tools. For most users this is everything they need to get started.
The MIABOT
RDK is supplied with each robot providing basic (but extensible)
motion control software. Corresponding sample code is provided
to run on the PC to control the robot (QBASIC and Visual C++).

PC
Transmitter
Each robot can be driven via the debug cable or wireless communications.
To communicate with the robot use the PC Transmitter unit which plugs
into the 9-Way RS232 port. Specify the transmitter frequency (418Mhz
or 433Mhz) to match the RX module on the robot.
A single PC transmitter can be used to communicate with multiple
robots by sending out communications packets each with a unique ID.
The software on each robot can be then tuned to only respond to commands
with the correct ID. |
