1. New Human Computer Interfaces Amnon Dekel HUJI – CSE, Spring 2007 Class ? May 30 2007

2. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 20062 On the Menu Project Idea Presentations and Discussion Serial Communications: Some more sensors Changing the world: Actuators Milestones for the rest of the semester

3. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 20063 Serial Communications The Ardiono can communicated with other devices in the world using the Serial Communications Protocol You can use this to have a board Send data to another board and receive data from another board. You can also use this to have the board communicate with a workstation (Why?)

4. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 20064 Serial Communications This communication happens via the Arduino board's serial or USB connection and on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Thus, if you use these functions, you cannot also use pins 0 and 1 for digital i/o. –Serial.begin(speed)Serial.begin –int Serial.available()Serial.available –int Serial.read()Serial.read –Serial.flush()Serial.flush –Serial.print(data)Serial.print –Serial.println(data)Serial.println WORKSHOP: http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Labs/Serial http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Labs/Serial

15. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200615 Speed (RPM) Movement – mechanics Controlling the Position Feedback about the position How much weight can it carry Torque How much power does it need Price Selecting a Motors

16. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200616 Speed (RPM) Movement – mechanics Controlling the Position Feedback about the position How much weight can it carry Torque How much power does it need Price Selecting a Motors 1. The moment of a force; the measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis, equal to the vector product of the radius vector from the axis of rotation to the point of application of the force and the force vector. 2. A turning or twisting force.

17. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200617 Types of Motors Stepper DC servo DC

18. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200618 DC Motor: Cheap. Very easy to connect Minimum control Turns 360 degrees. Can add components for more control: –Speed: change the voltage using a POT –Direction: change the polarity –Position: can’t!  Add an H-Bridge circuit Motors

19. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200619 DC Servo: Expensive Very easy to connect Includes all components Turns 90 degrees to each side Full control: –Speed: change the voltage –Position: Needs CHECKING Motors Waiting for answer from Oren

20. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200620 DC Servo - Controlling the position: They rotate 0 to 180 degrees depending on the pulsewidth. About 1.5 sec to move 180 degrees. The DC Servo takes a pulse of between 1-2 ms every 20 ms. A pulse of 1 ms will turn the motor to 0 degrees; 1.5 MS will turn to 90 degrees, 2 ms will turn it to 180 degrees To keep a servo in its current position pulse it with the same pulse width every 18-20 ms to keep it there. Controlling a Servo

21. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200621 Stepper: Cheap Usually 12V Hard to connect Need extra components Turns 360 degrees. Can stay still in one position Full control: –Position –Speed Motors

22. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200622 We want to control a few elements: Speed Strength Direction Position Controlling Motors

23. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200623 We want to control a few elements: Speed  power Strength  Current Direction  current direction/Pulse Position  Pulse Controlling Motors

24. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200624 Controlling the position: Controlling Motors DC Motor Controller בקר (H-Bridge) Encoder BS1 משובFeedback PWM

25. New Human Computer Interfaces - HUJI - Spring 200625 Using PWM to control the position: For each motor we know the RPM: in X Volt, how many rounds per minute. From this info we can calculate how many degrees a pulse moves in a certain time. When accuracy is important inertia should be taken into account (and gear to balance it) Controlling Motors
