Features are to be used on the Serial Monitor on Arduino.
The format of commands below keep to the following.
| ℹ️ | Words in UPPER_CASE are parameters. |
|---|
Move all actuators to the same absolute position.
POS will be parsed and converted to a value, following the table below.
It can interpreted as a percentage automatically.
maxEncVal was empirically determined to be 50000.
| POS | Parsed as |
|---|---|
POS < 0 |
0 |
0 <= POS <= 100 |
POS * maxEncVal / 100 |
100 <POS<= maxEncVal |
POS |
POS > maxEncVal |
maxEncVal |
Format: m POS
Example: m 500
Move chosen actuator to desired position
Format: {a/b/c} 500
Example: b 500
Test predefined movement of the effector. This can be used to determine actuators A, B & C.
Format: t
Calibrate position and value of encoders. The value will be 0 at the lowest position.
Format: r
View help text - all commands as listed on this document - on the Serial monitor.
