EZ Controller User Manual_EN_V.2.0 4 Example - Actuator Control through Arduino IDE Actuator control via the Arduino IDE's data communication protocol (RS-485 or TTL). This is for the advanced users of Arduino who want to control actuators more freely through data communication of Arduino. 4.1 Overview Here are Arduino examples to control mightyZAP through EZ Controller. The examples are for serial data communication (TTL or RS-485 communication) and do not support PWM communication.
EZ Controller User Manual_EN_V.2.0 - [Program Description] Example of setting two points with the value of a variable resistor and moving them to the corresponding point when the buttons of A and B are pressed. Mapping for PWM value Short : 900 Long : 2100 Read the variable resistor values of Position A and Position B and assign values to “A_stroke_val” and “B_stroke_val” variables respectively. The map () function maps the variable resistor's resistor value to the actuator's position range.
