Hi Evangelos,

Before I can answer your question, please tell me what controller from which you wish to communicate with the WheelCommander?  What programming language do you wish to use?  Or are you wanting to communicate with it from a computer?  If a computer, is it a PC or Mac?  Are you running Windows, Linux, etc?

Hi Pete,

 

I was wondering if there is a dummies guide to sending/receiving instructions to/from the wheelcommander?

 

For example: (in matlab)

S = serial(‘COM1’) *this sets up the com port*

Fopen(s) *this opens the com port for communication*

Fprintf(s, ‘Sting goes here’) *this sends a string to the com port*

Fscanf(s) *this reads whatever has been transmitted to the com port*

 

Using the above sending and receiving mechanism how would I send the instruction to wheelcommander to move forward/backward etc, using a serial(RS232) communication port?

 

Your help is much appreciated.

 

Regards,
