Hi all,
I recently acquired a Brookstone Rover 1 and got it working with an older version of ARC. I saw the YouTube video by DJ (2012) where he got a number of functions of ARC to work with the Rover. I was able to get those working but I would like more specific instructions on how to adapt the sonar senor, also shown in that video, to the Rover platform, and how to connect it to the ARC software. Specifically:
What current hardware do I need? Can I just use the ultrasonic distance sensor with the EZ-B loTiny and a 9V battery source?
How do I connect the sonar hardware to the ARC software, given the fact that the software is already connected to the Rover's 2.4 GHz link?
Once I do connect, to get it working with the Rover's controls, is it as simple as just opening the Radar control in the Rover's ARC's panel (and perhaps choosing a few settings in that control)?
Thanks,
Jeff
Yes you will need the motor controller with the IoTiny and a camera. I am sure you can find all the information here to make your rover into an EZ Robot.
