In Topic: Selecting a RC car for Netduino Conversion

06 September 2011 - 05:16 PM

I say go with the hobby grade. I have a ~$150 1/8th scale and my breadboard fits perfecially between the suspention. I attached a picture of version 1 which has an Arduino on it. My current one which I don't have a picture of is running Netduino. But I would say 1/8th scale fits my needs quite well and gives me the speed to have fun if I want to. I kept the Speed controler and just removed the reciever. I PWM into it to control the motor and the steering.

Note: for anyone who is going to bash me for posting a picture of an Arduino, that car put a nice dent in my garage door and retired that Arduino (and almost the car) for good. And a side note to that, always work your safety kill switch to turn off the motor not full speed... Just sayin.

You might want to check out SparkFun http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10402 This may be exactally what you are looking for. I feel your pain, it's not easy to use those wires in a breadboard.

In Topic: Parking Sensor

I did the same thing with on of those PING ultrasonic sensors in my garage, I have 2 bright lights, one blue for when the car trips the sensor and a red that goes solid when within 2 feet of the wall and blinking within 1 foot. Mine was actually done with Arduino before I got hooked on Netduino's so good job doing it all in managed code. I am impressed with your code, nice use of comments and I like your implementation of Main, it's structured very well. For the most part everything is very readable but I (take it for what it's worth) don't like you’re use of the variable displayLedLevels. If it were me I may have used a enum to define the Ledlevels or a simple int and matched that int to the OutputPort[] Leds with a for loop or something. It's just constructive criticism to make the code a little more readable and scalable. Overall, good code.

In Topic: Replacing the Headers

Why not just get the Mini?

But I don't think there would be a problem in desoldering the headers and removing the power adapter.
