I have taken a couple of years off of this omnibot 2000 build. I kind of get stuck, frustrated and quit. Then every no and then I comeback and look at it again. I have watched a lot of the videos people/bot have recommended and I'm still stuck. Mostly this is because I'm not an electrical engineer...LOL I know how to take things apart and monkey with stuff. I can solder and follow instructions but this project has stalled. My main issue is that the videos go to fast and are not detailed enough for my limited knowledge. So here is where I'm at. How do I wire the hbridge to the ezb and battery and how do I wire the 8 motor wires to the hbridge? Here are a couple pictures to show what I have going. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I have the three pins on the right soldered in. S1, +5, and GND. I tried putting it on a d10 an ADC0. Obviously, I have no idea what I'm doing but no light.
All of the tutorials have broken links or no video on youtube. Looking at the picture above do you think it takes all 6 pins? I'm stumped.
If anyone has any advice on what pins to connect to and what control to add I would appreciate it. All I want to do is give this bot some eyes.
Thanks,
CMC

I assumed when you mentioned I2C it was an I2C device.
Looking to the specs that is a neopixel and you cant connect directly to the EZB.
you need a neopixel controlller and or an arduino or a parallax controller with custom firmware.
Search for neopixel to get an idea of what it is.
Thanks,

I just got the idea to use one of my Disc Golf mini markers to make a frame for the servo. What I was getting at is which way do I mount it? Sideways or front to back? Or does it matter? The ultrasonic servo I can set the radius that it can turn. I'm not sure if that applies to the motion tracking so I want to get it right before I break out the hot glue. =)
Front to back?
Sideways?
