Bill,

If you find that you are still in big trouble with the programming after repeated attempts, post some detailed information about:

1) How you wired the devices to the controller

i.e. Left Wheel -> PWM1
Right Wheel -> PWM2
Compressor -> relay1
Pressure Switch -> rc_sw1
etc.

2) How you expect the 'bot to act given a program

3) Pictures of the 'bot

4) Which Operator Interface devices you want to use

i.e. Joystick 1(X&Y) operates drive system
Joystick 2(Y) operates arm
Joystick 1 (Trigger) operates ball claw
etc.

5) Which events you plan to attend (so we can find you if any of us are at the same event).


I'm sure this community will make every effort to get you going because:

1) We want you to have FUN ! We DON'T want you to start developing ulsers this early in life.

2) We care that you make points (we want them too after all).

3) We aren't challenged enough with just one robot to build

Not to sound like a wise guy but it kind of sounds like you COULD use an Engineer about now ........

I'll be at the Houston, KSC, and National events.
