Well, we need a few more details. What's a "PSX 2", for one thing.

SAMMY

the psx 2 controller project in n&v magazine vol. 4

Jon Williams

Are you running this program? Remeber that it takes a long time to get all the data from the PSX, so this simple program drives the BOE-Bot using the arrow keys on the left side of the PSX controller.

Sorry to be dense, but I don't have "n&v magazine vol. 4". So, if you explain in words what a "psx 2" is, perhaps we'll be able to help.

the project pertains of controlling a boe-bot w/ a playstation 2 controller

Jon Williams

To be clear, the article has to do with interfacing to the PSX controller -- as a simple aside I tossed in the Boe-Bot project. Again, the Boe-Bot project uses only part of the controllers capabilities (just the buttons, does not read the analag joystick data -- not enough time to do that and refresh servos appropriately).

Jon can you send me information on this project
what is the blue leds for

Jon Williams

There is no additional information -- this was a quick project and is presented as-is.· The LEDs were purely for decoration; when you press the fire buttons on either side of the handle the LEDs light.· You can see the robot I built (a demo for the IBM EXITE camp)·using the inteface in the attached photo.· The LEDs are plugged into the breadboard and face forward like lasers.
