THE PLAN IS TO USE MY FABDUINO TO BOTH INPUT AND OUTPUTS, AND TRY TO MAKE A MOTOR SHIELD WITH NEILS H-BRIDGE SCHEMATICS. AFTER AN HOUR OF OFFICE HOUR WITH BRIAN I HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW TO START.
NOTES:
remake fabduino, check to see vcc and gnd gets 0.L before soldering.
connect to laptop with ftdi, find the 6 isp pins (miso..) and connect to isp usb tiny
choose mega 328 board, programmer isp, and burn boot loader to use as normal arduino
connect mindflex to arduino while using ftdi for laptop communication:
use software serial since hardware serial(ftdi) is being used for communication
include
designate pin for rx through SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX
map out arduino pins to fabduino (RX is digital pin 10= pb2=pin3 on fabduino)
ground to gnd pin
FIGURE OUT CORRESPONDING PINS ON ARDUINO AND MEGA
connect ada fruit motor shield to fabduino:
SDA & SCL in addition to the power pins GND & 5V
sda=pc4=7=4th pin blue
scl=pc5=8=3rd pin purple
to make own motor shield: use hello.H-bridge.44.png board and chip, connect in1 and in2 to two pins on fabduino, connect vref(vcc) and gnd
vbb to motor and gnd. add
use geared dc motors
can just connect to power cable for constant spinning
to program the lever moving in an angle use switch and timer: hits switch changes direction for 10 secs. speed depends on voltage
SO ILL BE USING TWO MOTORS, ONE TO DRIVE A CHISEL THAT I HAD WELDED TO A THREADED ROD THAT WILL SCREW INTO A L SHAPED SOCKET THAT I SECURED ON THE MOTOR SHAFT. (SUPER SKETCHY MACHINE DESIGN)
