At the moment I am busy wiith some ‘refactoring’ of the code to make the KittenBot meowbit and their mecanum bot work together.

It is on-going as I stumbled into issues with the pxt-sdwireless they have, like not recieving successive messages (on which their protocol was based).

I am using Arcade with the edge connector extension to communicate with the Robotbit. It is not very advanced stuff, just a lot of changes to code are needed to make this work properly. At the moment this has to wait until weekends.

Note: much of this is related to the work I also did to get the code from the yahboom mecanum to work with the KittenBot JoyFrog controller.
