Basecam v3 Control with Arduino Uno
-
Hello!
I’m having a bit of trouble with controlling the Basecam controller with an Arduino. I used the same code as the example code on the bottom of the SimpleBGC 2.4 Serial Protocol Specification Guide, and to no avail. Currently, I am using an Arduino Uno and hooking up pin 1 (TX) and GND from the Arduino to RX and GND on the Basecam respectively. Any advice as to how I can make this work or any debug statements I can add into the code to test it? Do you think this is a hardware or a software problem? Thanks in advance! -
What FW do you have? there was problems with some FW but I think it should be now fixed.
It probably would be better to connect communication both ways. I do not exactly remember is this needed.
I used the serial protocol with 2.3 FW, but have not been using it for a while. Maybe I should try it again... -
This is a comment from my code, so I guess that I connected only send lines
Arduino GND -> SimpleBGC GND
Arduino TX -> SimpleBGC RX
Power Arduino separatly or via +5V from onboard FTDI connector
I think it was the first version of 2.4 that had problems with serial protocol, on later versions it should be fixed, but I have not tested.
Howdy, Stranger!
