New to Arduino, but have to present a 4WD DFRobot project in a few hours.
I will be mounting "OWI-535 Robotic Arm Edge" which will be picking up certain objects and placing them in a basket.
The Entire System is:
DFRobot
I have a choice of UNO or Mega MicroController
(I was using Mega but was having issues uploading "Motor_Shield_Demo_Code" to test if I could communicate, so I switched to UNO. The 2 left wheels did turn but since then only the Red and Green LEDs on the Motor Shield are blinking. Even after resetting I cannot get the wheels to turn again when I upload the same file. Do I have to erase all the upload from UNO?)
Since I am new to this, I am not sure what the proper process is to communicate. Unfortunately I don't have time to go through tutorials since the project is due shortly.
The Motor Shield is "Seeedstudio V 1.0"
I am done assembling the 4WD and the circuits, but need guidance with the following
Best way to upload the codes to UNO or MEGA?
Which codes to upload in order to operate the 4WD?
How to wire a controller (I only have a PS2 controller)
What codes to upload for the controller to move the 4WD.
What is the simplest code that I can send to the DFRobot from my computer to see if the Motor Shield is working before I go ahead with wiring the remote control?
I do have 2 Robot Arms so I might be able to use the controller from the other to operate the DFRobot instead of the PS2 if that is easier and faster.
Any guidance will be appreciated.
