looking good!

[@ChrisLocke1969]

is that not black acrylic, just with the protective kraft paper on it?

[@arshiaabdi952]

You know that it is acrylic and that there’s just a film over it right. It’s used to protect it when they laser cut it. You just have to peel it off

[@nizamismailpaklong3533]

Hi can i ask you a quection, if i buh in online, i can install it without using a computer because i do not have a computer and i not clever about this, or he really needs to use computer to bind,tq

[@srujanwankhede5314]

thanku brother best explaination

[@KeplerElectronics]

Thank you so much! If you have any questions, just let me know, I'll do my best to answer them =)

[@srujanwankhede5314]

well I was looking for arduino uno Instead of boarduino ,so If you could just help me with the connections and some extra parts that will be great. And also you will hit millions of subscribers in future just keep posting.

[@KeplerElectronics]

Actually, I have a video on that exact subject coming within a week or two. It ended up being more complicated to figure out than this one, but it should be simple enough to follow. I’m waiting on a couple of parts to arrive, but it should be out soon. Thanks for the encouraging words! =D

[@srujanwankhede5314]

Glad to hear

[@KeplerElectronics]

In case you haven't seen it yet, the video is out now and can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXWxgaV-r7eAgs0

[@XxDarkMagicianxX]

I'm new to robotics and I'm trying to start this build but with an rc car. Is there a way to make the acceleration using the R2 trigger in the back? Please and feedback or tips would be appreciated.

[@KeplerElectronics]

I would check around online for some other examples. I believe that the website for the library may have something. If not, you can use one of the text files in the PS2X library and find the function you need to call for a button.

[@OctAngel]

Thank you for this video man! Btw I need help on trying to control servo motors using the L1 and R1 buttons on my wireless ps2 remote, I'm trying to control 6 servo motors for my robotic arm but I can't control them all because I can only control 4 total servos with the joysticks, I'm not really familiar with Arduino code so could you plz help me with a little code regarding on controlling a servo motor with the L1 and R1 buttons, this is for a project at school.

[@KeplerElectronics]

It’s been a while, but looking back through some of the library examples, it seems that if(ps2x.Button(PSB_PAD_DOWN)){ Is the format to use. Hope that helps!

[@OctAngel]

@@KeplerElectronics Thank you so much I definitely appreciate it 🙏This is the code I've written which was causing all the problems I've been using "map" for my code but all that did was just apply to joysticks. 👍RXservo.write(map(ps2x.Analog(PSS_RX), 0, 255, 0, 179)); RYservo.write(map(ps2x.Analog(PSS_RY), 0, 255, 0, 179)); LXservo.write(map(ps2x.Analog(PSS_LX), 0, 255, 0, 179)); LYservo.write(map(ps2x.Analog(PSS_LY), 0, 255, 0, 179)); L1servo.write(map(ps2x.Analog(PSB_L1), 0, 255, 0, 179));

Hoi! I’m Temmie!!!!!!!!!!!

[@slimjim301]

Since the HazardsMind link is broken, can I still do this? Or do I need that

[@KeplerElectronics]

Yep! I just wanted to credit one of the authors of the code that I used. If you want to download the code, it’s on Dropbox (also in the description).

[@SEKEDARTUTOR434]

How range of joystik?

[@KeplerElectronics]

The range is somewhere between five and ten meters. Nothing super incredible, but way more range than anyone would probably use.

[@goldenfox334]

@@KeplerElectronics you could increase this by adding in a longer antenna

[@michaelsuda229]

first comment!!!!11!!

[@michaelsuda229]

I disliked it, by accident

[@Herzfeld10]

Well ... It's cool and all but basically you bought all the pieces and assembled it... It's not a really smart and economic design. Good project tho ! For people who don't want to learn how to do electronics ..
