Posted on 3/10/99 7:52 PM MST In Reply to: Need info on how to build temp. receiver and transmitter posted by Paul Michalczuk on 3/10/99 7:21 PM MST: What you need depends on what you want to do. Some teams simply want to control motors on the other end of a radio link using a joystick as a input device. If this is what you want, contact team #175 UTC & Erico Fermi (if memory serves). They had a "how to" book available at the FIRST kick off meeting. I am sure that they have more. If not, e-mail me, I can make a copy of the one I have for you. If on the other hand you want to have a FIRST compatible controller, that is a more difficult task, though not impossible. Many teams have reverse engineered the FIRST controller. Most who do so have not bothered to document it well enough to hand it to a 3rd party for them to make it. In our own team's case, we would have some trouble following our own scraps and notes, yet alone walking you through it. However, one man claims to have a package that is up to the challenge (there may be more, but I know of this one alone). The info you seek is on our old forum pages (golly am I glad we keep those old postings...) Follow the link to this message: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/wwwboard-...ssages/22.html You may want to read the entire thread before contacting Rick Berube. The message contains a link to e-mail him directly. I caution you that it is pretty late in the day to start rolling your own controller. It is a pretty tough project, even with plans. But... I wish you and your team good luck and much success. Regards, Forum Historian, Joe J. |
