Add GPS/PARSE to 8xSERVO-MOTOR CODE in Oshonsoft

Sort by date Sort by votes
Hi M and S,
A quick note before I try the latest CODE!
When running normally, the SERVOS won't be moving forward/reverse, but when an instruction arrives from the CONTROL. I've been trying to remove the FOR/REV section, but getting mixed up, also, when sending a test number does the 'DIR' need to be also sent?

The 'stutter' looks like the normal SERVO movement, but each step has a pause, depending on what I add to the WAIT 1 LOOP.

Hi M and S,
I tried the #236 CODE, but there were a few 'none compile' erros. I tried changing some, but no good. (marked '<<<<<<<<<<<<<<) The Leds flash but no SERVO movement.
Check [ getmsflag ] and [getms]

I tried both methods of copy and paste, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to keep the indents and good CODE :(

I've made a call to getMS as I suspect it's never updated.

To change the servo positions, remove all the code from the wait 1 loop and replace it with just setting servoPos to whatever is required and the servo should move to the desired position. Dir can be simply deleted.

Hi M,
I added: Dim getmsflag As Byte

and
-------------------------------------
tickLED = getMS
rled = Not rled
Endif

Serout PORTB.0, 9600, "R= ", buff(4), CrLf

Wend
End
-----------------------------------------------
Sim looks ok
'live' no LEDs and no SERVO movement.

I'll look a bit closer tomorrow,

That should be readMsFlag which is already defined as a bit and needs changing in the ISR.
Code: 
    If PIR1.TMR2IF Then                    'Is it a timer 2 interrupt
        readMsFlag=1                            'make any read invalid
        Cnt = Cnt + 1                        'Increment count
        ms=ms+1                                'increment milliSecond
        If Cnt >= 5 Then                    'Has 5mS passed without a byte being received
            isDone=0
            strCount=0
            cnt=0
        Endif
        PIR1.TMR2IF = 0
    Endif

and
-------------------------------------
tickLED = getMS
rled = Not rled
Endif
Isn't this how it already is? Except for spacing and capitalization.

The serial out should use the ISR routine not the built in soft serial.

Note, the line Serout PORTB.0, 9600, "R= ", buff(4), CrLf will be executed repeatedly and take 6mS to run which will stop all other things working. Does the code work without this line?

The flashing LED code is to demonstrate how to call something after a preset time.

Hi M,

Yes apart from the SEROUT.

Removed DIM and changed [readMsFlag]

I used the SEROUT, to place something in the WAIT 1 LOOP, as test to see the effects of added time, in the LOOP. This is how I'm used to programming.
The flashing LED code is to demonstrate how to call something after a preset time.
This is complicated for me to see how it works, without hours of looking through it.
It may be true that I will be unable to CODE correctly enough for this type of CODE.

Results from the 'corrected' test. Same: No LED flash, and no SERVO move. (This could be my end? but the original CODE works as usual.

Are the servos "stiff" I.E. won't move, if so it shows that the pulses are being generated (by the ISR) but the position isn't being updated.

Try changing these two lines to,
If (ms.LB - tick) >= 20 Then
and,
if (getMS-tickLED)>=500 then

Note, the change is just to the comparison I.E. = to >=.

If you want something to happen every 1 second (1000mS) then you would do,
Note, second bit of code,
Code: 
    if (getMS-tickLED)>=500 then            'note cannot be more than 65535 (65 seconds!!!!)
        'this code executed every 500mS which is 1Hz
        tickLED=getMS
        rLED=not rLED
    endif
    if (getMS-tickSomething)>=1000 then  'this is added after the LED code
        tickSomething=getMS
        'this will get executed every second
    endif
Obviously, tickSomething will need to be defined as a word.
If you wish to add other things then you'll need a new word variable and repeat the above code with 1000 changed to the time in mS.

I'm assuming that getMS will be a word variable after the call to getMS.

Hi M,
Changed the 2x lines.
Same result, 'live' no LEDS no SERVO move.

SERVOS free.

Hi M,
#254 test.
Same result, No Leds, SERVOs free.

If we go back to this CODE:
18F4431 32MHz XTL PCB9 REMOTE_SLAVE GPS_SERVO 190423 0900

Which fills the BUFFER with GPS DATA (In SIM so should work) and moves the SERVOs.
I have now removed all CODE from the WAIT 1 LOOP, and added a SEROUT ( I expect timing consequences} also a ServoPos(0) =(Between 2000 and 4000)
I get the LEDS flash and the SERVOs are stiff, but don't change with the change of number.

If we work through this CODE and change as little as possible, I can perhaps follow.

What flashing are the LEDs doing? Is it just the startup flashing or are you seeing the 1Hz flash?
The servos being stiff means they are getting pulses but are not moving because the value of servoPos(0) isn't changing but staying as 2000.

I'll have another check in the morning, try to figure out what's wrong.

Hi M,
#255 CODE:
I understand why the SERVOS are stiff, and with this CODE they are, but trying different 'servoPos(0)' numbers doesn't move them.

The LEDs flash at START and the WAITMS 1 LOOP LEDS, only

The serial out should use the ISR routine not the built in soft serial.
How can I see what is output?

Hi M,
#255 CODE
I was at the wrong end of the SERVO PINS, so was setting servoPos(0) instead of servoPos(7).
Now they move and hold :)

The [ Serout PORTB.0, 9600, "$ R W ", #gpsbuf(0), #gpsbuf(3), #gpsbuf(44), CrLf ] shows the "S R W ", but not the result of the gpsbuf() memories.

Serout will print no matter what, even before data arrives, it is in an infinite continuous loop. You should print with Serout only when isDone = 1.
Also, if you have any overrun or framing error, the isDone and strCount will always be zero.
