Hi Everyone,
I am a complete newb when it comes to arduino and robotics.
I am currently in a group building a ROV. I need to control about 6 thrusters, an pan/tilt arm with claw at one end, and lights.
My current situation is that I want to control an Arduino Mega tethered through an ethernet cable using the ethernet shield with a Xbox usb controller hooked up to a computer.
I am not sure how the programming should go. Should the basic flow of control be:
XBOX controller -> PC software -> arduino -> circuitry for controlling thrusters.
I am also not sure how the PC program should be written. does it have to be in a certain Arduino language? or can i use C++
All replies appreciated
THANK YOU
