Not Heroin

Kudos

Originally Designed, built and programmed by Nick Mosher (@nicholastmosher). He wrote a long, detailed blog post about building it.

Kudos is a 4 wheeled robot controlled by an Xbox controller. The system is built using Arduino as the main control.

Currently uses the Kudos360 code to control it.

How to Use it

• First turn on the battery pack in the clear housing. This will power the Arduino and its components.
• Power up and pair the Xbox controller. You should see the controller displaying as player one when paired.
• Flip the black reset switch on the front left corner of the frame. This powers on the motors.
• Have fun. Try not to blast any shins.

Xbox Controller

Currently Kudos requires the use of an Xbox 360 wireless controller.

Q: Can I use a wired Xbox 360 Controller?

A: Not currently. In the current configuration a wired controller pulls too much power from the system due to a broken voltage regulator on the Arduino.

Q: Can I use an Xbox One Controller?

A: Not currently. We use Xbox 360 specific packages.
