Build the Propeller BOE Transmitter
If you have not used an XBee module with your Propeller BOE before, see the Wireless Programming with XBee Spin tutorial. If you try that tutorial, be sure to change your I/O pin connections for the XBee DO and DI pins to the ones shown below when you build this project.
Propeller BOE Transmitter I/O Connections
- P3 XBee 802.15.4 Data In (DI) Pin
- P4 XBee 802.15.4 Data Out (DO) Pin
- P30 USB COM port Tx
- P31 USB COM port Rx
Build the Propeller Juke-Bot Receiver
To build a robot with your Propeller Board of Education, follow the directions in the first three sections of this tutorial.
Add the PING))) Sensor and rotating turret, following the directions in the Mounting Bracket Kit and using the I/O pins for the sensor and servo listed below.
If you have not used your Veho speaker before, you may need to charge its battery before using it (USB charging cable included). Mount the Veho Speaker stand to the VGA connector, then open the speaker and slip it over the stand. There should be just enough cord length to plug the speaker into the audio jack on the Propeller BOE. The stereo jack is hard-wired to P26.
The SD card connections are hard-wired into the Propeller Board of Education, so there's no need to build circuits for that.
