Bought 2 pieces. Smart Motor Drive Duo60
Want to make a car.
The following function desired.
In the run to the right, the left wheels run more slowly than the right wheel.
In the run to the left wheels run faster than the right wheel.
At run straight on both wheels run the same speed.
The same goes straight backwards.

Will use Receiver:

Is there some here that will help with some code for the Arduino Board Mega2560 R3.
Do have absolutely no experience with C ++
But I can do some code in FlowCode but not enough to get my car to,
running from Turnigy 9XR PRO Radio Transmitter.
Turnigy 9XR PRO is code for car management !

Basic code

                                         the MDDS60 analog pin should get 0 input upon start
      analogWrite(an2,0);  //thus we need to send 0 value at the beginning delay(1000);

Hi run,

If you're planning to use MDDS60 with RC remote control, you don't need any extra controller. Just plug and play. You can refer to MDDS60 Quick Start Guide for connection.

Thanks.

Hi Idris
I want to run a microcontroller.
Want to learn Ardino C ++
Therefore, it would be nice if I had some basic code that can run.
And even can add multiple C ++ code to the device.

Hi run,

I'm assuming the connection between Arduino and MDDS60 is for PWM with Microcontroller: Independent Both (2nd photo in MDDS60 Quick Start Guide).

You can try the following code:

CODE: SELECT_ALL_CODE

int DIG1 = 7; // Arduino pin 7 is connected to MDDS60 pin DIG1.
int DIG2 = 4; // Arduino pin 4 is connected to MDDS60 pin DIG2.
int AN1 = 6; // Arduino pin 6 is connected to MDDS60 pin AN1.
int AN2 = 5; // Arduino pin 5 is connected to MDDS60 pin AN2.

void setup()
{
  pinMode(DIG1, OUTPUT); // Set Arduino pin 7 (DIG1) as output.
  pinMode(DIG2, OUTPUT); // Set Arduino pin 4 (DIG2) as output.
  pinMode(AN1, OUTPUT); // Set Arduino pin 6 (AN1) as output.
  pinMode(AN2, OUTPUT); // Set Arduino pin 5 (AN2) as output.

  delay(5000); // Delay for 5 seconds.
}

void loop()
{
  // Controlling motor 1.
  analogWrite(AN1, 100); // Set motor 1 speed less than half. Max is 255.
  digitalWrite(DIG1, LOW); // Motor 1 start moving for 2s.
  delay(2000);
  digitalWrite(DIG1, HIGH); // Motor 1 move to another direction for 2s.
  delay(2000);
  analogWrite(AN1, 0); // Stop motor 1.

  delay(1000); // Delay for 1s

  // Controlling motor 2.
  analogWrite(AN2, 100); // Set motor 2 speed less than half. Max is 255.
  digitalWrite(DIG2, LOW); // Motor 1 start moving for 2s.
  delay(2000);
  digitalWrite(DIG2, HIGH); // Motor 1 move to another direction for 2s.
  delay(2000);
  analogWrite(AN2, 0); // Stop motor 2.

  delay(1000); // Delay for 1s
}

Thanks.

HI Idris

Many, many thanks Idris..
Now I have something basic that works and that I can build on codes;-)

Hi sun, glad to hear that.

You also can refer to Let’s Arduino Control Your SmartDriveDuo-60 tutorial for other method.

Thanks.

I bought SmartDriveDuo60 MDDS60
And want to use FlowCode coder to control MDDS60.
MDDS60UsersManual:

Please see here!
Page No: 2
Page No: 20

There are different Input Mothes
Analog/PWM Input Mode - Page No: 18
Simplified Serial Mode - Page No: 21
Packetized Serial Mode - Page No: 23

Is there anyone here that will help me get an output to MDDS60 from
FlowCode, which is attached here!
