  • You Reply: Ok, I understand, but, if I don't connect the 2x2A DC Motor Shield for Arduino to the Romeo in the standard mode, but with wires like this:

    To power the Motor Shield logic:
    5V out (Romeo) -> Vin (Motor Shield)
    Ground (Romeo) -> Ground (Motor Shield)

    To drive the motor connected to the Motor Shield:
    Pins 8, 9, 10, 11 (Romeo) -> Pins 4, 5, 6, 7 (Motor Shield)
    Ground (Romeo) -> Ground (Motor Shield)

    I suppose it can be a valid solution.

    What's your opinion?
  • You Reply: I want to try this solution:

    Example: http://www.robotshop.com/en/3wd-100mm-omni-wheel-mini-mobile-robot.html

    Where the Arduino 328 Controller will be the Romeo BLE - Arduino Robot Control Board with Bluetooth 4.0 and the Arduino IO Expansion will be the 2x2A DC Motor Shield for Arduino.

    But, I've a question, can I change the motor control pins to avoid conflicts?

    Thanks.

  • You Reply: I repeat my question...

    What are the steps for the sostitution of the product?
    Thanks.
  • You Reply: Hi, excuse me but I don't understand this step: "I Tapped GPIO9 5 times with 3.3v". Can you explain this operation?
    Thanks!
  • You Reply: Have you a solution? Is there a substitution plan in this case?
  • You Reply: Hi bluehawk, you should follow this discussion. ;)
  • You Reply: This is the situation.

    Components:

    Wifi module: Wifi Bee-RN-XV

    Wifi adapter: XBee USB Adapter V2

    Now, I've tried to:

    - Connect the wifi module to wifi adapter and the adapter to the PC, the adapter was recognized such an Arduino UNO, ok, but the module doesn't respond, no leds lights, no sign of life, nothing!

    - Connect the wifi module to an Arduino MEGA 2560 with expansion board (XBee socket), the module doesn't respond, no leds lights, no sign of life, nothing!

    - Connect the wifi module to a Romeo V2 (XBee socket), the module doesn't respond, no leds lights, no sign of life, nothing!

    - Insert the wifi module to wifi adapter like your image, the module doesn't respond, no leds lights, no sign of life, nothing!

    In this conditions I can't try the Arduino server mode.

    I think the problem is the wifi module.
  • You Reply: I've received the Wifi Bee-RN-XV but it doesn't works.

    Thanks.
  • You Reply: Hi, I've the same problem. I've tried to change USB cable, computer and OS (Win7 and Win10). Nothing, the adapter light is red, the wifi module don't have any light. How can I resolve the problem?
  • You Reply: In your product I've seen the Mega 2560, not the UNO. For this reason I ask how to mount the board on the hexapod base.
  • You Reply: Thanks for the response!
    In your product you use only 2 screws?
  • You Reply: An impossible question?  ???
  • You Reply: Thanks!

    Another important question, at this time the Mega IO Expansion Shield V2.1 is out of stock. When will be possible to order it? Thanks.
  • You Reply: Can you respond to my question please? Thanks.
  • You Reply: Now I wait a version of Romeo board to connect 20 servos DIRECTLY on the board, my goal is to program them using the servo.h library.  :D

    Another suggestion, an hexapod frame like the [url=http://www.hexapodrobot.com/products/robots/Hexapod_MSR-H01.html]MSR-H01 Hexapod Kit[/url] for a future DFRobot hexapod. This frame has the space for a tilt head. Only a suggestion by a user.  ;)
  • You Reply: Ok, Romeo is a all-in-one controller for robotics, but it can't control 20 servos...
    At this time I don't have an Arduino DUE, and there aren't shields for this board, only shields for previous models.
  • You Reply: In my opinion, at this moment, the only upgrade necessary is that the Romeo is able to control 20 or more servos. The board is Arduino compatible and has an XBee and a bluetooth module for the wireless control.

    In the future, the Romeo should be based on the Arduino DUE, but, now I need the capacity to control enough servos to move the robot (9 left, 9 right e 2 to tilt head). Only a board to control all electronic of the robot (servos, sensors, wireless control).  :)
