My team's mentor is going to be on a business trip for a few days, and we'd like to test the IR code using the edubot as a robot, and the RC as the beacon, but we're not sure if you can easily transfer the code.
And if someone already asked this, um, yeah, I'm just stupid then  . |
Yes, it should work just fine using these steps:
1) Drop a copy of beacon.c and beacon.h into a directory containing a fresh copy of the default EDU-RC code.
2) Use the project wizard to create a new project with the default code and beacon files.
3) Edit user_routines.c adding #include <beacon.h> in the #include area near the top and then a call to to Initialize_Beacon() in User_Initialization().
4) Change the call to Setup_PWM_Output_Type() to look like this: Setup_PWM_Output_Type(USER_CCP,USER_CCP,IFI_PWM,IF I_PWM);
5) You may also need to comment out the call to Generate_Pwms() in Process_Data_From_Master_uP().
6) While you're there, comment out the Default_Routine() and printf() calls in Process_Data_From_Master_uP().
7) Build and load the new .hex file.
8) Beacon type-0 should be on PWM13 and type-1 should be on PWM14.
Let us know if it works.
BTW, the tracking code works just fine on the EDU-RC.
Here's a copy that'll get you started.
