Cytron PS2 Shield for Arduino

Nous avons travaillé sur des solutions pour les enfants ayant des besoins spéciaux. Notre objectif est de les rendre plus mobiles, mais le parent a besoin d'une télécommande pour les guider parfois. La combinaison de la télécommande, de l’uno et du bouclier PS2 est un excellent ajout à notre conversion d’un objet sauvage Mattel en un fauteuil roulant amusant et utile.

I got this to provide wireless control via an arduino uno for a relay board to control linear actuators and control a motors speed via a digital potentiometer. The shield made it as easy to provide wireless input as it was to get wired input directly from the arduino's pins. The only part that was a little tricky was that when analog joystick data was requested when the controller wasn't attached, it would return 255, which is what one gets pulling the joystick all the way down (X axis) or to the right (Y axis). I recommend displaying data on the serial line display while debugging. Although the manual called for using Cytron's PS2 controllers, I found that generic ones I bought off eBay worked fine.

thanks.. this is good componen , great

We have been working on solutions for special needs children. Our focus is to make them more mobile but the parent needs a remote to help guide them at times. The combination of the remote, uno and PS2 shield is a great add to our conversion of a Mattel wild thing into a fun and useful wheel chair.

The best\fastest way to experiment with remote control programming for UGV on arduino. Relatively short range indoor, 20-30 meters, over 50 meter outdoor with direct LOS. This is a very good product. Hardware configuration is easy for pin assignment. Top documentation. Pins and board are really strong, no fear of accidental bending\breaking. Quality control is obvious on this product. This is my 2nd PS2 controler. Thanks robotshop for your great service\products.
