Hello,
I am new to Wixel and have been reading through the forums and documentation, but I am still looking for some help with project I am working with.
Currently, I am using an Arduino Uno R3 and some infrared sensors to drive and maneuver a small vehicle. After I update the code in the Arduino and attach it to the vehicle, the vehicle drives itself, but I loose the ability to watch voltage values using the USB to serial communication of the Arduino IDE.
I would like to attach a Wixel shield to my Arduino and use the Serial App function to be able to monitor my voltage levels or other data over the Wixel wireless serial connection. My question is:
Is it possible to send a character from Arduino IDE serial monitor and modify the code in the Wixel Serial App program, so that the Wixel code captures that specific character and turns one of the Wixel digital outputs HIGH or LOW?
I don’t need the Arduino to respond to any serial commands, I just need the serial text from the Arduino board to get back to the serial monitor on the computer and I would like to use say the “S” key on the keyboard to turn a pin on the WIXEL to a logic high or low to trigger an interrupt on my Arduino board.
Would this be possible? Any information would be great.
Thanks.
