Uptech CDS55xx, ARDUINO, serial port question
dc_ou 2012-07-23 03:45:30 3966 Views3 Replies hi everyone,
as I'm playing around with the new servo motor Uptech CDS5516, I encountered a question regarding to the serial port.
As I understand, the servo motor has to connect with the driver board and it communicates with arduino via serial port. Is that possible that I could add other device that interfacing with arduino via serial port as well? e.g. what if I want to make a processing sketch sending the position of my mouse to control the movement of the servo.
thank you!
cheers

But I'm almost sure you need to do it through [url=https://www.dfrobot.com/image/data/SER0026/RobotServoTerminal2.1.10.402_Setup.zip]the software.[/url]

I'm now trying with the arduino softSerial lib. Hope it could work.
Do you know how can I set the Baudrate of the CDS55xx motor in arduino? the lib that comes with the motor doesnt contain a function of that.
thank you !

So long as your wiring doesn't cause a short, or over voltage/current situation. You can try it. I'm not sure how successful you might be, it depends on Bps of your different devices, and communications standards.
You might want to try the mouse and driver board without the servo first. To make sure you can make that work. Once you have that working add the servo.
