White Paper Discuss: Using an Operator Interface with the 2004 EDU RC

[Andy Brockway]

I am using R/C connectors from Radio Shack. I modiifed the corners to allow entry into the Edu connector.

We powered up our 2003 robot last night and had a splendid display of the need to debug. The shifting switch turned the beacon off and on and the air pump never shut off just for starters. We will be running around after Thanksgiving!

Hey.
Thanks alot for this code. We finally decided to put it to good use on a prototype bot. To power the second controller we just used 6 Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries (1.2 volts each * 6 = 7.2 volts), and some alligator clips to connect them to the terminals... Its a little shaky but it works. One thing I would like to add that we overlooked and spent a half an hour diagnosing is that the switch on the 2003 EDURC needs to be switched to "Program." Its very easy to overlook. Otherwise the code and setup works great! Thanks alot Dave!
