HB-25 program?

Iguanaman · 2019-07-13 17:54

I an working with the program HB-25 motor controller object by C J v1.4 . I am trying to find the pin out for this program but can find nothing. The documentation given is just not getting through to me. What am I missing???? 13 july 2019(sat)

That code (CJ_HB25_014.spin) is a library object. You'll need to specify that file in your program's OBJ section and call its methods, as needed. The pin from your propeller to the HB-25's 'W' input gets set when you call the object's config method (see it's definition below) with that pin as the first parameter... So, you get to choose which propeller pin to use.

HB-25 pins (you need 'W' to control the HB-25 and 'B' for ground). In this case R is not connected...
From the CJ_HB25_014.spin code:

config's definition:

Your code:
CON
    thePin = 14        ' Propeller pin 14 (use any pin that you desire)
    theMode = 0      ' single mode
    theState = 0       ' manual refresh
OBJ
    hb : CJ_HB25_014.spin



PUB

    hb.config(thePin, theMode, theState)
    ' other code

Thank you for your input. I have used the HB-25 (cube) and have made it work more or less. What you are telling me is that this program is called up-on by another program. A program that I do not know how to wright???? I will try the program that you have given me. I understand the electronic hook up to the HB-25. It is the software that is my down fall. Thank you for your software input. I will try my best to use your program to make it go. Thant you very much for your guidance. You are the flashlight in my darkness. 17 july 2019(wen).

Iguanaman,

That Object has 4 PUBlic Methods that can be used by your program.
Config
Set_Motor1
Set_Motor2
Pulse_Motors

pub config(pin1, mode1, state1)  'pin, 0-single 1-dual, 0-manual 1-auto refresh, returns ID of refresh cog

pub set_motor1(pulse1)  'set first HB-25     [1000-2000]

pub set_motor2(pulse2) 'set second HB-25(ignored in single mode)     [1000-2000]

pub pulse_motors    'send pulse(s) to HB-25(s)

Pulse_Motors is the only Method that doesn't use Parameters.

Config needs a Pin number, Mode (0 for single or 1 for dual), and a State (0 for manual or 1 for auto refresh)
Set_Motor1 and Set_Motor2 need a Pulse rate from 1000 to 2000 since the code will limit values to this range.

  pulse1 #>= 1000            'limit pulses to valid values
  pulse1 <#= 2000

Referring to the code segment dgately posted.
The CONstants section are for any values that will not change such as Pin numbers.
The OBJects section is for any Objects that your program will use such as Parallax Serial Terminal.
HB will be what your program uses for the HB25 Object, but the actual Object is called CJ_HB25_014.spin
Your program will then have a series of PUBlic or PRIvate Methods depending on what it is doing.
PUBlic Methods can be called by another program will PRIvate Objects can only be used in the same program they are in.

I like to create a Setup or Initialization Method.

      waitcnt (clkfreq/2 + cnt)     ' 1/2 second delay

CONstants allow you to quickly change the code.

HB-25 program?
