Re: They're Off!!

We have our bot driving!!! I will get the pics up asap. I will tell you ahead of time that it is a mess because the robots motors and sensors are all hidden, so there is pwm running all over the place. I ran into one problem, which was the digital sidecar not getting any power, and it was plugged in. I moved it to another slot in the fuse panel and it worked just fine. I do think it may have been my fault for sticking the wire too far into the wago connector and having the insulation touch instead of the copper.

One question though... how are you supposed to supply power to the gaming router thing on the bot. It did not come with a connector that goes from the fuse panel to the router, only a 120v power supply. Am i just supposed to hack into the wire and cut it, or am i supposed to have one come in the kit?
