blush.gif·Greetings! This is my first post and I am wondering if anyone can help me. I am building from scratch with the following components. A USB BOE PS2, 2-HB25 motor controlers, Motors from an old force feedback controller, Wheels from an old RC project, Some plastic that was laying around, A 6cell ni-cad batt, a Ping, and a pan-tilt assm.·My question now is, what do I do? I have a motor test program that verified that the morors work. I have not figured out a program that will make this thing move. I'm afraid I don't know enough about programing. So I need some help. I need a program that will run the motors and allow the ping to function while it pans so that this thing I have constructed will avoid ??????

    Well friend, first let me welcome you to the Parallax community!

    AS to your "problem:" You have got alot of work infront of you. I would probably help those wanted to help you if you posted a picture of your bot if you have built it. If would probably also help us help you if your questions were more of a bullpoint style. I'm going to assume you need the following:

    **How do I make the motor move

    You are going to want to look up the HB-25's on parallax's site and use some of the provided example code

    **How do I make the ping work
    **How do I move a servo/pan/tilit system
    **How do I naviagte w/ the ping

    There is actually code already built for this, perhaps another board person can help you

    I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I'm having a hard time thinking I'm so sick. I hope you get the help you need!

    Download the documentation for the boe bot. Most of what you need is there or on the pages that advertise the parts you purchased.
