Any ideas guys ?

Hi

I am also using visual studio 2013 pro update 3, my firmware on the N+2 is 4.3.1.0

I followed this example on youtube and I got mine to blink

The only thing I can say is try change your Thread.Sleep(250) to Thread.Sleep(1000) and see if that makes a difference.

Also try the "How To's" on this page, check if the push button works etc etc etc.

Does it output any errors when you try and deploy ?

Hey CW2

Your suggestion above worked so I investigated the code a bit further. The problem was the PWM code. See all the examples I found, PWMA was connected to pin5, So we were choosing channel5, So basically we physically connected it to pin5 to the N+2 but in code you have to choose PIN0. I think this is because I am using 4.3.1.0.  The code below works

Thanks everybody for your help.

        public static void Main()
        {
            OutputPort stby = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D0, true);

            //motorA
            PWM motorA = new PWM(Cpu.PWMChannel.PWM_0, 10000, 1, true);
            OutputPort a1 = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D1, false);
            OutputPort a2 = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D2, false);
            motorA.Start();

            //motorB
            PWM motorB = new PWM(Cpu.PWMChannel.PWM_1, 10000, 1, true);
            OutputPort b1 = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D8, false);
            OutputPort b2 = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D9, false);
            motorB.Start();


            while (true)
            {
                //this controls motorA
                a1.Write(false);
                a2.Write(true);
                motorA.DutyCycle = (double)0.7;

                //this controls motorB
                b1.Write(false);
                b2.Write(true);
                motorB.DutyCycle = (double)0.7;

Hi wateverz101

You can find examples trolling around the forum and if you post your specific problem, people will surely help you. What hardware do you have to build your robot. What have you done and which is the part you struggling with. Have a look at this post, it will show you how to control a 2WD chassis, It also states all the hardware used and a wiring diagram. Thats to get the motors working. 

Now you would have to add some sensor to your robot to detect obstacles and with the data you receive back from the sensor you can code the required logic.

Sure, I shall take out a pic tonight and upload it, no problem. 

I was reading this article online : http://bildr.org/201...612fng-arduino/

And it talks about the StandBy Pin. Could that be my problem ? Im not sure. I did set it to true and ran the program, did nothing, I set it to false and it didnt do anything. So im not entirely sure.
