Is that L298N module on top of shield base?
I don't know if that's the model number, but I have the motor shield hooked onto the shield base if that's what you're asking.

Yup, shield base is plugged on to socket 5. I think with a Go it would be fairly difficult to hook up motors without it

Secret Labs is working on a Go Module for Xbee communication devices: link . I think its probably going to be a good solution for bluetooth.

Ok, attached is a zip with the motor class, and the program I'm using with it. Hope this helps!

I'm not seeing the code attached. Maybe I am missing something?
No, you're completely right...I know everybody says this...but I really thought I attached it. That's fine, I'll put the new version of the code here and there when I get home(as my home computer decided to go into hibernate and prevent teamviewer). It'll probably be pretty late

It wasn't too bad setting it up on the go: http://forums.netdui...a-simple-rover/ . There is a beta version of code attached in that post. I've written a class that allows you to create motor objects for each motor port. I can grab that when I get home. If you need help adapting for the regular netduino, let me know.

Supra, I don't have the robot Paul's talking about, but it seems like the motor shield I used for my project would work with this. I included my program for getting the motor going.
/**********Edit***********/
Apparently I didn't actually include it. Code is here. Zip file includes motor class and demo app for my rover.

BTW, what other types of GoBus modules would you like to see for your robot? Distance sensors? Cliff sensors? Skynet interface?
Chris
Glad to hear you like it Chris. The main things I have been looking at deal with IR. A distance sensor like the ping would be awesome for this, because(as Aaron I think mentioned in chat) object avoidance should be a goal for any autonomous project. The other thing I'd like to do with IR is a tachometer, but I'm not sure how that would work as a module. Not sure if there's another way to go about calculating distance traveled and speed.
Could the light sensor that you're working on be adapted into a cliff sensor? I'm really interested in the Xbee module, because I could communicate between two bots over blue tooth, use wifi triangulation, or maybe gps.You're actually not the first person to go straight to terminator with this, not sure why people think its not already connected to....never mind.
Man I didn't even notice the sheet thing. I'll probably take your advice about the robots from toys. I intentionally bought the cheapest RC possible, because I figured I might break it fairly early on. What do you use for platforms now?Is the red/brown sheet just a conincidence? Or did you have Mars in mind
Well done, its not always as easy as you think to convert toys into working robots. I failed to make a toy robot into a stable platform - I had to add too many bateries and mine was then too top heavy.

For my first project with my Netduino Go I wanted to get moving. I bought an extremely simple RC Car at Kmart and got to hacking it with the Go and a Seeed Motor Shield. After having some trouble with Shield Base and PWM, I got it going! The trouble was taken care of by switching to the Microsoft PWM class, and grabbing a quick firmware update I found in the forums.
I'm hoping to build a quick class for the Motor Shield so other people can take advantage of the only one I could find at RadioShack. The next steps for the Rover itself is to setup the front button as an impact sensor. It's already setup to reverse engine, so I guess I just need to mount it better, and some how protect the button from direct force.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome, (code is attached).
