Arduino Open Source X-PID firmware incl.360°option

[jeroen]

Hi there,

I have a arduino uno r3 and a polulu dual 14a (md03a). Should this setup work?

Connected it all... but no life in the motor controller.

Uploaded the firmware in the arduino... all works with the pots in x-sim.

I am sure I have connected it all the right way. Checked in the firmware for the pins.

Motor controller works fine with amc 1.5.

Any suggestions?

hellow

I want use this firmware but my Motor driver is not l298

l296 table is
　
IN1=H, IN2=L
forward
IN1=L, IN2=H
backward
　
IN1 = IN2
break
ENA=L
break

but my driver is

ENA = L
Idle
ENA=H, DIR(IN1)=don't care, STOP(IN2)=H, PWM
break
ENA=H, DIR(IN1)=H, STOP(IN2)=L, PWM=H
forward
ENA=H, DIR(IN1)=L, STOP(IN2)=L, PWM=H
backward

how to apply this driver in firmware ?

Hi Sirnoname, I'm using your firmware but I want to upgrade my simulator to a 3dof with traction loss. Can I use a second arduino with your firmware with one hbridge to control the third motor?? I'll only use one of the new axis and left the other without use. My idea is assign the yaw effect to the third axis to get the traction loss effect.

Thanks in advance

yes you can....i used 2 arduinos for 4 motors....no matter if you use only 1 axe on an arduino ! you will nead only a second USB port available on your PC

Ok, thanks for your answer.

Someone PLEASE help, complete noob learning slowly. Here is a picture of my setup before sim build. wired everything direct pin 1 to pin1 etc... pots work perfect in X-Sim 0 to 1023 but I can't get any power to the motors. 1050W power supply, both motors tested working with direct power.

You connected it Like shield pin1 to 1, Pin 2 to 2?
Thats wrong this is working for racing mats Firmware you have to change the Pins look into Arduino Code.

Thanks,I got it working and already upgraded to 24v wheelchair motors. Will post pics when done.

Hi everybody and thanks sirnoname for this great work! I'm building myself a G-seat based on wiper motors, your x-sim plugin and arduino firmware:
http://x-sim.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=1310

I'm trying to use the arduino UNO R3 coupled with this shield:
http://www.elechouse.com/elechouse/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=100_146&products_id=2179

According its documentation, the control works like this:

• Rotate forward: EN = HIGH, RPWM = PWM, LPWM = HIGH, DIS = vacant
• Rotate reverse: EN = HIGH, RPWM = HIGH, LPWM = PWM, DIS = vacant
• Stop and brake: EN = HIGH, RPWM = HIGH, LPWM = HIGH, DIS = vacant
• Stop but not brake: EN = 0, RPWM = HIGH, LPWM = HIGH, DIS = vacant
• Prohibit : EN = X, RPWM = X, LPWM = X, DIS = HIGH

For Arduino users:
Channel - Driver Module - Arduino Pin
A - EN - 2
A - RPWM - 3
A - DIS - 4
A - LPWM - 5
B - EN - 8
B - RPWM - 9
B - DIS - 7
B - LPWM - 6

I tried to understand your code as best as I could and changed the pinouts to this:

int portdstatus =PORTD; // read the current port D bit mask
int ControlPinM1Inp1 =3; // (was 2) motor 1 INP1 output, this is the arduino pin description
int ControlPinM1Inp2 =5; // (was 3) motor 1 INP2 output, this is the arduino pin description
int ControlPinM2Inp1 =9; // (was 4) motor 2 INP1 output, this is the arduino pin description
int ControlPinM2Inp2 =6; // (was 5) motor 2 INP2 output, this is the arduino pin description
int PWMPinM1 =2; // (was 10) motor 1 PWM output
int PWMPinM2 =8; // (was 9) motor 2 PWM output

The feedback works fine, but the motor only turns in one direction! Did I miss something?
I am a real beginner, and tried to read through the posts in this forum, but am stuck at this point.
I am greatful for any help!!!

I gave up on changing the code and just wired the motor controller to the original pins without using it as an arduino shield. Now everything works!
