I have a 9 channel RF RX/TX and want to connect 3 motors to it. I am able to connect channel 1 with motor 1 but unable to connect channel 2 with motor 2 simultaneously with arduino.
Here is the code I am currently using:
int motor1Left = 7;// defines pin 5 as connected to the motor
int motor1Right= 9;// defines pin 6 as connected to the motor
int motor2Left = 22;// defines pin 7 as connected to the motor
int motor2Right = 26;// defines pin 8 as connected to the motor
int enable = 5;
int enable2 = 10;
int channel1 = 2; // defines the channels that are connected
int channel2 = 3;// to pins 9 and 10 of arduino respectively
int Channel1 ; // Used later to
int Channel2 ; // store values
void setup ()
{
pinMode (motor1Left, OUTPUT);// initialises the motor pins
pinMode (motor1Right, OUTPUT);
pinMode (motor2Left, OUTPUT);
pinMode (motor2Right, OUTPUT);// as outputs
pinMode (channel1, INPUT);// initialises the channels
pinMode (channel2, INPUT);// as inputs
Serial.begin (9600); // Sets the baud rate to 9600 bps
}
void loop ()
{
Channel1 = (pulseIn (channel1, HIGH)); // Checks the value of channel1
Serial.println (Channel1); //Prints the channels value on the serial monitor
delay(1000);
Channel2 = (pulseIn (channel2, HIGH)); // Checks the value of channel1
Serial.println (Channel2); //Prints the channels value value on the serial monitor
delay(1000);
if (Channel1 > 1470 && Channel1 < 1500) /*These are the values that I got from my transmitter, which you may customize according to your transmitter values */
{
digitalWrite (motor1Left, LOW); // Sets both the
digitalWrite (motor1Right, LOW);// motors to low
analogWrite(enable, 100);
}
if (Channel1 < 1460) // Checks if Channel1 is lesser than 1300
{
digitalWrite (motor1Left, HIGH);// Turns the left
digitalWrite (motor1Right, LOW); // motor forward
analogWrite(enable, 100);
}
if (Channel1 > 1510) // Checks if Channel1 is greater than 1500
{
digitalWrite (motor1Left, LOW);// Turns the right
digitalWrite (motor1Right, HIGH);// motor forward
analogWrite(enable, 70);
}
if (Channel2 > 1480 && Channel1 < 1500 )
{
digitalWrite (motor2Left, LOW);// Sets both the
digitalWrite (motor2Right, LOW);// motors to low
analogWrite (enable2, 100);
}
if (Channel2 < 1300) // Checks if Channel2 is lesser than 1300
{
digitalWrite (motor2Left, LOW);// Turns the left
digitalWrite (motor2Right, HIGH);// motor backward
analogWrite (enable2, 100);
}
if (Channel2 > 1500) // Checks if Channel2 is greater than 1500
{
digitalWrite (motor2Left, HIGH);// Turns the right
digitalWrite (motor2Right, LOW);// motor backward
analogWrite (enable2, 100);
}
}
