Re: Getting constant motor power with IR board

Or, even simpler, just put a wait in after you set your pwm's to 255. Make it so your robot goes a reasonable distance (10-15 feet maybe)? That way your motion won't be jerky, and your driver will have some choice in what's going on. Also, if the IR signal goes bad, your robot won't do something silly like ram into a wall, or if you only get one signal through, it'll still move.
