Sends data with zigbee

2013-04-08T20:38:32+01:00

I usually use my own firmware (really is only an enhanced 'toss mode') and program the robots from an external controller (Raspberry, Pandaboard) in C++ and C#, communicating using several ways (usually USB to dynamixel) but also using the Zigbee with no change in code (all they use a virtual serial port, so only change wait times, baud rates and port names when needed)

You can find several examples at softwaresouls.com

Hop it helps

If you use zig2serial and zig100/zig110 you have a serial connection to the PC, so you simply write to the serial port. printf() or any of the other stdio.h functions will do.

But to read commands send from the PC must I use serialReceiveCommand() function or can I use also scanf?
And what about serial_read and serial_write? Can I use them to write data to Pc and to read commands from PC?

It would be much easier to copy the code from serial.h and serial.c that deals with #ifdef ZIG_2_SERIAL blocks into the serial.c file in the Robotis code...

But must I compile it to obtain the library libserial.a?

The zigbee.c/h and zgb_hal.c/h code from Bioloid implements the same packet protocol for send/receive, which is designed for RC-100 use only.

As I said, if you want to use zig2serial for 2-way communication with a PC, look at BioloidCControl in the code for serial.c/h. And yes, I am sure it works

Can I use only serial.h, serial.c, rc100.h, rc100.c and global.h of the BioloidCControl? Can I copy these files in the embeded_c(cm510_v1.01) directory and compile them to make the libraries libserial.a?

Are you sure? If so, what is the meaning to have zigbee.h?

How can I transmit data from controller to pc using zigbee modules?
I have noticed that in zigbee.h, the function zgb_tx_data send an int. I want to send a structure with some data (accelerometer info, gyroscope info, etc) from the controller (CM510) to the PC (I have zig100 and zig110 modules, zigserial, etc...). How can I send this information to the PC?
