dual control rc and arduino without a switch

i had made an airsoft tank and wanted it both to freeroam and be controlled by rc. and found it to be quite simple actualy using the ping code. this is just the begining of the code but the robot will nagigate with ping and when the rx is switched on will stop the arduino. and when switched off will let it continue. i did this using an unused channel on the rx. when the rx is swithed on but the tx is not it sends out no pulses but when the tx is switched on its send pulses high then a servos range. using the ping code it reads at 17 inches. so modding the ping code.

who wants to help with code?

this is the code for my new robot it uses two servos to drive forward and a ping mounted on a servo that sweeps back and forth when it senses something 9inches or closer it backs up and turns right. what i would like it to do is when is sees something it will take the angle of the servo and if its right it will turn left if its left it will turn right. any ideas? btw i cant claim the two main peices of code one was found here will give credit when i remember who posted it. 2nd is the ping sample

i have come to realize my robots dont stay in one peice for too long. i get a new idea and parts go flying. guess thats a part of being broke. anyone else have this problem? blocky has been torn down and his peices are on my new robot to be posted soon the rest of his parts are going to end up on my airsoft robot. look out for that one too. i guess this is just an update on whats been going on. havent been around for a while moved out and whatnot

so this is a non-robot kinda deal so i'll blog about it just to let the people that aren't in chat know whats going on. progress on all my bots are slow. got a few projects going on right now including rfid entry in my car. right now its on breadboard im using my dorkboard and the prfid reader. when it senses the correct card it activates one relay to act as the unlock switch and then it will also pop my door. see one fo my other pastimes is car audio and customization.

will update in a little bit. got a ping in its chest.  had a robosapien V1 (from here on out known as RS) since they went on sale at walmart for 40usd (about a … Read more
