Nothing to do with beta's here , just my arduino scratchpad
RC 1/14 Scale Range Rover
To Do
Create arduino basic framework code (define pin I/O)- 21/7/11- Bluetooth RS232 module
- Connect Bluetooth RS232 module to pins 0(RX) , 1 (TX) ,+5v(power) , GND
- Solder in headers ontop of relay shield for better access to pins
- Relay Shield
Connections to be made to Com & N/o (N/C is connected when pin is LOW)- 21/7/11 used old floppy drive power cable and molex- Set pin HIGH to turn ON relay , pin LOW to turn OFF
Run standard timed relay test code, on for 1s, off for 1s-21/7/11 , surprised at the build quality, no solder splashes and everything fits in the headers- Motor shield
- Again run standard motor tests
- Intergrate relay and motor shield code
- Camera
Create Roof rack for camera (use old caddy from sun server)- 22/7/11Mount Wireless Video Transmitter- 22/7/11 - Duct tape to the rescue- BNC(camera) to RCA(transmitter) converter - 22/7/11 - Cheap ebay purchase £1.50 for 4
- Step up 7.4v to 12v for camera
- Step up 7.4v to 9v for transmitter
- ( or will it be better to step down 12v to 9v & 12v to 5V (for arduino) ?? ) - then again should probably not use the same power source for the motors & the arduino , could introduct noise in the lines
- RC Car
- Remove old mini bulbs from headlights/taillights and replace with leds
- remove plastic windows
- (side note , battery compartment on the rc car takes 5x AA - 7.5v , better to use this as input voltage for the arduino )
