====== Preparing Roboclows ====== ===== How connect ===== Take 2 Roboclows and connect with drives and power like below. ===== Reset cables ===== Roboclows need outside reset signal. In order to provide this, take cables reset (look at previous article) and solder it to a reset path in Roboclows (see below). {{:kabelek_od_resetu.jpg?nolink&200|}} ===== How set parameters ===== For properly communication with Panda board, you need set correct RS address for each Robobclow. Also you need set correct type communication and supply voltage. ==== Set RS address ==== Every RS device must have unique communication address. Roboclow for front wheels has address 0x80, Robobclow for rear-wheels has address 0x81. Default programmed address is 0x80, so you need change only one. In order to change address click "MODE" button on Roboclow board. Now you see 7 diode blinks one by one separated by longer diode off. It's mean board has address 0x80. Click "SET" button ones to increment to 0x81. If you see 8 diode blinks, click "LIPO" button to accept changes. ==== Set supply ==== In this project we use 12V battery (4 cells). We need set it. Click "LIPO" button to start programming mode. Now click "SET" button until you saw 5 diode blinks one by one. Now click "LIPO" button to save. ==== Set Roboclow mode ==== ==== Documentation ==== For more information see documentation.
