I am trying to control a remote controlled car with a PS2 controller, wirelessly.
I have 2 Arduinos connected to 2 Xbees.
The sending station has the following code:
- Code: Select all
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <PS2X_lib.h> //for v1.6
SoftwareSerial Xbee(2, 3); // RX on pin 2 (unused), TX on pin 3 (to Xbee).
PS2X ps2x; // create PS2 Controller Class
int LMotor;
int RMotor;
void setup()
{
Xbee.begin(57600);
Serial.begin(57600);
ps2x.config_gamepad(7,11,10,12, true, true);
} // Setup
void loop()
{
ps2x.read_gamepad(false, 1);
LMotor = (ps2x.Analog(PSS_LY)-127)*-1*(50)/127 + 64;
RMotor = (ps2x.Analog(PSS_RY)-127)*-1*(50)/127 + 64;
Serial.print(LMotor);
Xbee.print(LMotor);
Serial.print(" - ");
Serial.println(RMotor);
Xbee.print(RMotor);
} // Loop
I have connected the receiving Xbee to Hyperterm and the data comes through, no problem.
I have played with about 100 different ways to set up the receiving Arduino. *None* work.
I have tried:
1. using print and write functions from the sending station.
Amazingly, I can get write to work... For every other character.
2. trying to parse the incoming data while looking for '10' or '/r' or basically any kind of method to signal the end of a number and they never work.
Here's What Hyperterm sees when the controller is at rest:
- Code: Select all

With this code:
- Code: Select all
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial Xbee(2,3);
int LMotor;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(57600);
Xbee.begin(57600);
} // Setup
void loop()
{
delay(1000);
if(Xbee.available())
{
LMotor = Xbee.read();
Serial.println(LMotor);
}
} // Loop
Thanks for any help.
