Wondered if anyone can help me.....I am currently controlling the throttle, brake and steering of a prototype device's motor controller (the controller runs two motors - hence steering) using PWM output from my arduino mega. I now need to read the motor's rpm using serial (as far as I can see the motor controller supports RS232,RS485, CAN and TTL). I will try using TTL first as I assume this is the simplest way given that the Arduino has inbuilt support. I was wondering what the arduino code might look like to achieve this (I have no clue where to start). I have some information from the manufacturer in a screenshot attached any help would be much appreciated..thanks
Google on "Arduino + 'Your motor controller'" and see what comes up, as a beginning.
Hi thanks for your response, all I can find is details on how to build a motor controller using Arduino, I have the off the shelf controller installed and working I need to be able to talk to the controller using serial..
Try Google on just Your motor controller. It's not what everybody use for playing. For sure it's an intelligent controller with built computation of some kind.
Make sure You use the proper way of connecting it. TTL-level is okey for Arduino.
Do You have a link to the entire manual of the controller?
