xBee Remote Robot
Kevin and Ilya's design project ft. xBee
This project involves controlling one Mbed with another over Series 1 XBee modules. The first mbed broadcasts left and right speed values generated by two Phidget sliders encoded within an 8-bit char.The values are then passed to two independent H-bridge drivers to enable a tank-drive style setup on a Sparkfun Magician Chassis robot.
