Hello everyone i am in the planning phase of a robot build, it has a 2dof head and 2dof right and left arm and 1dof base rotation. I was wondering if an off-the-shelf accelerometer like ADXL345 be used to control those servos? They make ADXL345 accelerometers that already have a type c port which would make it easy to plug into a computer. I was thinking of using 3 of them one for the xy of the head and one for the xy of each arm. Is this possible with arc? https://www.ebay.com/itm/395208581870?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1mdXCaP-YTY-NQ78j-4r8Ww93&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=395208581870&targetid=1584739239974&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9011873&poi=&campaignid=19894961968&mkgroupid=148855406073&rlsatarget=pla-1584739239974&abcId=9307911&merchantid=561512228&gad_source=1
To integrate the MPU6050 (or MPU6550 as mentioned) with the Arduino Leonardo and communicate with Synthiam ARC, you can use the
MPU6050
library to handle the sensor data. Below is a modified version of your Arduino sketch that includes the necessary code to read data from the MPU6050 and send it to ARC.First, ensure you have the
MPU6050
library installed in your Arduino IDE. You can install it via the Library Manager by searching for "MPU6050".Here's the updated code:
Key Points:
MPU6050
library is used to interface with the MPU6050 sensor.updateMPUData()
function reads the accelerometer and gyroscope data from the MPU6050.doEZProtocol()
function handles communication with ARC, including sending sensor data.This code provides a basic framework for integrating the MPU6050 with ARC. You can expand upon this by adding more functionality or refining the data processing as needed. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask!
