Help with Arduino wireless Project.

Projects General Guidance

Hey guys,

I'm having a bit of trouble with my arduino project. I'm not well versed in arduino programming or anything but I was wondering if any of you could maybe give me some guidance into an issue I am experiencing. Right now I'm trying to implement XBOX controls for an RC kart. I have the XBOX controller connected by USB communicating with an Arduino through the standard serial port and I was wondering if it was possible to have communicationns between this arduino and another one (which communicate via a wireless XBEE sheild). I've manage to get communnications between both arduino's using the serial commands but the moment I use the serial port to communicate with the xbox controller I cant use the standard serial commands. Is there any other way of communicating between two arduino's wirelessly without the Serial commands?

I know my question isn't that well phrased but if any of you has any possible insight or a direction that I could take then that would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help regardless,

Roberto.

It sounds like the problem is that you have two devices that both need to Serial communication. Since you haven't said what Arduino you are using, I'll assume an Uno. You can use the SoftwareSerial library and move one of them to another set of pins.

Thank you very much for your quick reply! Yes, I am indeed using two arduino uno's.
I'll look into working with the library.

Have a good day!
