Once the program is loaded, using the Serial monitor do some basic tests, for example: available ()) // "keep receiving".ĭelay ( 10) // Delay added to make thing stable char c = BT. available ()) // receive data if available.


Likewise, AT commands can be sent from the serial monitor to the HC-06 module. When arrived, data are written in the Serial Monitor.
#ARDUINO CAMERA SLIDER REDDIT CODE#
Then comes the main body of code that simply waits for data coming from the BT. begin ( 9600) // HC-06 Usually default baud-rate
#ARDUINO CAMERA SLIDER REDDIT BLUETOOTH#
# include SoftwareSerial BT ( 10, 11) // RX, TX String command = "" // Stores response of bluetooth device void setup ()īT.

To start, include the Library Software Serial, setting the “BT” variable to the new serial port. The next step will be to write a simple code in order to test, program and initialize the HC-O6: Step 2: Testing and configuring the HC-06 In our case here, we will use the pins 10 and 11 of UNO (Tx, Rx respectively). A simple way to get around this little problem (if your project does not use many GPIOs UNO) is to use a “SW serial port” through the library SoftwareSerial. When using “Serial 0” inputs (the only HW Serial port at UNO), it is very important to remember that the HC-06 may not be physically connected to pins 0 and 1 during the program load, because the USB port also use the same serial. Usually the HC-06 should be connected directly to pins 0 and 1 Arduino (“Serial 0”): His transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) pins can be connected directly to the UNO, with no need of voltage dividers as we see in the case of ESP8266. The BT module is powered with 5V which makes it to be easily connected to an Arduino UNO for example. The BLE modules are the only ones that can be connected to an iPhone, because unfortunately Apple does not provide support to BT 3.0.įor the projects discussed here, I will use an HC-06 that is very popular and cheap (Bye, bye, Iphone! Androids are kings here!).

More recently, appeared the HC-08 and HC-10 working with technology BT 4.0 or BLE ( “Bluetooth Low Energy”). If you did, please vote for it in the Microcontroller Contest!Īlso, let me know what you think of it and what you would have done differently in the comments section.In the market is very common to find “Master-Slave” BT 3.0 modules as the HC-05 and “Slave” ones as the HC-06. I hope that you enjoyed this Instructable. This is done to prevent the camera from dropping (if at an angle or vertical) as soon as the movement is finished and the motors are de-energised. Once the pushbutton is pushed, the motors are enabled and locked, and a countdown runs for 3 seconds before starting the movement.Īt the end of the movement, the motors remain locked in the end position until the pushbutton is again pushed to release them. This allows you to set any starting positions and line up objects for the shot. The slider then goes into a "push to start" waiting screen. You can adjust each option with the rotary pushbutton and push to confirm the values. Within each mode, you have a parameter screen that asks you to input the distance, angle, time and directions for the movements. You use the rotary pushbutton to move the pointer between options and then push to select one. The main menu allows you to choose between the pan, rotate, pan and rotate and object tracking modes. When you plug the slider in, you're briefly shown a splash screen, and you're then taken to the main menu. The 3D printer I've used to print some of the plastic components and housings is a Creality Ender 3 Pro. The parts list for this build is quite lengthy, but a lot of these components you may having lying around if you do have an old 3D printer.
