Using ADC Ports

is there a possebility to use the ADC inputs for controlling a servo?
i try the micro servo a,d a HDD from ez robot.
that didn work.

this what i have .

while(0)(true)
while(1)(true)

{
// duplicate this line for other servos

Servo.setPosition(d0, Utility.map(ADC.get(ADC0), 0, 255, 1, 180));


Servo.setPosition(d1, Utility.map(ADC.get(ADC1), 0, 255, 1, 180));


sleep(100);

lol how did you get that from my example hehe. Here you go...

Code:

while(true) {

Servo.setPosition(d0, Utility.map(ADC.get(ADC0), 0, 255, 1, 180));


Servo.setPosition(d1, Utility.map(ADC.get(ADC1), 0, 255, 1, 180));


sleep(100);

haha i was not far off.but it doesn move the ADC0 servo.
it move head d0 and d1.
i wanted to use ADC0 and ADC1 alone

hi ezang

waiting for parts.do you have any idea how adc ports work with continious rotation?

Steve said:
Step 1. About the ADC ports.
There are 8 ADC Ports on the EZ-B v4 numbered "A0" to "A7" that you can connect devices like analog sensors. Each ADC port contains three pins...

Ground: (output) located towards the centre of the board.

VDC: (output) The centre pin, regulated at 3.3 volts.

Signal: (input) The outermost pin from the centre of the board which reads the voltage between 0 and 3.3 volts.


The ADC ports are Configurable at 8-bit (0-255) or 12-bit (0-4095) in software.

In an ADC control found in the ARC software, such as "Read ADC", ADC reading intervals can be selected from 100 ms to 60000 millisecond analog values.

Analog readings are from 1 to 255 (0v to 3.3v) in 8 bit mode, or 0 to 4,095 in 12 bit mode.

you cant controle a servo with adc ports.

i saw it but you cant controle a servo on a adc port itself.
i wonder would a LED work? on a adc port?

Seems like you need a script:

Rich:

# ADC to servo movement
:loop
$value=GetADC(ADC0)
$position = $value/100
$position = Round($position,0)
Servo(D1,$position)
Sleep(250)
Goto(loop)


Or

# / ADC to servo movement
:loop
$value=GetADC(ADC0)
$position = $value/100
$position = Round($position,0)
$position = Map($value, 54, 129, 180, 1 )
#adjusted first two values to read min/max read ADC project, 2nd two for direction (reverse 1 and 180).
Servo(D0,$position)
Sleep(250)
Goto(loop)

from NallyCat - @Nomad 6R there is a tutorial on synthiam for that, have a look at " Using ADC (Analog to Digital) Ports, Commands and Controls." by Steve G.


Looks like the one I already gave you - check

i have another question about adc ports.didn want to open another topic.
is it possible to control a LED ,excample on/off ,with an adc port?
i notest a led goes on from 3 volt.
