DC Motor with Encoder and Arduino

asked 2020-12-25 02:15:18 -0500

I'm trying out to connect a DC motor with Arduino and ROS, but I'm not sure where to start and how to understand the idea behind the encoder. I know that there are a ton of tutorials in the internet that I can search for, but none of them offer a basic explanation of what value the encoder would offer and how to read, sketch the circuitry. Any pointers in this direction would be definitely helpful for me. Could you please help me her?

To connect ros with arduino you use this http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_arduino...

And for the arduino you may read this https://www.dfrobot.com/blog-585.html

On the arduino you Reead the encoder values, integrate those abs send the value to the ROS. Ros send you motor speed commands and the PID insede the arduino try to achieve the target turn speed.

I have the serial part done. I understand how that works. It is just the motor encoding logic that I need help with the circuit and with the sketch! I will read the blog article you posted.

But my question is, is there a ready to use library for this purpose?

The questen is what kind of encoder do you have. Simple photodiode or somethink with an I2c interface or canbus.

You may use this https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/l...

I just purchased this one here from Amazon

The product pages does not say what encoder it is.

You may use the above arduino library

You need also ein Motor driver
