BlueTooth Question

2007-02-27T19:25:44+01:00

I dont think I explained too well!

I have a device that has sensors on.
I would like to feed sensor information from this device to the RN.
Without physical connections, under 10 meters distant.
That operates as an remote sensor satellite.
---

My device has 3 sensors and I want them to remotely link to the AD inputs on the RN.
---

SO! I guess that with bluetooth you cannot address the AD ports and substitute values!

I am guessing that this can be done by following the RC route. Setup a reciever that feeds an AD port with the transmitted data. I would just need to transmit my values from the other device to the assigned freq.

Mmmmmm!

Ps.
The reason behind this is that I can triangulate any object with my device and can output the results via analogue or digital. I want to use it to triangulate the RN and explore using a remote sensorium to drive groups of moves.
The device can be programmed to take all of the dog work processing out of the task and provide the RN with a basic set of values to work with.

The only way I could think of doing it would be to read the AD port value in roboBasic and then send that out the serial port to the bluetooth module. That would mean your bluetooth controller (PC/Laptop PDA) would need to accept the incoming data and interparate it into something meaningful.

Unfortunately the robobasic send is limited to bytes (I think) so where a value is greater than 256 you'd need some sort of packet/protocol that sent a LSB/MSB and recombined them at the controller end.

BLUETOOTH QUESTION

uh, dirty: ad stands for analog to digital, there's a rtx, ttx port on the controller already. having seen what you get RN-1 to do,
I'd almost bet you've answered your own question by now.uhoh,reading post OK this newbie is needing help with gyros and RC controller: the ad ports are configurable either way.

BlueTooth Question

2007-02-26T19:23:35+01:00

With the current bluetooth - RN1 setup, would it be possible to TX or RX AD ports ect...

ie. feed a signal from an external control device via bluetooth to an RN1 AD input?
I understand that this may involve connection of AD ports to BT device but I wonder if this can be done and in what way.

Thx 4 ne help.

Marcus.
