pwm01 and pwm02, youl have to check the comments for that too. As for wiring... I think a schematic came with the kit... Or at least was in the manual. I cant remember exactly where I found it, but its essentualy the detector wired right to a sensor cable with a noise filter...
As for relays, thats very simple. Relays operate in 3 states. Forword, reverse, and neutral. Each relay relies on 2 binary varriables to deturmine its state. Lets use relay 1 for an example. If you wanted to set relay 1 forward you would do
relay1_fwd=1;
relay1_rev=0;
for reverse you would do
relay1_fwd=0;
relay1_rev=1;
For neutral they would both be zero. DONT set them both to one! Hope this helps
