Can ARC Work With An Lattepanda/Arduino With A PCA9685 Connected To It?

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Can ARC work with a Lattepanda's Arduino with DJ's firmware installed with a PCA9685 connected to it to control servo's in the following connection model?  Note UNO represents the Lattepanda's Arduino GPIO.

I would be connecting to pin 6 for A4 and pin 8 for A5

Will the standard servo skills work in ARC if ARC is connected to the Arduino or is something else needed? Like the PCA9685 16-Channel PWM Driver Module Library loaded on the the Arduino?

Well,  I finally got a chance to try this on the Lattepanda's Arduino and got the following error so I don't know if anyone can help me with this.

Using the new Arduino IDE 2.0.3 the new firmware compiled ok but when sending it to the Lattepanda I got the following feedback on the screen.

Connecting to programmer: .
Found programmer: Id = "CATERIN"; type = S
    Software Version = 1.0; No Hardware Version given.
Programmer supports auto addr increment.
Programmer supports buffered memory access with buffersize=128 bytes.

Programmer supports the following devices:
    Device code: 0x44

I am not sure this is an issue or not.

Using Arduino IDE 1.8.13 there does not seem to be an issue uploading the new Arduino Leonardo Dec 11th firmware.

DJ,  When trying to compile Mickey's package I am still getting the following error.

This package also has SendOnlySoftwareSerial.ccp and SendOnlySoftwareSerial.h which I think your firmware is also using.  So I am not sure what to do here any help would be great.   I really was counting on using this Adafruit 16 channel servo shield with the Lattepanda in the head.

Sorry, what do you mean by "mickey's package"? I provided a link to the Leonardo ezb firmware. You responded to this issue in some random thread, so I'm not sure what page or firmware you're talking about. Do you have a link, screenshot, or something that can help me?
