Connections and PID #7

Closed bekirbostanci closed 4 years ago

bekirbostanci commented 4 years ago

Hi How can i connect arduino and hoverboard mainboard or nano and hoverboard mainboard. Which port should I use? Also did you have any problem about the motor controls. Do the motors work correctly? or is it necessary to use a pid? for example rotating at equal speeds

Thank you for answers

Hey,

I'm using USART2.

Motors work correctly without PID control (at least with no load), but then your changes are instant -- not something you want for a mobile platform. I don't see any reason to avoid using PID, it helps a lot in fine tuning the motion.

thank you for answer but I wanted to learn, there are 2 different tx rx pins on the mainboard, I don't know which one to use. I couldn't see a diagram about it either. thank you so much for your answer again

Check the firmware repo, it has a picture -- https://github.com/bipropellant/bipropellant-hoverboard-firmware USART2 is on the left.
