First timer...building a remote controlled vehicle

.n0rig.,

As much as I love to help, I'm a bit short on time this week. It looks like you're heading in the right direction. My only advice to you at this point is to put something together and try it. The worse case is it won't work - you're not going to blow anything up. Just make darn sure there are no shorts between the positive and negative power leads and that you don't switch the two going into your ICs before you apply power - those have been my biggest problems (thumping head against wall). Once you've put something together and tried out some code, let us know what you've done, where you're stuck and we'll do our best to help. Good luck!

I can't get the chips to communicate...

Try it without the transmitter, use a wired connection for trouble shooting.

Post the non-working code!
