Spykee arrow key control

I need help controlling my spykee with arrow keys because im trying to use AVM navigator to move it around. Im using the Erector_Spykee to connect to it and control it by clicking the interface arrows with my mouse but im aiming to make the spykee controllable with arrow keys.

Thanks!

Just try to use variables "NV_L_MOTOR_128" and "NV_R_MOTOR_128" in motor control of Erector Spykee.

i tried it but then spykee started moving backwards by itself (avm wasn't enabled) he just kept moving backwards, bumping into things.

I think you should to convert values of  "NV_L_MOTOR" and "NV_R_MOTOR" ("-100 " - full power backwards, "100" - full power forwards, "0" - motor off) to convenient format for Erector_Spykee. Try to use "Scale Variable" module or "VBScript Plugin" for this purpose.

See here for example: http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?4764-Using-of-AVM-plugin-in-RoboRealm&p=47743#post47743

ah, ok but i'm really confused. it's very urgent that you can help and explain it more clearly

Okay, can you manually check values for motor control of Erector Spykee?

Which values should be set for robot control (moving forward, backward, stop)?

Well, i'm not sure since im kind of a newbie. the motor control is when i putted both of the variables you said to me but spykee kept moving backwards or kept spinning around in circles.

Okay, let's try to make it clear with this picture:

One last thing, how do i do with with my IP camera aswell (pan and tilt)

Actually, nevermind. but can you tell me how to make spykee's motors slow down because when spykee sees a moving, he tries to go there but hes going zig zag or spinning around because he has no idea where the object went.
