0rxa/tank_drive

Simple tank drive arduino code.

This code is made useful when uploaded to an arduino featuring a USB Host shield connected to a wireless Xbox controller.

The very same code is useful also for wired controller but you need to include the wired library.

Connect the defined pins to a double H-Bridge. Assuming the motors are facing each other connect them in order for:

• the lowest pin to drive one motor forward
• the second pin to drive one motor backwards
• the third pin to drive the other motor forward
• the fourth pin to drive the other motor backwards.

This can be achieved by good old testing or more easily by connecting:

• the first pin of the first motor to the first output of the first H-Bridge
• the second pin of the first motor to the second output of the first H-Bridge
• the first pin of the second motor to the second output of the second H-Bridge
• the second pin of the second motor to the first output of the second H-Bridge
