CPID
C++ based serial interfacing with Arduino for PID control
CPID is a C++ program that controls and reads data from an Arduino through a serial connection and a simple ncurses interface.
The native analog to digital resolution of the Arduino is improved to 15 bits using an ADS1115
4 channel 16 bit analog to digital converter. PID constants are defined in PID.ino. The setpoint can
be changed by keying s with the interface open.
The ADS1115 uses SDA/SCL to communicate with the Arduino. This particular instance uses pins 8 and 3 to control the respective direction (DIR) and PWM (PWMH) signals for a VNH5019 motor driver carrier.
Installation
Unpack contents and type make. Use the Arduino software to upload PID.ino to the board over USB.
Dependencies
