Hello everyone, as everyone here who is new to Arduino and this universe here,I would like to start and conversation about Arduino that I'll be using (trying) with connection mentioned above.
Regardless of that I have a few questions starting with :
I want to control the sewing machine control box using Arduino. Possible?
Control box is Efka AB221A
Question : Did anyone tried to do so and achieve?
Connection required are :
Data transfer according to ISO 1745.
Protocol used is IF232
Bits are : 8 bits 0 parity and 1 stop bit
Baud rate: 9600
Connector are SUB-D-9
connector have pins RxT And TxD
What im trying to do is first of course to establish the serial monitoring for Arduino so I can read wich data is sent or IS any data sent at all so i can proceed and make a data package to sent back and try to control the mashine in such a way that can be used for specific paterns of sewing. There's also already a display for that wich is provided by manufacturer and is used for making that paterns for sewing. Display is LCD graphical and probably is using a HMI wich is connected on the second SUB-D-9 connector.>>>In the end I'm trying to get info of wich data is sent when control box is a master so I can control it later when i make code for controlling it with touch display mounted on Arduino Mega<<<
I should mention that in parameters inside of the control box there's also a parameter for using control box as a master TO the second one or the slave FOR the second one.
Any suggestions how to start?? Thanks in advance
