Greetings POLOLU COMMUNITY,
My enquiry is for your guidance, formatting or example with my project:
PROJECT:
Adobe Flash AS3 UI sending TTL via AS3 Socket Class to a Virtual Com Port assigned to a Pololu Maestro Servo Controller.
PROJECT GOAL:
- Simulate a RC Radio Transmitter with a Adobe Flash UI in .SWF Format.
- AS3 UI for RC Servo Controllers & Robotics.
PROJECT FORMAT:
a. The Adobe Flash AS3 RC_Transmitter_UI.swf will:
- Graphically represent the Sticks & Knobs seen on “RC Radio Transmitters”
- Interpret the X & Y Coordinates of the UI Sticks
- Interpret the Value of UI Knobs or Pots
- Assign these values to Declarations as “Channels”, example “9 channel RC Transmitter”
- Send these Declarations as “TTL” via AS3 Socket Class
- I/O via AS3 Socket Class the “TTL” to a Pololu Software Virtual Com Port
- Resulting control of the Pololu Maestro Servo Controller.
- Thereafter you control your RC Robot or Airplane with Adobe Flash
PROJECT HARDWARE:
