Hey there everybody,
New guy here with a newb question
I can't seem to get my robot to move in any direction other than forward and backwards.
I'm using the HBridge (on D15-D18) with PWM on D0, and a Wii remote. The little bot just won't turn right/left.
I'm sure the answer is simple. Is it a matter of scripting or something more obvious?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've only been at this for a few days, so go ahead and assume I know next to nothing.

Here's how my hbridge is set up:
If it was connected correctly, it'll just work. You won't need scripting or any configuration outside of the HBridge wiring. That being said, the symptom you are experiencing sounds like the HBridge channels are not connected correctly...
For example, Left Trigger A and Left Trigger B are not connected to the Left Channel of the HBridge.
It would seem that one of the Left Triggers is connected to one of the Right Channels - and vice versa.
Verify your wiring and it'll work
Ps, hello! Welcome to EZ-Robot!
Be sure to install a PWM slider control and set it to your D0 port. Then you will have to move the slider up to over 20 percent to get the motor to move. The higher you move the slider the faster the motor will move. bottom the slider out and the motor will stop. If you have no PWM control installed in ARC your motor will not move (unless you use a EZ Script).
Fixed! The wiring was mostly correct and the aforementioned PWM was fine, but the hbridge settings were waaaaaay off. With a little trial and error (mostly error) and some help from my super-asian boyfriend, my bot can now move in all directions via Wii remote!
Here are the changes I made to the settings:
I really appreciate the direction/support from DJ and Dschulpius. You were right DJ. Once it was set up properly, no scripting was needed. It just worked, beautifully.
AND! Who knew DJ was such a night owl? Look at that response time
Thanks again guys, Sam & Christian
lol, i don't sleep much
glad it worked out for you!
DJ, I know this is not the proper forum for this, but...
As a 30-something, ebm/industrial kid at heart, I really like some of your music. Especially "mostly harmless" "electric ghost" and "lessons in analog" Are they still available for download?
