Within the loop for checking the controls, we decide if a thumbstick is pointing forwards or backwards or is in the ‘stop’ range. Next we start listening for input on the Xbox One controller. First we make a connection over Bluetooth with the Firmata protocol.

Next we add the code behind (see code section for C# source code) of the main form.

įirst we add the XAML snippet (see code section for Xaml source code) in the mainform grid so we have some buttons.

And you will have to install the nuget package for Firmata. Note: If you start a new UWP app, do not forget to add the Bluetooth capability.

Just start the Windows Remote Arduino Experience app (available in the store and also works on a Windows 10 Mobile device).įirst you will have to connect to the already paired HC-6 Bluetooth module. And it can even be done without programming. So why am I using Firmata? because it’s easy. Note: due to the lack of quality of my Bluetooth module, I always lower the baudrate which is hardcoded inside the sketch, and set it to 9600. The Firmata sketch “StandardFirmata” is all we need on the Arduino! Just get it from the Arduino IDE examples and upload it (maybe you need to unpin the TX/RX first to complete the upload). The Bluetooth module I use only needs to be connected to the RX and TX port (cross the lines) and it needs 5 volt power and ground from the Arduino. Note: Each port on the Arduino Uno capable of PWM are marked with a tilde (the ~). Setting a value between 0 and 255 will result in running the motor VERY slow (stopped) or at high speed. These are ‘special’ pins which can generate a PWM signal. just setting these pins will result in nothing. If connected the other way around (the first one is set to LOW and the other to HIGH) the connected motor will run in the other direction.īut. If one is HIGH and the other LOW the motor will run in one direction. 7 and 8) are LOW, the motor will do nothing (it stops). These will be used for the direction of the motor. It must be clear that port 7 and 8 (and 9 and 10 for the other motor) are just regular GPIO port. And we connect the six lines (ENA, IN1-4 and ENB) to pin D10 till D5. We connect the ground and the 5 volts of the power supply to the Arduino.

See bullet 4 above)Ĭonnecting the motors – pin layout of ArduinoĬonnecting the Arduino is pretty straight-forward. To keeps things running (without blowing thins up, give them a common ground. Note: the controller has it’s own power supply.
