Robot Trouble

Question

For the past few months I have been working on a robot. I need some advice to make a remote control robot. I am using a L293D as the motor driver wired to my Arduino UNO . I can not find a code for a IR remote control robot. So I was thinking. Maybe the best choice would be to use a nRF24L01? I could just wirelessly control my robot with another Arduino or raspberry PI. If you could find a code for either the nRF24L01 or a IR remote I would be much obliged.

Assuming you know how to control the Motors already (You don't say you have an issue with that), then all you need to do is adapt any of the readily available IR remote control sketches out there. The only difference would typically be calling your movement routines instead of whatever the specific IR sample does.

Have you tried any sample IR applications ?

Do you have code that drives the motors already ?

Do you understand each of the above, if so then try to adapt them and combine into one app. Show us what you have and well help you with issues,

Also, even a trivial google search for " arduino ir remote control robot " takes me immediately to this and even uses the same motor driver chip

ARDUINO based IR remote control robot

It's the very first answer !.

Everyone here is happy to help but please help yourself first with a little research at least !!.

Did you look at the complete IR controlled Arduino Robot I linked ?
