I'm using a microcontroller and a motorcontrol IC to drive the motor directly. I'm not emulating the Xmod's remote at all. I actually removed the original circuit board all together. I hope to make replacement circuit boards soon that I can just drop straight in and look very professional rather than the mess of wire you see in the vid.

Right now, the logic that I have in place says something like if you are close to something, slow to 1/2 speed and turn a little. If you are even closer, then stop, backup, turn a little, and then take a new distance reading and figure out what to do next. It has a long way to go to be really nice, but I do have the basics down (controlling fwd/reverse and left/right/center).
