Hi,
I am having a little problem with my computer engineering class assignment.
Objective: My objective is to first get a remote control car, and use the remote and connect the (BACK, FORWARD, LEFT-TURN, and RIGHT TURN) and use bread-boards and parallelput to control the car with out the bottons, but commands using turing (DOS VERSION)

here is the program that i have**(which doesnt work )
________________
var n:int
loop
get n
parallelput (n)
delay (10)
end loop

/*where they put like n=1 so it sends power to parallelput 1 and it is the right turing button wire.
*******************************
I am very new to turing and i do not know how to do it. Please help me.

*My major problems
-When I connect ALL four wires (which care connected from EACH of the buttons) the car WITH OUT the program goes back wards and turns right. I have tried using 2 bread-boards, but no such luck.
Please help me, to whom ever knows this. And please tell me ANYTHING that might help.
Thx

Wow sounds quite sophisticated. I wish I could help but I never tried robotics or too any robotics-related classes. Something I'd definatly try if we had. Good luck in getting it to work though and welcome to the forum.

Sounds very complicated.

I wish I could help, but I have no experience with DOS.

some assistance is still required .
i hope someone can help me

Are you useing turing to program that?

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1925, old post ID:15796

yes, I m using OoTuring (the DOS version.)

Well i have no idea on how to do what you want to do. just let me get two things straight. 1 your use the dos turing. HOLY CR@P THATS OLD! 2 you going to make a remote control car move, using turing. How are you going to do that. I mean a car, unless it's on a screen then i can take that but a real freaken car! never new turing was that powerful.!

I've seen it done, and it's more then possible. You need to somehow load the program in a chip that goes on the car, and depending on what is done (buttons pushed etc) it will make the program return instructions to the engine etc.... and this is not a real car here (or is it? ) but a battery operated one.

that's what i mean a "remote control car" just to lazy to typ it. lol

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1925, old post ID:15823

I just say RC electric motorized vehicle. no wait, that's almost as long. LOL

lemme clear some things up
yes, I am using DOS turing. but that is the only one that can produce a parallelput, i think or maybe thats the only one my school can afford .
______
I soder some copper wire to the chip of the RC Car Remote, and then i connect (or input) them in the BREAD-BOARD. Then i write the program in DOS Turing, and I run the program.
But with the car that was provided to me by the school, I was having problems though. The Front and Right doesnt work :S.
**thats what i asked u guys to help me with.
______
Its been some time now, and I bought my own RC car, and i got a program (written by me, i m so proud of my self ) and i ran it. It worked BETTER THAN I THOUGH. It made PERFECT TURNS (SOME HOW) and i made a rectange, figure "8", figure "9", an U figure and any other figure my teacher told me 2.
IT WAS GREAT.
i got 80/80 + 6 bonus marks for getting the figure and things from the teacher ON THE SPOT and making the car do them...
now my com. eng. mark is 89 ... from a 62 from last report card . .. .

**r'nt u proud of me Red Squirrel ??? ***
THX PPL
hehe..

SO HAPPY

ttu later ppl

That's really cool! I'd like to be able to do stuff like that. How do you actually get the program on the chip? That's the part that messes me up. Not sure how it works.

Glad you got it going though.
