1. I cannot get the 3P code for RC control to work on Baby O. I can program it to do other test programs, but is there some difference I need to account for when running this code on Baby O?

Hello.

Note that now the Pololu AVR library has an OrangutanPulseIn library that makes it simple to read RC channels (it handles all of the pin-change interrupt code for you). This portion of the library isn’t yet documented in the user’s guide or command reference, but I wrote a forum thread about it that might help you learn how to use it:

Baby-O interrupts

I have a working mecanum driven robot using 2 baby-O controllers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk6nfKTvEZI I am using 3 interupts one on each port B,C&D with 3 channel mixing to give forward/back left/right and sideways motion. I would like to include a weapon to this robot. The idea is take another rc input and if above 1.8ms send an rc signal out to another controller (2ms pulses) to fire the weapon for ~300ms. Then turn off the signal (1.5ms) until the input is in the middle. Then whe…

I will be documenting it soon. If you’re having trouble with the 3pi RC code, I recommend you try the OrangutanPulseIn library functions.
