How does the Ubtech Alpha 1S system works?

Related to this topic.
I want to ask how the system works Ubtech alph 1S
I’m working on an Alpha 1S robot, I think how to move controllers from a mobile application to raspberry pi?

I asked, how does Robot Alpha 1s work from applications that are controlled using Android, then Bluetooth between mobile phones is connected to Bluetooth which is in Alpha 1S. then the STM32F103RDT6 drives a 12HC UBT servo. I want to know the function functions in the application. then want to move to raspberry pi 3. can you help me

Unfortunately, that is something you would need to ask the manufacturer.
They have not disclosed this information as the Alpha 1S is not intended to work with Raspberry Pi.

Some users have use the Raspberry Pi to control another Alpha version, the Pro version. They are using the Bluetooth protocol:

That could be something you can work with.

what is the manufacturer’s address name that can be asked about the development of the Controller via raspberry pi 3.

and I want to ask about the Bluetooth Communication protocol, where I can learn about it.

then I want to understand what function functions are used in the Alpha 1S application on android.

then whatever is sent from Android bluetooth to Alpha 1s robot so that the Alpha 1s robot can do the action.

In the second PDF I sent previously, you can find all the commands to be used with the Bluetooth to control the Alpha 1S. You can simply download a Bluetooth serial APP, connect to the Alpha 1S via Bluetooth and use the commands to test them. Then, program your Raspberry Pi and use the bluetooth to send the same commands that are listed in the documentation.

can i move a program form Alpha 1s in google playstore to raspberry pi 3

Hey @danielsimarmata

If you install Android on your Raspberry Pi, then you could.

Hi @danielsimarmata

You can use some tutorials on Internet, such as https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/android-raspberry-pi/

I ask what alpha 1s from Google Playstore are as useful? whether as sending commands or only calling functions from Alpha 1S robots

Alpha1 Series Bluetooth communication protocol565212(1).pdf (156.2 KB)

can you explain this Alpha1 Series Bluetooth Communication Protocol. how does the system work? and implementing the code on the STM32F103RDT6 board on the Alpha 1s robot.

Hey @danielsimarmata

At this point, I would suggest that you read all the user guide and make your research on how to control something over Bluetooth. Bluetooth is just another way to communicate between devices, think it as a serial link but wireless.

The Alpha 1S Bluetooth protocol is pretty standard. You have all the information in the files I sent previously that shows which bytes you need to send in order to test and move the Alpha 1S.

You can start your research by reading the guides and files I sent you, and then take a look at some tutorial online on what is Blueooth and how to use a bluetooth link:

which file you send shows which byte needs to be sent to test and move Alpha 1s.

are there any sources that I can learn. Please guide me. yesterday I tried bluetooth testing to check the Alpha 1s battery through Raspberry pi via https://github.com/alpha-hacks/alpha-luetooth. and I want to be able to control his movements through raspberry pi 3. thank you

how to open the file.hts on the Alpha 1s robot?
what editor do you use?
thank you

Hey.

Please refer to this link to learn on the Bluetooth protocol:

The project you want to do does need knowledge in Raspberry Pi and Bluetooth. If you do not have any experience with these, I strongly suggest you to start simple, by the basics and then work your way up to controlling the Alpha 1S.

You can find a lot of tutorials online on how to do robotics with a Raspberry Pi. You can start up with a Raspberry Pi learning kit, such as the following:

to connect raspberry pi 3 with the Alpha 1s robot you can check the battery. the problem is to send command orders from Raspberry Pi to Alpha 1s robots, such as walking, dancing and so on. thank you for your response.

recently there are some alpha 1s frame and servo only on market, for around 35 euro. and I am planning to buy one and use an esp32 or raspberry pi zero to control it. I have the pdf of servo manual if anyone need it please leave your email. btw the manual is in Chinese but you could simply google translate or ask me.

Hello! Which of these (www.bestadvisers.co.uk/robot-dog-toys ) robots can you recommend for 6yo child?
