/* File: Land_Rover_Defender_Programmed_1 * Arduino with motor shield - random pattern * * Hardware: * - Arduino Uno Rev 3 ( http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardUno ) * - Arduino Motor Shield R3 ( http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoMotorShieldR3 ) * - 6V DC motor is driving the rear axle * - Micro servo (5V) is steering the car * * Configuration and Pins: * - A single 9V battery is connected to the Vin and Gnd on the * motor shield screw terminal block with an on/off switch * - The 6V drive motor has two wires, one yellow and one blue. The * blue wire is on (+) for channel A, and the yellow is (-). * - The servo steering motor has three pins, brown is ground, * red is 5V and yellow is PWM on pin 10. * * Motor Shield Pins: * D3 - (Ch A) PWM_A * D5 - TinkerKit Analog Output * D6 - TinkerKit Analog Output * D8 - (Ch B) BRK_B, set HIGH to brake, LOW to spin down * D9 - (Ch A) BRK_A, set HIGH to brake, LOW to spin down * D11 - (Ch B) PWM_B * D12 - (Ch A) DIR_A, Direction, set HIGH or LOW * D13 - (Ch B) DIR_B, Direction, set HIGH or LOW * A0 - (Ch A) SNS0, Current sensing * A1 - (Ch B) SNS1, Current sensing * A2 - TinkerKit Analog Input * A3 - TinkerKit Analog Input * *** Note for PWM_A/PWM_B: * Use analogWrite(pin,value) to generate a PWM wave. After a call * to analogWrite() the pin will generate a steady square wave of * the specified duty cycle until the next call to analogWrite() * or a call to digitalRead() or digitalWrite() on the same pin. * The frequency of the PWM signal is approximately 490 Hz. The * value is between 0 (always off) and 255 (always on). * *** Note for SNS0/SNS1: * Measure the current going through the DC motor by reading the * SNS0 and SNS1 pins. On each channel will be a voltage * proportional to the measured current, which can be read as a * normal analog input, through the function analogRead() on the * analog input A0 and A1. It is calibrated to be 3.3V when the * channel is delivering its maximum possible current (2A). * * Top Pins, Right to Left: * D0 - Not Used, RX * D1 - Not Used, TX * D2 - Not Used * D3 - PWM_A * D4 - Not Used * D5 - Not Used, TinkerKit Analog Output * D6 - Not Used, TinkerKit Analog Output * D7 - Not Used * D8 - Not Used, BRK_B * D9 - BRK_A, set LOW to free spin * D10 - PWM_S, 180 degree servo for steering * D11 - Not Used, PWM_B * D12 - DIR_A, set HIGH for foward, LOW for reverse * D13 - Not Used, DIR_B * GND - Not Used * AREF - Not Used * SDA - Not Used * SCL - Not Used * * Bottom Pins, Right to Left: * A5 - Not Used * A4 - Not Used * A3 - Not Used, TinkerKit Analog Input * A2 - Not Used, TinkerKit Analog Input * A1 - Not Used, SNS1 * A0 - SNS0, used to read current on drive motor, Ch A. * Vin - Not Used * Gnd - Not Used * Gnd - Steering servo motor ground (brown pin) * 5V - Steering servo motor power (middle or red pin) * 3.3V - Not Used * RESET - Not Used * IOREF - Not Used */ #include <Servo.h> Servo strservo;
