1. AdMoVeo in Processing

Together with the IDuino firmware (an Arduino sketch uploaded to the Arduino board), this class allows you to control the AdMoVeo robot from Processing: Controlling all the actuators (LED's, motors, buzzer etc) and receiving input events from all the sensors (distance sensors, light sensors, sound sensors and line readers etc).

1.1. AdMoVeo

1.1.1. Constructor

AdMoVeo(PApplet parent, String name)

Create a proxy to an AdMoVeo robot running the IDuino firmware. it uses a default baud rate of 57600 to communicate with the robot.

parent

the Processing sketch creating this AdMoVeo robot (i.e. "this").

name

the name of the serial device associated with the AdMoVeo robot.

1.1.2. Access to devices

1.1.2.1. Arduino

getArduino()

Gets the Arduino object used by this AdMoVeo robot.

Returns

the Arduino object.

1.1.2.2. Sensors

AnalogSensor getFrontDistanceSensor()

Gets the reference to the front distance sensor of the robot.

Returns

the reference to the front distance sensor.

AnalogSensor getLeftDistanceSensor()

Gets the reference to the left distance sensor of the robot.

Returns

the reference to the left distance sensor.

AnalogSensor getRightDistanceSensor()

Gets the reference to the right distance sensor of the robot.

Returns

the reference to the right distance sensor.

  19         if(sensor == admoveo.getLeftDistanceSensor()){
  20         bgcolor = newValue/4;
  21         admoveo.getBlueLed().setPower(bgcolor);
  22     }
