Robot architecture

• Mechnical
• Serve
• ASV-15
• 工作電壓：4.5〜6V，電流消耗：空載300毫安失速時600毫安，驅動扭矩：1.6kgf厘米（在5V）
• 速度：0.125sec / 60°（在5V），齒輪：塑膠，電機：Koado直流電機，旋轉角度：160度（A型）140度（B型）
• 脈衝寬度：500〜2100uS（A型）750〜1850uS（B型）的中心位置1300uS * 1，
• 尺寸：23.8x11.8x20.8毫米，重量：9克，線路類型：橙色：信號，紅色：電源+，茶：GND
• * 1：由於我請注意不像一個典型的RC伺服的中心位置（往往是脈衝寬度1500uS =中心位置）。

 

 

• ES08-MD[ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EDGMRDU ] is available in many countries and has almost the same dimensions.

TCCR1A =

_BV(WGM11) | _BV(WGM10) | // 10bit高速PWM動作に設定

_BV(COM1A1) | _BV(COM1A0) | // 比較一致でOC1AをHIGHレベルに出力

_BV(COM1B1) | _BV(COM1B0) | // 比較一致でOC1BをHIGHレベルに出力

_BV(COM1C1) | _BV(COM1C0); // 比較一致でOC1CをHIGHレベルに出力

 

TCCR1B =

_BV(WGM12) | // 10bit高速PWM動作に設定

_BV(CS11) | _BV(CS10); // 前置分周64に設定

 

TIFR1 = _BV(OCF1A) | _BV(OCF1B) | _BV(OCF1C) | _BV(TOV1); // 割り込みフラグをクリア

 

 

/*

Execution timing is when TCNT1 overflows.

In the case of PLEN2, and multiplying the periphery 64 minutes to 16 [MHz], and because it uses a counter 10bit,

(16,000,000 / (64 * 1024)) ^ - 1 * 1,000 = 4.096 it will be interrupted every [msec].

 

This value of 4.096 [msec] is, to the PWM signal permissible input interval of the servo motor

It is a sufficiently small value. Therefore, once every interruption 8 times for each servo motor

Enter the PWM signal, by switching the output destination of the servomotor for each interrupt,

We have realized the control of a plurality of servo motors.

 

attention

Variable to be changed internally, it is safe to basically put a volatile qualifier.

By optimization of the compiler, you can prevent a confusing bug.

 

Since the output of the PWM signal is controlled by a double buffered by the AVR microcontroller,

The output value of the PWM signal you need to look ahead one than the referenced joint value.

Failure to this operation, since the plurality of servo motor control to an unintended behavior,

Please pay attention.

Reference

• Atmega32u4 datasheet

• UART 命令與解析在 PurserCombinator

 

Study how EEPROM be used

• MotionController::setHeader, setFrame
• exteeprom.writeSlot
• Wire.beginTransmission(slave_address);
• Wire.write((byte)(data_address >> 8)); // High側アドレスを指定
• Wire.write((byte)(data_address & 0x00ff)); // Low側アドレスを指定
• for (int index = 0; index < write_size; index++)
• {
• Wire.write(data[index]);
• }
• int ret = Wire.endTransmission();

 

• MotionController::play, loadNextFrame, dump
• MotionController::getHeader
• exteeprom.readSlot
• Wire.beginTransmission(slave_address);
• Wire.write((byte)(data_address >> 8)); // High側アドレスを指定
• Wire.write((byte)(data_address & 0x00ff)); // Low側アドレスを指定
• int ret = Wire.endTransmission();
• if (ret == 0)
• {
• ret = Wire.requestFrom(slave_address, read_size);
• if (ret == read_size)
• {
• for (int index = 0; index < read_size; index++)
• {
• data[index] = Wire.read();
• }
• }
• ....
• }

Study control server

• python code 來根據 usb/bt 連上 device, 使用 Python web framework 來跟 browser 溝通（開啟 local port）
• python code
• 關節代號在 device_map.json
• Command line 參數在 server.py

 

• Bottle: Python Web Framework
• server.py
• from bottle import Bottle
• server = Bottle()
• def main(args):
• json.load(device_map.json)
• if usb -> driver = USBDriver.Core(DEVICE_MAP)
• server.run(host = 'localhost', port = args.port)

 

• driver/usb/core.py
• def connect(self):
• 找一些預定的 /dev/xxx, 然後連上
• def install(self, json): => 似乎只有安裝 frames
• 命令格式
• core.py
