Uart Compass

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Hi Guys, I want to hook up my Sure Compass to UART and the manual says to send all commands in ASCII. I know how to convert text to ASCII but I am stumped as to how to put it into the UART commands in ARC script. Has anyone done this? I have seen and read the info on I2C in reference to the Compass but can't find anything on using UART.

$ x=GetAsByte ( value )

This will convert the data to the ASCII character. I had to use the same protocol to communicate with my Dynamixel servos. In Phython its chr ( value ).

@mtiberia, Thank you for the input but I am a novice when it comes to coding so if you don't mind can you expand a bit on exactly what to do. The manual says to send "$sure ga " to get the direction. How would that look in script? I am feeling really inept.
