Hey.
I have makeblock Orion and Me Encoder Motor.
I downloaded the Arduino IDE (I used versions 1.6.9 and 1.8.8 - latest) in it I chose the Arduino UNO / Genuino device, and the corresponding COM port.
http://learn.makeblock.com/api-documentation-of-me-encoder-motor/
2 motors are connected to Me Encoder motor and Me Encoder Motor itself is connected to makeblock Orion to red port # 1. And all this is fixed on a platform with wheels.
With the Arduino code, I’m trying to control the motors.
- API Documentation of Me Encoder Motor is not written correctly. There all methods are written with a capital letter, but actually in Makeblock library method names begin with a small letter, if you write them as it is written in the documentation, there will be a compilation error.
- I don’t understand what move (), moveTo () methods do. Please explain what they are doing.
And what is the difference between relative and absolute angles?
I tried using this code:
///
#include <MeOrion.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Wire.h>
MeEncoderMotor motor1(0x09, SLOT1);
MeEncoderMotor motor2(0x09, SLOT2);
void setup()
{
motor1.begin();
motor2.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
motor1.move(360, 100);
motor2.move(360, 100);
delay(10000);
}
And the wheels turned half a turn, so each wheel turned 180 degrees around its axis.
Then I use this code:
#include <MeOrion.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Wire.h>
MeEncoderMotor motor1(0x09, SLOT1);
MeEncoderMotor motor2(0x09, SLOT2);
void setup()
{
motor1.begin();
motor2.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
motor1.move(360*4, 100);
motor2.move(360*4, 100);
delay(10000);
}
And each wheel turned 2 full turns, i.e. 720 degrees.
Then I used this code:
#include <MeOrion.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Wire.h>
MeEncoderMotor motor1(0x09, SLOT1);
MeEncoderMotor motor2(0x09, SLOT2);
void setup()
{
motor1.begin();
motor2.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
motor1.move(360*10, 100);
motor2.move(360*10, 100);
delay(10000);
}
And the wheels were spinning nonstop.
How does an argument with degrees in move() and moveTo () metadata work at all? What do these degrees do?
