4.8. Example –External Communication
Controlling the actuator through external communication by the Bluetooth port.
Select [Example] - [IRROBOT_EZController] - [EZ]–[EasyControl_ExtCom]
[Description]
- Mode switch (#8) can be positioned anywhere. (Mode switch only works in the built-in basic program)
- Supply power to the input power terminal (#7). Make sure correct input voltage(7.4V or 12V) and correct
polarity.(GND and VCC)
- Carefully insert the connector suitable for the selected communication. (#14 PWM / #15 TTL / #16 RS-485)
-
(For PWM connector (#14), refer to the page 6 to make sure correct polarity.)
- There is a port (# 18) for external communication at the bottom right, and connects the device to the pin
according to the pin arrayal.
- If you press the A(B) button in the example, ‘A(B)’ is sent as an ASCII value.
- When the board receives ‘A’ as an ASCII value, the actuator moves to the A point set the same as before,
Similarly, when the ASCII value 'B' is received, the actuator moves to the set point B.
[Program Description]
On the Arduino, IO8 and IO9 pins are declared as RX
and TX respectively.
Communication data is received byte by byte through
“ExtComData_Listen ()” function.
Set baud rate of serial monitor with Serial.begin () function
Check the data which is sent and received by the
Sw_func () function and ExtComData_Func () function
on the serial monitor.
The Sw_Func () function sends ASCII code values
corresponding to A and B respectively, and the
ExtComData_Func () function moves the actuator to the
position corresponding to the received ASCII code value.
Since it is based on Bluetooth, the
communication voltage level is 3.3V.
