How to use the ADC Graph robot skill
Displays the ADC voltage in a historical graph. The input voltage can be between 0 and +3.3/+5 VDC (depending on your TTL high side value). The voltage will be displayed as a linear representation of the voltage value between 0 and 255.Main Window
1. Graph Display
Displays the ADC value in a line graph format.
2. Value Display
Displays the ADC numerical value detected (0-255).
3. Pause Checkbox
When checked, the ADC readings will pause.
Settings
1. Title Field
This field contains the title of the skill. You can change it if you'd like. *Note: Changing the title will also change the title in the controlCommand() associated with this skill.
2. Board Drop-down
Select your ezb board number which corresponds with the connection index. This is used to support multiple ezbs.
3. Port Drop-down
Select your ADC port number.
4. Interval Drop-down
Select the wait time in milliseconds between ADC samples.
5. Color Drop-down
Select the color for the graph line.
How to use ADC Graph
1) Add the ADC Graph skill to your ARC project (Project -> Add Skill -> ADC -> ADC Graph).
2) Select the ADC port that you have an analog device plugged into in the skill settings.
3) Read the value in the Main Window.
