How To Make Your Own Robot Controlled With C#, Followed By A WebCam.

How To Make Your Own Robot Controlled With C#, Followed By A WebCam. 

Hello my dears followers, Like it is mentionned in the article title. Today i m going to demonstrate how we could make an intelligent robot, Controlled by your own C# application made in Visual Studio 2012, Followed by a WebCam.

To Make a full project like this one you have many choices to choose. 

The Hard part of this project is done using an Atmega 328p like a principal MCU. You could use any other MCU, For exemple A PIC like PIC16F877 is able also to replace the Atmega328p.

We know that the principal MCU based on the Arduino UNO is ATmega328 so You Could also use Arduino to get the robot working.

ATmega 328p pins 

   

Those Kind of project based essentially an serial communication. so you have just to use a MCU able to support UART.

There is a step in my project based in PWM so the MCU used have to support PWM also.

And for those how dont know what that means UART and PWM they have just to take a look here:

Pulse With Modulation

UART

I choosed directly the ATmega 328p because this one is easier in programming and cheap in price. 

ATmega 328p

The robot move in 4 directions using a 4 simple DC motors, and those motors are controlled by 2 L293D.
The camera is just placed in the first servomotor. and this one is place in other one to get sure that the position where the camera is putted could  cover every point. 

Placing the WebCam

I showed in this article programming ATmega like an Arduino how to program an ATmega32p like programming a simple arduino. this solution is used today also and this is the full program placed in the MCU memory to make the robot moving.

This is The Complet Circuit that you have to draw.

Full Circuit

The Hard part of the project is just done so let's talk about the soft part.

We have here to build an Application based in serial communication able to connect directly the robot.

There is many solution to do this, for exemple Labview is one of the best interfacing system also Visual Basic or C#.

I  used C# to do this. A simple application in one only panel with a serial communication platform.

Many Buttons to control the robot and the camera.

How The Application Work ?

This is simple, We have just to add a serial platform to the app. This one will always ask for the port com and the baud rate. Since the moment your choose your serial parametres the fonctionnemnet of buttons starts. 

Every button you will click will send a code to the MCU and exactly like this that's working.

How the WebCam Works ?

In fact, there is a direct library you have to add to your visual studio named AFroge.net Direct Download. After adding this one to your visual studio you have to add this two reference to your project.

The rest is easy, you have just to give the application the permission to look for webcam devices plug in your computer, starts showing what she see, Capture button to save directly the view.

This is the full program written with C# in Visual Studio 2012.

Generate PWM Signal From Spartan 3E

Let's get PWM Using Spartan 3E

Dans la meme s�rie de tutoriels que j'ai fait au but de la d�couverte de technologie FPGA et en particulier la carte Spartan 3E, Aujourd'hui je vais vous montrer comment on fait pour generer un signal PWM (pulse widh modulation), vous expliquer les �tapes de programmation que j'ai fait en passant par un test pratique d�monstratif.

La modulation de largeur d'impulsions (MLI ; en anglais : Pulse Width Modulation, soit PWM), est une technique couramment utilis�e pour synth�tiser des signaux continus � l'aide de circuits � fonctionnement tout ou rien, ou plus g�n�ralement � �tats discrets.

Le principe g�n�ral est qu'en appliquant une succession d'�tats discrets pendant des dur�es bien choisies, on peut obtenir en moyenne sur une certaine dur�e n'importe quelle valeur interm�diaire.

Ce ph�nom�ne est fortement recommand� pour assurer la variation de vitesse de moteur a courant continu, aujourd'hui je vais vous d�montrer comment on peut g�n�rer un signal PWM d'une carte FPGA Spartan 3E et visualiser son pr�sence sur des diodes LEDs.

  

Passons maintenant au programmation;

Interfacing Servo-Motor With STM32

Interfacing Servo-Motor With STM32

Bonjour, Aujourd'hui on va discuter le fonctionnent du servo moteur en essayant de le contr�ler avec un STM32F4, contr�ler veut dire contr�ler quelle angle il la tourne vers. donc Commen�ons par une petite d�finition d'un servomoteur.

Un servomoteur est un syst�me motoris� capable d'atteindre des positions pr�d�termin�es, puis de les maintenir. La position est : dans le cas d�un moteur rotatif, une valeur d'angle et, dans le cas d�un moteur lin�aire une distance. On utilise des moteurs �lectriques (continu, asynchrone, brushless) aussi bien que des moteurs hydrauliques. Le d�marrage et la conservation de la position pr�d�termin�e sont command�s par un syst�me de r�glage.     

Mais savez vous que la commande de servo-moteur est pas totalement comme le moteur dc genre on l'alimente alors il tourne ? savez vous que chaque servo-moteur a sa propre m�thode de commande et de fonctionnement ?

On peut tout �tre d'accord que chaque servo moteur il fonctionne avec un signal PWM pulse with modulation que j'ai d�j� d�finit sur cet article PWM. Mais il faut bien comprendre que chaque servo a sa propre fa�on de commande qu'on peut seulement la comprendre sur son fichier technique.

Alors pour comprendre le fonctionnement de chaque un, on qu'aller a sa fichier technique et lire exactement le pulse associer a chaque angle par rapport au p�riode cyclique qu'il a chaque un . citons cette exemple 

les servomoteurs sont commander par les envoyer des pulsations. Ici le servo doit recevoir chaque 20 ms une pulsation ou le longueur de cette derni�re va indiquer a quelle angle exactement il doit tourner notre servomoteur. 

Voila cette exemple:

• si a chaque 20 ms j'envoi une pulsation de longueur 1 ms le servo va tourner vers 0 degr� 
• si a chaque 20 ms j'envoi une pulsation de 1.5 ms le servo va tourner pr�cis�ment vers 90 degr�
• ......

D'ici on peut conclure la m�thode de la quelle le servo on doit le commander avec notre microcontr�leur, une seule sortie num�rique est capable de le commander si je la met on niveau haut pendant la p�riode ou pulsation est active et je la met en niveau bas pendant le reste de la p�riode (20ms - pulsation).

Aujourd'hui je vais commander ce servomoteur via une carte STM32 F4

on se r�f�rant de sa fichier technique j'ai �cris le programme suivant:

//Let's electronic By Aymen Lachkhem
// Interfacing Servo-motor to STM32
// Letselectronic.blogspot.com
void servoRotate0() //0 Degree
{
  unsigned int i;
  for(i=0;i<50;i++)
  {
    gpiob_odr.f3 = 1;
    Delay_us(1000);
    gpiob_odr.f3 = 0;
    Delay_us(19000);
  }
}
     void servoRotate90() //90 Degree
{
  unsigned int i;
  for(i=0;i<50;i++)
  {
    gpiob_odr.f3 = 1;
    Delay_us(2500);
    gpiob_odr.f3 = 0;
    Delay_us(17500);
  }
}
     void servoRotate180() //180 Degree
{
  unsigned int i;
  for(i=0;i<50;i++)
  {
    gpiob_odr.f3 = 1;
    Delay_us(4400);
    gpiob_odr.f3 = 0;
    Delay_us(16000);
  }
}
void main(){


GPIO_Digital_Output(&GPIOB_ODR, _GPIO_PINMASK_3);     // configuration of pb3 as Digital Output
GPIO_Digital_Input (&GPIOA_BASE, _GPIO_PINMASK_3 | _GPIO_PINMASK_4 | _GPIO_PINMASK_5); // configure PORTA pins as speed control input
  while (1) {
     if (GPIOA_IDR.B3) {
    servoRotate0(); //0 Degree
    Delay_ms(2000);}
     if (GPIOA_IDR.B4) {
    servoRotate90(); //90 Degree
    Delay_ms(2000);}
     if (GPIOA_IDR.B5) {
    servoRotate180(); //180 Degree
    Delay_ms(2000);}
  }
}

Il est tout indiquer au commentaire de programme a propos la configuration, le principe est totalement simple ou j'aurai 3 entr�es num�riques que je vais utiliser comme des boutons poussoires qui vont forcer le servo moteur relier au  sortie num�rique a tourn�e vers une angle bien pr�cise comme il est citer au vid�o au dessous

Speed Motor's Variator Using STM32

Speed Motor's Variator Using STM32

La variation de vitesse de moteur a courant continu dans cet article est bas�e sur le protocole PWM qu'on peut le d�finir comme ceci :

PWM

La modulation de largeur d'impulsions (MLI ; en anglais : Pulse Width Modulation, soit PWM), est une technique couramment utilis�e pour synth�tiser des signaux continus � l'aide de circuits � fonctionnement tout ou rien, ou plus g�n�ralement � �tats discrets.

Le principe g�n�ral est qu'en appliquant une succession d'�tats discrets pendant des dur�es bien choisies, on peut obtenir en moyenne sur une certaine dur�e n'importe quelle valeur interm�diaire.

Ce ph�nom�ne est fortement recommand� pour assurer la variation de vitesse de moteur a courant continu, aujourd'hui je vais vous d�montrer comment on peut g�n�rer un signal PWM d�une STM32 et visualiser son pr�sence sur des diodes LEDs.

Voici un exemple de comment on genere un signal PWM using Mikro C for ARM et STM32F4:

L�objectif de ce tutoriel est de mettre en oeuvre le contr�le de vitesse de moteur a courant continu de fa�on autonome 

Pour ceci on aura besoin de 

Un Moteur DC

STM32 F4

Transistor TIP122

Diode

Deux boutons poussoirs 

deux r�sistances 1 K

Le principe est tout � fait simple on aura deux boutons poussoirs ou la premi�re va incr�menter la vitesse de moteur et la deuxi�me va faire exactement le contraire.

L�incr�mentation continuera jusqu�� alimenter le moteur en r�gime de rapport cyclique complet puis conditionnement une autre incr�mentation va le remettre a 0 tour/s, le m�me truc se passe avec la d�cr�mentation de rapport d�ja nul va le rendre on vitesse maximale.
