This repository contains Arduino sketches and Arduino libraries maintained by the RUG/DTPA group. Web link to DTPA

Sketches

  • Blinky: A hello world example.

  • Nexus_Omni4WD: Firmware for the Nexus Omni4WD chassis for setting the wheel speeds independently. It is used to control the robot from ROS.

sketches/Nexus_Omni4WD This folder contains the Arduino sketch of the firmware. The program works as a simple command interpreter for controlling the wheel speeds independently. To compile, use the libraries provided in the extra/factory_10011.zip archive.

extra/carcomm testcarcom.py is a small Python application to test the Nexus_Omni4WD firmware (sketch). The python application sends data packages to set the wheel speeds.

The Arduino controller 10009 with io expansion shield on the Omni4WD is Duemilanove/ATMEGA328 compatible.

Libraries

  • NativeDDS: Arduino library for a software implemented Direct Digital Synthesizer.

  • TrueRMS: Arduino library that calculates the average, rms and power of DC+AC input signals, measured with the ADC.
