It's my understanding that the OpenCM controller is not able to host any USB device. Therefore USB flash memory is out of the equation. For the SD card, you'd have to design your own SD card shield, and use a library/program a library similar to the SD card library for Arduino.

As I see it, probably the most straightforward solution would be to have Zigbee or Bluetooth communication with the ROBOTIS boards, and use the serial example sketches. As shown here: http://support.robotis.com/en/techsupport_eng.htm#software/robotis_opencm.htm

You could download the OpenCM IDE and check the communication examples yourself, to see if it fits what you're intending to achieve.
It is incredibly Arduino like. I suggest you to check any communication example of SerialUSB.

You can get the IDE here: http://support.robotis.com/en/software/robotis_opencm.htm

How to transfer data between OpenCM and the PC?

2014-06-21T23:55:01+01:00

Hello,

I am considering to buy the OpenCM9.04. I want to be able to create a text motion data file from a PC and then somehow transfer it to the OpenCM9.04 to make the motors move accordingly. Also, while the robot is moving, obtain the angle data from the motors. Ideally in real-time or almost real-time but if not, after the experiment somehow sending the time-series of angle data to the PC as a text data file is ok as well. As of today, what options are available? Anybody succeed in doing this? Any codes available to share?

Thanks.
