Hello Everyone,
I am currently working on a BB8 and trying to get it to follow a coordinate system. Currently the robot is being controlled via a Bluetooth connection to my tablet (remote control). Now I am trying to get it to follow this system so that it can be programmed to move itself through a maze. However, my research has not been successful. I have tried using the connectors from the inside of the mouse and connected it to an arduino however, it may have been damaged or otherwise not working.
What I am here to ask is how i can use an optical mouse's x and y coordinate tracking to develop a grid so that points can be programmed for the robot to follow. Once this is done I would need further assistance on another portion of this project however this is my main concern. I currently have access to different Optical mice, Arduino Unos, HC-05 Bluetooth receiver/transmitter, and should be able to get hands on anything, within reason, to help my end goal.
I appreciate any help that anyone can offer, and I will be happy to clarify any questions that you may have so that I can continue this project!
