in thise piece of code you can set two variable with you android app. Thanks for the explanation! The app works superbly!!! THANKS AGAIN  I've set it to control a servo (which will be connected to a dimmer). I'm sharing the code below just in case anyone else wishes to control a servo with the app. The relays/switches part of the code below is still incomplete, but the servo part works perfectly. I've also applied the code change to allow 2-digit codes, so make sure they are all 01, 02, 03 in your android app settings. Currently you have 2 buttons "dimmer down" (04) and "dimmer up" (14) that you can use to move the servo by a pre-defined angle. It also disconnects the servo after 1 second of no command, to avoid unnecessary current draw/vibrations, and also let it be freely moveable to allow manual control of the dimmer. I've not changed anything in the checkClient() function. Next, i'll be adding an IR control /************ Marque's Arduino Controller Example ************/

In the android app settingsscreen you can set up you IP and port.
For this example you need to call prefix 1 "B" and prefix 2 "C".

SUPERB!! Thank you Marque!!! This is just what I needed. I just started on my room-automation project today, so I'm sure I'll come up with some suggestions soon enough I tried rating the app, but unfortunately i don't have a Google+ account as yet -- will get around to that soon! Thanks, R PS - Though I've made some changes and its working great, i have no clue what the following code does. Could you please explain it to me in just a brief overview sentence or two? Thanks! {readString.concat(c);}
if (c == 'H')
{
Serial.println();
int Is = readString.indexOf("/");
int Iq = readString.indexOf("?");
int Ib = readString.indexOf("b");
int Ic = readString.indexOf("c");
if(readString.indexOf("?") > 1)
{
if (Ib == (Iq+1))
{
char carray[5];
readString.toCharArray( carray,5,(Ib+1));
Serial.println(carray);
valueB = atof(carray);
Serial.print("B is now: ");
Serial.println(valueB);
client.print (content_main_top);
client.print("B is now: ");
client.print(valueB);
}
else if (Ic == (Iq+1))
{
char carray[5];
readString.toCharArray( carray,5,(Ic+1));
Serial.println(carray);
valueC = atof(carray);
Serial.print("C is now: ");
Serial.println(valueC);
client.print (content_main_top);

Forum 2005-2010 (read only) / Troubleshooting / Re: 168 Programmer not responding
|

Ya, I have the same problem. I tried burning the bootloader to a 168 with the microcontroller option set to 8 and it just returned a bunch of errors (no surprise). Do I need a new hex file or something? Amsmnptarks, I am an absolute newbie, and havent successfully flashed a microcontroller yet (which i am desperately tryng to! (atmel168)) But heres the little i know with regards to your question - Yes, you DO need a different .hex file. Secondly, i dont think you can just use the arduino IDE to flash a 168 on the 8 setting because of "fuses". (Fuses are the little settings on the chip "the closest thing a microcontroller has to a config file") eg. They enable you to select whether the chip uses an external oscillator or the internal oscillator. And my clueless guess is that they are at different memory addresses on different chips (atmega8 vs 168). Hence..you cannot fool the IDE to put a bootloader onto the 168 instead of the 8 just by replacing the .hex file. Heres a really useful site which has helped me understand this a lot better - http://wolfpaulus.com/journal/embedded/arduino2.html - it also has a link to the .hex file for the 168. cya R |

thanks for the fast reply! Most of the AVR-ISP's I found looked much more expensive than buidling the parallelprogrammer so I think I'll take that route. My (first of many) question is will the ICSP pins on the USB board still work with the 168? If not, can I just put it on a bread board and wire it up to the correct pins myself? Hopefully that's it. Thanks again! Oh, but wait! I tried doing this day before, but as soon as i switched the setting in the IDE from atmega8 to atmega168, the options for bootloading the chip (via programmer or Parallel port interface) both got greyed out!! What am i missing? Thanks, R |

kzwin,
I assume you have physically replaced the atmega8 with the atmega168 chip on your arduino board, and then selected the atmega168 in the IDE and are still having problems.
Q: Have you just bought the atmega168 from an online website? (in which case it will NOT have the arduino bootloader on it, which is essential).
Getting the bootloader on the chip is a painful and/or expensive thing to do for beginners. I would suggest you buy a pre-bootloaded 168, you will find some links on the forum

a modded hitec hs-300 servo motor, and while it delivers continuous rotation and accurate enough positioning, the speed control is quite limited.
Hey, Sadly i dont have any more suggestions than Daniel - a stepper or a rotary encoder seem to be your best bets. Perhaps you can tell us a little more about the application, and we could suggest a better system (for eg. putting a rotary encoder on the object the motor is turning instead of on the motor driveshaft) Also, could you please give me some more information as to how the servo was hacked...the more detailed the better! thanks, R |

Hi, I am really keen on buying an arduino as well (probably the mini), but i am considering sacrificing size and weight in order to be able to flash it via bluetooth as the controller will probably be within a flying object...  As per this thread >> http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1165363464 (reply #4) The whereabouts of the elusive arduinoBT should have been a little clearer quite some time ago... ? I was just hoping that the Forum Admin could give us a little more information on - 1. Size of the board 2. # of Analog In pins 3. # of PWM pins 4. Will the board be able to send serial out to the computer / recieve from the computer while the program is running? 5. Rough date of availability 6. Rough pricing / pricerange? Thanks a lot! cya R |

Hi Nabisco,
I am a newbie myself, but since you havent got any replies i will try and give you an answer....(should be fairly true i hope!)
From what i know, any sensor should work with any microcontroller (ie its not like a mac program wont run on a PC).
All sensors usually output in one or the other common forms such as resistive output, analog voltage out, digital out, serial out etc etc
If you need more specific clarification you could post a link to the exact sensor/part you are talking about...

Thanks a ton guys, @brainfart - i am starting off by putting a gyro on a cheap heli and modulating the tailrotor to keep it from yawing - ( http://www.ehirobo.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=3307) and then will proceed to add on things from there. @Daniel - Thanks for the info. Good point on the low dropout voltage regulator! thnx. I have a stupid Q regarding the crystal (see #6 below) @Neilzero - Thanks for that page. It REALLY helped me get a better understanding of most of the concepts of standalone atmega, and a lot of the links on the page were useful too! Here are a few more Qs i had - 6. Heres the stupid Q - if i use the atmega's internal crystal/oscillator, which i have read is equivalent to 1Mhz, would that mean my atmega will be running at 1/16th the speed compared to if i used an external 16MHz crystal? (So in a sense a 16MHz external cryztal is "overclocking" it?) 7. Mellis mentioned that you can use a Wiring board (which i have) as an AVR-ISP ( http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1158265039/5) Where could i find info on that ? 8. If i program the atmega168 via wiring board, will it be able to put a bootloader on as well as upload the program i write? or will it only do the bootloader and i will have to put it in my arduinoNG to upload the program ? 9. Any useful links of people using gyros with their own microcontrollers in helicopters? or for anything else? 10. Would i be correct to assume that a gryo will only show a rate of change if there is rotational movement about its axis, and not if it is moved around on a horizontal plane without any rotation? And also, if you guys could help with Q1 & 2 from the original post Once i have that figured i will buy my mini! (also would like to buy one of these!! > http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1167665675) Thanks a lot, Really appreciate the help, RB |

|
on: January 05, 2007, 03:43:48 pm

Hi there, Im planning to use an arduino mini on a RC helicopter. 1. Would it be possible to run the mini power from a 7.2V battery pack to the +9V of the mini ? 2. Would the arduino mini then output a regulated +5v at any pin so i can run a 5v sensor? (possibly the +5v pin at the top or bottom??)  Also, on another note, 3. if i buy an arduinoNG and flash the program to it, then remove the atmega8 chip can i just connect the corresponding pins as i would the arduinoNG pins ? (ie no need for any other hardware / ?bootloader? etc etc) 4. Does the standalone ATmega8 need exactly 5v to run? 5. And, finally, does just the standalone atmega8 have the ability to convert 7.2V to 5v ? (unlikely eh) Thanks a lot, cya R |
