Cherokey 4WD Features
andhie 2013-09-24 07:35:55 13164 Views19 Replies Hi Everybody,
I just bought Cherokey 4WD Platform and assemble it accordingly. But unfortunately i didnt find any documents on how to wiring up my Arduino UNO or how to make it works with the Gamepad (i also bought it) using the Xbee modules (i have 2 xbee modules too).
Can any body help me with these ? at least give me any sample sketch or drawing so i can maximize these parts.
Thanks before hand

2013-09-29 19:07:05 Hi,
If you see connection error, unplug your xbee module, and plug it again ( just like a reset )
don‘t unplug the xbee adapter. and restore it. maybe it can work.
And the PCB has been burned? it is broken ? what is your power supply? too high? or short circuit?
the code is about PWM control the speed, value "255" means the fast speed. it burned when you change the value 100 to 255 ?? Grey.CC

Grey.CC 2013-09-29 05:07:33 hi grey,
horay, i just made the wireless connection between the platform and my laptop using my new pair of Xbee S1.
I can turn the motors using the the keyboards via the xbee. Thanks grey for the hints. I Appreciate it.
I havent try it with the gamepad becoz when i try to move platform something burn in the platform pcb. was it because i change the speed of the motor from 100 to 255 ?
below the pict of burning pcb.

For the broken Xbee S2 i cant even connect it to my pc, i always get this dialog box from th X-CTU :
I used xbee USB adapter V2.0 from dfr.

andhie 2013-09-27 00:45:24 Hi, your xbee can't read by your PC ?
Did you try to restore it? Maybe it will help you to fix it.

Yes the Xbee's are Series 2 model.
unfortunately i broke one of the module whiles trying to connecting them days ago, when i try to change the firmware on purpose to make it work ;D and i can not acessing the module via USB port :-\.
I will try your advice as soon as i got another modules from the store.
Will inform you later.

Your xbee module is S2. It is a little complex.

first, we test your xbee first. if your xbee is S1, it has been done.
if your xbee is S2? HaHa you need set your xbee as the below picture.
After you input your address, you can communicate with each other.

Grey.CC 2013-09-25 05:34:13 Hi Grey,
It Works. And as i expected :
1. The connection / command to the platform came from my laptop (via serial connection on Arduino IDE). If i can give note here for code by Phoebe, the EN status for the motor M1 and M2 are reverted for every direction :D . but i believe it will depends on the author and the constructor taste wether to put it straight on the code or the wiring. Which i prefer latter.
2. i can read which button are press or value of the joystick position via serial windows on IDE.
my next challenge now :
Communicate between GamePad and the Platform using Xbee.
I already have 2 Xbee cards (2 mW PCB Antenna - Series2 Zigbee Mesh). I have try to connecting GamePad with Xbee and my laptop using X-CTU software but cannot joining these two Xbee.
Any Suggestion ?
,regards.

andhie 2013-09-24 20:42:47 Hi Grey,
Thanks for the info.
Yes i want to control the platform with the Gamepad. And plug the UNO on the platform.
Will back yo you for the update... thanks a lot. andhie

You want to make a robot which is controlled by your gamepad, right?
What do you want to connect your Arduino uno to? the platform? I think its wiki will help you about the wire connection. [url=https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Cherokey_4WD_Mobile_Platform_(SKU:ROB0102)]https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Cherokey_4WD_Mobile_Platform_(SKU:ROB0102)[/url]
And the Gamepad, you can plug your xbee inside. it is wiki about Gamepad [url=https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Wirless_GamePad_V2.0_(SKU:DFR0182)]https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Wirless_GamePad_V2.0_(SKU:DFR0182)[/url]
