I'm wondering if someone in this forum can help me. I posted this on the RoboRealm forum too, but haven't received a solution. I'm trying to control the SRV-1 motors using VB Script and some blob tracking. I was getting very unpredictable behavior. The motors didn't seem to spin the direction I thought they should. So I simply loaded the SRV-1b module, by itself, in RR. I made sure no variable was selected for the motors and tried controlling them with the sliders. For some reason, it doesn't matter whether I move the slider left (lower value - reverse) or right (higher value - forward), the motors spin the same direction. Sometimes it goes forward in both slider directions, sometimes reverse. So, this seem to explain why I couldn't control the motors properly with VB script....no matter what motor value I send, the motors spin the same direction. The motors function properly when using the arrow keys on the SRV-1 RR module...in other words, I think the robot is working properly, but I can't seem to get this feature of RR for control of the SRV-1 working properly. Anyone else observe this with their SRV-1? Any ideas? The RoboRealm guys said they could not replicate this, but it is definitely happening. Maybe some strange combination of RR version and my Blackfin firmware. I'm using ##Version - SRV-1 Blackfin - 10:49:01 - Nov 21 2008 (stereo slave) and 1.8.23.31 of RR. Any ideas on a way to bypass the motor control of RoboRealm...just use it's image processing and maybe control the motors via a VB script? Looking for something that is relatively straightforward. The SRV and RR are both very new to me. Thanks...Win
