interfacing c++ to control motor stepper with arduino - c++

I have tried to control motor stepper via arduino uno board with slider in visual C++.
but the servo didnot move at all.
here the program at PC side:
void CENVSConfigDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
SetTimer(cTimer1,80,NULL);
}
void CENVSConfigDlg::OnTimer(UINT_PTR ID)
{
if(ID==cTimer1){
DWORD nbytes;
char buf[5];
sprintf(buf, "%d \n", val_test);
/* Open serial port. */
if(!WriteFile( hnd_serial, (void*)buf, 5, &nbytes, NULL )){MessageBox(L"Write Com Port fail!");return;}
}
and the program in arduino:
#include <Servo.h>
Servo servoMain;
int index=0;
String inputString;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
servoMain.attach(9);
}
void loop()
{
int data;
while (Serial.available())
{
char inChar = (char)Serial.read();
if (inChar == '\n' || inChar == 'z')
{
data=stringToInt(inputString);
Serial.println(data); //
inputString="";
servoMain.write(data); //tambahannya
delay(50);
break;
}
if (inChar != 0)
{
inputString += inChar;
}
}
}
int stringToInt(String s)
{
char char_string[s.length()+1];
s.toCharArray(char_string, s.length()+1);
return atoi(char_string);
}
the pc i think is sending the data, but why the motor didnot working? any idea?

First off, does the serial link work at all? The number of ways that an RS232 link can not work, for both hardware and software reasons, is legendary. Unless you can show that the hardware can transfer data, it's pointless to look at your dedicated software. If you have a scope, use that to see if anything is being transmitted and then check that it arrives at the correct pin on the arduino input. If you have no access to a scope, a small LED and a 4.7K resistor can be used to indicate that there is data on the line - it will flicker with the data.

ESP32 Bluetooth connection status

I am running into some problems finding a solution when it comes to performing some form of Bluetooth connection check for my project that will allow me to have a connection status light.
My project consists of creating a Bluetooth speaker that has Led Strips controlled over Bluetooth serial (an app will be made to handle this) and audio stream over Bluetooth from a single ESP32.
I have found plenty of examples and had success with performing an spp callback event, however, of course this only works if I connect to the Bluetooth serial side of things through my 'Serial Bluetooth Terminal' app on my phone. If I just go into my phone Bluetooth list and connect to the audio side of things, nothing is registered, which isn't very useful for a Bluetooth speaker!
Basically I really need some help finding a way of registering that a device has connected to the Bluetooth audio so that I can have some form of indication light to tell the user that they are successfully connected to the speaker to play music.
Below is my code:
#include <btAudio.h> //<-------this is the library that I am using to handle Bluetooth audio to an external I2s DAC

I have cut lots of the code to do with the LEDs out but its still quite long, If it would help to have a more condensed version then I will chop it down further. Or if it helps to have the full code then I can also post it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am well and truly stuck with this one and its a pretty important part of the project.
Thanks in advance!

Arduino restarts after serial input from Raspberry Pi

I have this code running on the arduino:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
// !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
// pins!!!!
// !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
const int delayTime=10;
const int pin_yes_gate=3;
const int pin_no_gate=5;
int switchVal =0;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial port to send and receive at 9600 baud
pinMode(pin_yes_gate, OUTPUT);
pinMode(pin_no_gate, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
if (switchVal ==1 ){
allow();
}else{
prohibit();
}
if ( Serial.available())
{
String string = Serial.readString();
string.trim();
Serial.print("I received: ");
Serial.print(string);
Serial.print("\n");
if(string.equals("allowed"))
{
switchVal=1;
}else if(string.equals("error"))
{
switchVal=0;
}
}
}
void allow(){
digitalWrite(pin_yes_gate,HIGH);
digitalWrite(pin_no_gate,LOW);
delay(delayTime);
}
void prohibit(){
digitalWrite(pin_yes_gate,LOW);
digitalWrite(pin_no_gate,HIGH);
delay(delayTime);
}
and I'm writing echo allowed >> /dev/ttyACM0 which gives the reaction, but for less than a second, and then the arduino returns to the initial state. This is weird, as it works with the arduino IDE perfectly.
Am I missing something ?
Just solved it, apparently the problem is the
Serial.print("I received: ");
Serial.print(string);
Serial.print("\n");
It errors out if serial is not read. So either removing this, or as in my case I can't change anything on the arduino side run this command on raspi boot tail -f /dev/ttyACM0 & which opens a read port

Entering multiple SPI interfaces

It looks the code opening the SPI connection is commented out:
MQ131.begin(pinSS, pinRDY, O2Pin, LOW_CONCENTRATION, 10000);
You need to configure the SPI connection to get any data from your device.
Refer to reference code from the manufacturer or library you're using to make sure your programming against it correctly.
Please format your code with predictable spacing. This is pretty hard to read.
Since you're using C++, prefer to use:
constexpr <type> NAME = <value>;
rather than macros:
#define NAME (<value>)
Since this is a bare metal compilation, using return in the setup() or loop() functions does not stop them. You probably want something more like while (true) {}. This will loop the code indefinitely, rather than proceed in a bad state.
i.e.:
void stop_forever() {
Serial.println("fatal error detected, stoping forever.");
while (true) {}
}
// then, use it later:
// ...
if (error) {
stop_forever();
}
// ...

Recieved String to useable variable in Arduino

I'm trying to use data sent via Bluetooth from a mobile app to the Arduino. There will be 2 strings received dependent on the function required.
First function: When the string "ledon" or "ledoff" received turn on or turn off an led.
Second Function: from the app I get the data a user has typed into 2 boxes, one a text box the other a password box, this is received by the Arduino as one string with comma's as a delimiter so the string can be separated into it's component parts, which in this case are an "ssid name" and a "network key". These details I will be intending to write to an onboard sd card so that the wifi module will be able to logon to the network that the ssid and network key are relevant too.
So far I can get the led light to do as it should, I can also get the string read, separated by the delimiter and printed out to the serial monitor. However when I try to combine the two codes the led function fails to turn on or off the led light although the correct command is printed into the serial monitor. I have researched how to solve this trying each requirement as a standalone function and calling them in the loop section, which individually they work but when called together again the led fails to come on.
This is the code i'm presently using:
const int ledPin = 11;
String readString;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode (ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
while (Serial.available()) {
delay(3);
char c = Serial.read();
readString += c;
}
//turns led on or off
if (readString.length() >0) {
Serial.println(readString);
if (readString == "ledon")
{
digitalWrite (ledPin, HIGH);
}
if (readString == "ledoff")
{
digitalWrite (ledPin, LOW);
}
readString="";
//seperates the string into 2 lines using the delimiter ","
String first = Serial.readStringUntil(',');
Serial.read(); //next character is comma, so skip it using this
String second = Serial.readStringUntil(',');
Serial.read();
Serial.println(first);
Serial.println(second);
readString="";
}
}
If I comment out the string part of the code the led turns on and off fine, if I try and run the code as is the code prints everything you would expect but the led doesn't come on.
I'm pretty new to Arduino,c and c++ and I cannot seem to figure this out so any help would be great.
The app I'm using to control this is being built in Mit's App Inventor 2
I have finally resolved this.
I decided to look at other logical steps to find a solution.
I considered the issue could be having different strings that did different things which may be conflicting in some way.
In my research I found reference to the fact that the Bluetooth module HC-05 has 2 pins that in my case were not being utilised, the key pin and the state pin, in this stack overflow discussion Tell when Bluetooth module connects on Arduino and decided this logic of using the "State pin" to signify Bluetooth connection would negate the possibility of any conflicts within the String logic.
Once I had figured out the best way to place and order the "where" statements I managed to get the functionality at this point in my project which then allows me to move on to the next step in the development.
The code I have now arrived at:
const int ledPin1 = 11;
const int ledPin2 = 4;
String readString;
boolean BTconnected = false;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode (ledPin1, OUTPUT);
pinMode (ledPin2, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
while (!BTconnected)
{
if ( digitalRead(ledPin2)==HIGH) { BTconnected = true;};
}
digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH);
Serial.println("HC-05 is now connected");
Serial.println("");
while (BTconnected)
{
if ( digitalRead(ledPin2)==LOW) { BTconnected = false;
digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW);
Serial.println("HC-05 is now disconnected");
Serial.println("");
};
while (Serial.available())
{
delay(3);
char c = Serial.read();
readString += c;
}
if (readString.length() >0) {
//Serial.println(readString);
//readString="";
String first = Serial.readStringUntil(',');
Serial.read(); //next character is comma, so skip it using this
Serial.println(first);
//readString="";
String second = Serial.readStringUntil(',');
Serial.read();
Serial.println(second);
Serial.println("");
//readString="";
}
}
}

Arduino XBee sending data API

I want to send data from an end device to a coordinator with XBee and Arduino. But, the Arduino reboots when sending data (sending data was aborted). What could the problem be?
/* Transmit */
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <XBee.h>
int end = 1;
int alim_XbeeRS = A7;
int RX_XBee = 14;
int TX_XBee = 15;
XBee xbee = XBee();
//Allume le périphérique
void powerOn(SoftwareSerial portcom)
{
portcom.begin(57600);
digitalWrite(alim_XbeeRS, HIGH);
}
void setup ()
{
SoftwareSerial XbeeRS(RX_XBee,TX_XBee);
Serial.begin(57600);
XbeeRS.begin(57600);
pinMode(RX_XBee, INPUT); // Rx
pinMode(TX_XBee, OUTPUT); // Tx
pinMode(alim_XbeeRS, OUTPUT);
powerOn(XbeeRS);
xbee.setSerial(XbeeRS);
delay(5000);
Serial.println("XBee OP");
}
void loop()
{
if (end == 1)
{
Serial.println("sending");
ZBTxRequest _zbTx;
uint8_t payload[] = {'Y','E','S','\0'};
XBeeAddress64 address = XBeeAddress64 (0x13A200,0x4081B77C );
_zbTx = ZBTxRequest(address, payload, sizeof(payload));
Serial.println("sending");
xbee.send(_zbTx); // The program blocks here
}
else
{
Serial.println("waiting");
xbee.readPacket(100);
if (xbee.getResponse().isAvailable())
{
Serial.println("waiting 1");
if( xbee.getResponse().getApiId() == ZB_RX_RESPONSE)
{
Serial.println("waiting 2");
ZBRxResponse _rx;
xbee.getResponse().getZBRxResponse(_rx);
uint8_t* response= new uint8_t[50];
for(int i=0; i<_rx.getDataLength(); i++)
{
response[i] = _rx.getData()[i];
Serial.println(char(response[i]));
}
}
}
}
}
EDIT (additional information):
It doesn't change anything if I change the value type in the payload. About the baud rate, both of XBees are configured to 57600 baud. Here is the XBee's configuration:
ENDEVICE
COORDINATOR
The result from the serial port of this device is:
Finally, I use the Arduino ATmega 1284P. I really have no idea what kind of problem could do this.
There is some trouble :/
First, the default coordinator ADD is 0x0 0x0, so the line where
XBeeAddress64 address = XBeeAddress64 (0x13A200,0x4081B77C );
should be
XBeeAddress64 address = XBeeAddress64 (0x0,0x0 );
Then, is the Xbee at 57600 baud too?
To get an ACK, you can use:
if (xbee.readPacket(1000))
{
if (xbee.getResponse().getApiId() == ZB_TX_STATUS_RESPONSE)
{
xbee.getResponse().getZBTxStatusResponse(txStatus);
if (txStatus.getDeliveryStatus() == SUCCESS)
{
//It's sent
}
}
It could be from you payload too. You better use a hexadecimal value or int to be sure of what you send.
EDIT:
I see you don't use the last version of Xctu. Try it and test the direct communication between them to see if you can have direct contact between Coordinator and Routeur/End device.
