Tech Thursday

We’re picking up where we left off with last week’s Tech Thursday, A Computer Cart on a Mecanum Chassis – Part 1. This week, we will simply be posting the code for the Mecanum Computer Robot and its remote.

Here’s the code for the remote:

//			: All Rights Reserved
//  Arduino		: Arduino Uno R3	
//  A Mirf example to use the nRF24L01 and Arduino to act as a wireless remote.
//  The Remote reads two analogs and transmits them

//  Hardware SPI:
//    MISO -> 12
//    MOSI -> 11
//    SCK -> 13
// 
//  Configurable:
//    CE -> 8
//    CSN -> 7
