Hello, I am building a robot that will be controlled by an Arduino Uno who follow a pre-programming traject into a GPS and will be equipped with motion detector to avoid object to run well to it's final destination.

I wonder if anyone would have a basic programming code for Arduino UNO to share with me to begin my project !!


Thank you for your help!

Michel, Canadian Robot

Easy Enough

  1. Power Supply (5V)
  2. Left/Right Output 1
  3. 0V
  4. Fore/Aft Output 1
  5. Fore/Aft Output 2 (If Avail)
  6. Power Supply / 2 – (2.5V Output Ref.)
  7. Left Right Output 2 (If Avail)
  8. Not Connected

Pin Out

If you need to build a longer cable:
Cable:         1mm flat ribbon cable 28 awg

Ends:          Mouser #: 649-98414-G06-08LF
Receptical:  Mouser #: 649-89361-708LF

Michel

What model is the P&G Joystick you are going to emulate?  Should be on a sticker ont he bottom of the joystick, the first set...

No idea.  None of the Joysticks have a round connector.  It's possible that they used different ends on the cable, but unlikely.  Look at http://www.pennyandgiles.com/brochures.php is pretty extensive.

J&G Joysticks are amazing and the interface goes from simple potentiometers to redundent Hall Effect to CAN Bus... So depending on what the board came out of interfacing there can be a hard call wihtout some docs.
