Dear Mach_07,
For one of my projects I am trying to run 9 servos on a shield, controlled by a controller that runs on the HC-05 Bluetooth module.
I am quite the beginner in terms of Arduino, so I was wondering if you could help me out with this.
What I'd like to achieve is to have 2 robotic arms which each have 4 degrees of freedom (8 servos), and a camera that can monitor it all and can be tilted (1 servo).
I started the sketch with defining all the integers, allocating the servos and next writing all the initial angles and setting the servo shield frequency and serial connection baud.
In the loop I first read the serial Bluetooth (if available) and parse the readings.
Afterwards, I loop for every servo and i (in range 0 to 4096), and tell the Arduino to have a constantly high PWM signal (so it can process the Bluetooth inputs for the full time).
Depending on the Bluetooth inputs, I tell the Arduino to move the servos based on the servo allocation done prior.
Currently the problem is that it's not moving at all.
I think it has something to do with servo allocation, for instance if you open the PWM Servo Test sketch provided by Arduino, they don't do servo allocation at all and the servos still move as desired.
Though I think this is different for when you need to process Bluetooth inputs.
I hope you could share your thoughts with me!
Thanks in advance,
Menno
