About ARDUINO 

Arduino has an amazing comminity and popularity among the Makers for all good reasons, it’s friendly for makers and for everyone that starts in electronics or for anyone who wants to make a fast and easy prototyping project.

We share a common value on how working with electronics should be,  and we are happy to support the Arduino users that choose to work also with SOLO in a multitude of ways. 

 

Arduino Environment 1

Implement Your Own Algorithms

 

Analogue Control 

It is possible to make ARDUINO and SOLO working together in a very simple way by using Analogue voltages or PWM pulses to control the basic tasks.

It’s possible to read within our Blog the simplicity and how SOLO works in Analogue Control, using Potentiometers or using other input sources.  

ANALOGUE CONTROL Articles

Digital Control 

Using our Digital Protocol we are able to comunicate to any system with UART or USB port, on top of this communication layer we have built a simplified solution for ARDUINO Users called SOLO Motor Controllers ARDUINO Library that works with UART and CANopen protocols.

When you need more sophisticated control with ARDUINO compared to Analogue Controls, you can easily use our SOLO Motor Controllers ARDUINO Library, to implement your own ARDUINO Projects using wide range of actions that are offered by SOLO in the easiest and most practical way.

Important Note for ARDUINO UNO users

Whenever you want to program your ARDUINO UNO board through the ARDUINO IDE, YOU need to disconnect the UART_TX of SOLO from being connected to RX of ARDUINO UNO, by not doing this, you might get some errors in ARDUINO IDE during uploading the code. 

In ARDUINO UNO, there is only 1 line of UART which is shared between the UART to USB convertor of ARDUINO board itself which is also used for flashing the ARDUINO UNO board as well. 
To know more, read this post on ARDUINO website.

3- Write A few lines of codes using our library.
