The xBee - series 1 - modules take the 802.15.4 stack (the basis for Zigbee) and wrap it into a simple to use serial command set. These modules allow a very reliable and simple communication between micro controllers, computers or other systems by using just a serial port! They can commu...
In this tutorial we are going to see how to use Arduino Joystick Shield. There are different versions but we'll be using v2.4, which has some interesting features and some extra buttons which can be used in your application in different ways. In this tutorial we are going to see how to...
So you can control electronics devices such as LEDs, Motor Driver and so on using these GPIO pins. Input devices like push buttons and toggle switches can also be used to control the Raspberry Pi. How To Control and Use GPIO Pins on Raspberry Pi? This includes two steps, software on the...
Ok. On this stage we are ready to use XBee adapter that we can connect to our Raspberry Pi (hub). Windows 10 IoT Core has all needed drivers for serial communications. So, you have to use USB cable to connect XBee to your Raspberry. It’s time to think about software. Before impleme...
This page briefly describes some basic features of the Visual Micro Serial Debugger for Arduino ( also works with software serial, xbee, bluetooth etc.). The full documentation can be foundhere The Arduino program code does not need to be edited to use the Visual Micro debugging tools!
1. Go to the WebUI underConfiguration>Device Cloud>Device-Initiated Connection 2. Check the Device Cloud Server Address and ensure the address configured is correct (Example:devicecloud.digi.comordevicecloud-uk.digi.com). 3. Ensure the "Automatically reconnect" box is checked (use the device'...
We use the --log option to specify that the awusbmanager process log should be written to the standard syslog. If this is not explicitly specified, the awusb.log log file will be created in the /root/.AnywhereUSB directory. We use the --autofind-off option to disable unnecessary network...
Jon Titus shares his views on the mbed computer that provides an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller and I/O connections for serial, I 2C, SPI, CAN, PWM, Ethernet ports, along with analog I/O signals. The mbed module takes advantage of an online C/C++ compiler and extensive libraries as ...
to one coil of the motor and the 2A and 2B pins to the other coil of the motor. For powering the motor we use the next 2 pins, Ground and VMOT that we need to connect them to Power Supply from 8 to 35 V and also we need to use decoupling capacitor with at least 47 µF...
The first bit of robot code I'd like to focus on is the compass. Now, I've not detailed how to use the HMC5883L, since SparkFun has done this for me. I also won't go into tilt-compensation, since I was more worried about proving the concept here than dead-on accuracy. But if...
