Hi,
This is the control section of the project: https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/...location-pic-in-oshonsoft.148795/post-1270205

I think that having a CONTROL SECTION to the project, will hopefully, save some confusion, if calculations and ideas are posted here instead of the main PBCs and programs for the peripherals etc.

This SERVO CONTROL CODE was kindly written by members of ETO, but I'm a bit stuck with a change to clock speed. It uses OSCCON which sets the OSC to 8mHz, where the main programs that this will be added into uses 8mHz Crystals X4 (PLL) so 32mHz.

I've been modifying it for testing, and I hope it is still ok. It moves the SERVOs incrementally, and once I;ve got this figured out, I can send it numbers to move the SERVOs instead.

Hi,
I've written a program that controls 7 SERVO/MOTORS (only because I've used the 7th channel for timing) I only need 5XChannels.
I'll now have to test it a bit to make sure it's ok.

Hi,
REMOTE_SLAVE PIC:
I can now move a SERVO/MOTOR, 'say' CHAN _1, by inputting a number between 1000 and 2000.

The BASE is transmitting DATA to the REMOTE, and the REMOTE is receiving them.
The first 3BYTEs are for controlling CHAN_1, 'say' 0x53,0x53,0x53 or 555.
The range of the input is 'say' 200 and 900, so this must be converted to between 1000 and 2000.

I have the formula:
'say' (555 - 200)/7x10+1000 This is somewhere near 1500 which is 1/2 way.

My question is: how do I write OSHONSOFT BASIC to convert 3xBYTES into a WORD to carry this out, please.

(I hope you can understand ok)
Camerart

 

Is it hex 53 or decimal 53? Hex 053 is a capital "S", whereas a decimal 53 is the ASCII "5", which makes more sense.
Sending "555" in ASCII can be converted to a binary by converting each ASCII string to a numeric value, with a function such as StrValW or StrValL
Or, take each byte value and multiply it by the position in the byte array, so first "0x53" (if that is what it is) is converted to a binary "5" and then multiplied by 100. The next is converted to a number and multiplied by 10 and final is just converted. Add them up for a final total.

Hi S,
It's five hundred and fifty five.
I'll try your multiply answer, thanks.

I've been wondering why it's 3x BYTEs and not 2xBYTEs, which is also possible and may work better really. I'll look into it, as it was a while ago when this was set-up and it maybe my preference, in order to read it in a Terminal.
Cheers, C.

Hi S,
It took some experimenting, remembering 'OR' and brackets, but it now shows APPROX what it should do. I think the APPROX may be due to reading the 3xBYTES at slightly different time, which can be ironed out.

Anyway, after the the ORing and converting the number to between 1000 and 2000, I connected it to the first SERVO, and now when the BASE joystick is moved, the REMOTE-SERVO moves

There is a long time lag, as the joystick number goes through the air, then through my CODE in REMOTE MASTER, then via SPI to REMOTE SLAVE, then through todays calc and into the SERVO, so there's lots of things to look at, but at long last everything seems to be somewhat working.
Thanks, C.
