Quick post with some notes, latest tests.
(1)
This code:
- CODE: SELECT_ALL_CODE
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.print('U');
Serial.print(1);
}
void loop()
{
delay (10);
}
Generates this weird behavior:
Motor makes a high pitch sound without turning actually ( just vibration ).
The sound slowly transforms into a lower pitch over 5-8 secs.
Then the shaft starts turning erratically first - for 2 sec, then into a constant spin .. approx. 3-5 rot per sec I would say.
It keeps this constant turning as long as I let it.
It seems like it starts at a too high frequency that the motor can't read, for some reason the freq. decreases and settles to something that by some chance the motor can produce.
If I remove the delay(10) form the loop, I get a short jerk on the motor, and nothing after that.
Even more weird:
If I move this to serial1 .. nothing happens. Dead in the water.
Don't know if I should continue with this.

I don't quite understand what do I need to do with the UC00A
Please connect the UC00A to Arduino Mega.
Is the UC00A supposed to be connected to Arduino ? and while connected should it be attached to an USB on the computer ?
the UC00AA isn't recognized at all by WIN7 , I don't get the new device detected.
So to go through this once more: Arduino should send some Serial to ... lets say Serial1. and UC00A should read that .. and then read that in the computer ?
Or while UC00A is connected to the computer read output withe serial read on Arduino ?
I can't make sense of it. Then I don't really know how to use the Realterm ... step by step instructions will be the only way till I figure it out. To be sincere, I don't really want to learn this too.
Not that I know to much of anything else.
The Arduino board serial print seems to be working. I see for Serial in Serial Monitor the commands that I am sending.
One more thing:
Serial1 connected to SD02B. Power is OFF on SD02B.
The power led on SD02B blinks with what I presume to be TX data being fed into the SD02B.
Same thing with Serial.
So this kind of tells me that Serial1 is working.
Did I mentioned that I am using a converted PSU as power supply for the SD02B ? Is there anything wrong with that ? I can't imagine.
Not so short post after all.
Bought the SD02B and UC00A from robotshop. Will do RMA through them. They pay for shipping and stuff. Don't know what this means to you.
It's 2:40am here. Got to catch some sleep.
Thanks for helping me. Much appreciated.
