Boe-Bot + MSRS + Dashboard
Installed Visual Studio 2005
Installed MSRS 1.5
Built the BoeBot on a Board of Education platform / Stamp2
Installed the BlueTooth adapter - got everything talking
Was able to create the solution by following the tutorial and successfully·downloaded to the BoeBot
Bluetooth light is on - got the double beep and flashing led
Opened the Control Panel (very cool)
Opened the Sample Dashboard - set the host and port fields, and got a response (host machine recognized - identified)
However, the /drivedifferentialtwowheel service is not running and the eyeball control doesn't activate the motors - probably because the drive service isn't running.
Any suggestions on how to debug/fix this?
I moved on to Tutorial4 and was able to get everything to work beautifully with the 4-arrow+stop interface.

The BoeBot tests OK using TestSpeakerLedsServos.bs2
I notice there are several versions of the control code, BeoBotControlForMsrs.bs2 and BeoBotControlForMsrsCtp2.bs2 along with several PDF docs floating around...
Within the Control Panel, I selected "Create" for both the Boe-Bot Generic Drive and the Boe-Bot Generic Motor services.
I then started the Dashboard service and filled in the machine and port fields and pressed the Connect button.
"/bsdrive/drive" showed in the service screen and everything worked.
