Chapter 11. Remote Control
This chapter describes how to remotely control robot movement. Techniques for sending Serial commands as well as TV type infrared remote control are both explained. The example sketches enable you to command the robot to perform any of the higher level drive functions described in Chapter 7.
Hardware Required
The TV remote control sketch requires an infrared decoder module. TSOP4838 (or the equivalent PNA4602) modules (Figure 11-1) have power and signal pins oriented to enable them to plug directly into the socket on the motor shield.
You will also need an infrared remote control—almost any controller from a TV or DVD player will do.
