Hi I am working on a project that requires 4 IR sensors, and a Digital Compass. I managed to connect the 4 IR sensors to the A,B,C,D ports and read successfully from these; However I still need to connect my digital compass to the board.
I have a blue-tooth connected to the board as shown in one of the tutorials, and there is still one free port of Rx/Tx, the problem is that I don’t know how to read from these ports precisely. I can read stuff from the blue-tooth that gives me the reading from the IR sensors using the commands VA, VB etc etc. is there any command to read from the other TX/Rx port?
I am using a HMC6352 from sparkfun, I’m building a robot and need the compass in my robot for direction purpuses, is there any way I can connect the compass to the SSC-32 besides the A,B,C,D ports?
The compass is I2C, as I mentioned. You have the SSC-32 on your 'bot, but no processor? What are you going to do with the compass data. You must be processing it somewhere.
Are you perhaps controlling the SSC-32 with serial from a PC?
You can get a USB to I2C dongle from Sparkfun and others.
