Wireless RC Boe-Bot

Waruma

Hello, I've been trying to get my Boe-Bot to become remote controlled, but I'm having problems with the code. I think I've done everything correctly, but I just can't get it to work. Can someone please help with my code snippets? I don't know if it's timing issues, or what but I can't get it...

Let's start by what you are getting between the two, what you expect, how you have it connected and what are you using to communicate.

Franklin - halfway through my explanation of what I was trying to do and what pins were connected to what in my circuit - I found a miss wire. I fixed it and my code works as expected. I will continue to expand upon this code to make the robot travel in more directions than forward.

Thanks for your help!
