Parallax 912MHz Transreceivers
Hi all,
I finally got my pair of Parallax 912MHz transreceivers working and I would like to say that it was one of the easiest projects that I have put together in a while.
The transreceivers have very good range and work great even when one transreceiver·is a floor above the other.
I am presently using one transreceiver to transmit the digitized (BS2e/ADC0834) x and y values of a pair of two axis joysticks and the on/off state of six switches. The other transreceiver receives the transmitted data stream,which a BS2e processes and then hands·off over a serial connection to a mini-Bot Board, that controls my Lynxmotion 4WD1 Rover.
The transreceivers/BS2es are taking the place of a PS2 wireless controller and receiver that normally control 4WD1 Rover. This way I can have two way communication with the Rover.
My control system is a modified version of the "Follow Me" Lynxmotion 4WD1 Rover thermal tracker that appeared in the July issue of Robot. The difference being that I can take manual control of the 4WD1 Rover over the wireless link and well as hand off to the TSA sensor for automatic·steering and speed.
Regards,
TCIII
