Here are a few helpful links that might help answer any question you may still have regarding the Wireless Joystick:
For more information about using the wireless joystick with the RedBot mainboard, check out the tutorial below. The following offers an alternative example that sends one character to control a robot as opposed to sending an array to the serial controlled motor driver.
Wireless RC Robot with Arduino and XBees
In this tutorial, we will expand on the SIK for RedBot to control the robot wirelessly with XBee radios! We'll explore a different microcontroller and wirelessly control the RedBot at a distance.
Now that you've got the Wireless Joystick working, what are you going to use it for? Need some inspiration, check out the tutorials below!
SparkFun Line Follower Array Hookup Guide
Learn how to connect the RedBot Line-Following Sensor Bar to an Arduino-type microcontroller. Use the example sketches to read data from the bar, and try out a simple line-following algorithm.
Ardumoto Kit Hookup Guide
Learn how to assemble and drive DC motors using the v2.0 Ardumoto Shield.
Wireless Remote Control with micro:bit
In this tutorial, we will utilize the MakeCode radio blocks to have the one micro:bit transmit a signal to a receiving micro:bit on the same channel. Eventually, we will control a micro:bot wirelessly using parts from the arcade:kit!
