(Am I understanding your question?) --Correctamundo. Figured out how to do what I want it to do a couple of days ago; chapter 4 of the Parallax book "What's a Microcontroller?" covers it. Took a *lot* less programming than I had feared. Now I can control rotation speed and direction with a *tiny* pot. Next step will be to do something a little more robust that can survive a "real world" situation, then build it into the art car.
: I'd be surprised that Victor doesn't provide some insight on this, as : their controllers were heavily used during the combat robot craze, and : people were adapting them for all sorts of applications. --Yeah, that's where I got mine; salvaged from a middleweight that never saw combat, thanks to the big-ass lawsuit between RW and BB. Now all I got to do is figure out a few more projects, to use my three remaining Victors! :-)
