Controlling 2 Servos with IMU
PostPosted: Sun Dec 01, 2013 2:14 pm     Reply with quote

Hey guys,

For my Mechatronics Final Project, I wanted to use an IMU for orientation recognition, and then 2 servo motors to counter the rotation on 2 axis to stabilize an object.

Hardware:

PIC 18F4520 (Controller)
IMU 3000 ADXL 345 Fusion board by Sparkfun
2 Futaba S3004 Servo Motors
4 AA Batteries
Logic Level Converter by Sparkfun
317T Voltage regulator
Various resistors/capacitors/wires

Note, in the code I end up not using the gyro because I think my IMU is broke as the IMU gyros will not respond, the device communicates over I2C but the data registers are always 0x00.

Code:
#include <18f4520.h> //Library for the Pic
#include <stdio.h>   //Library for erros
#include <string.h>  //Library for strings
#include <stdlib.h>  //Returns Library
#include <math.h>    //Math Library for Atan2 Functions

#fuses HS,NOLVP,NOWDT,PUT     //Pic18f4520 Fuses
#use delay(clock=20000000)    //20000000 Hz Core Clock

#use rs232(baud=115200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7)  //Serial Comms
#use i2c(master, sda=pin_C4, scl=pin_C3)                 //I2C Comms

#define INTS_PER_ISR 1                 //Setting the Timer Mode
#define Accel_W 0xA6                   //ADXL 345 Write Addr.
#define Accel_R 0xA7                   //ADXL 345 Read Addr.
#define Accel_D 0x32                   //ADXL 345 Data Addr.
#define Data_Mode 0x31                 //Mode to Config the Accel
#define PWR_Ctrl 0x2D

signed int16 accelResult[3];  //Accelerometer Readings
float Gx, Gy, Gz,pitch,roll;  //G Readings and Pitch/Roll Conversions
long Pdelay,Rdelay;           //Puse Length for the Servos
int8 int_count;               //Variable to Make to enable ISR

#int_timer0
void clock_isr()                       //Our interrupt function that goes off every 20 ms.
{
   if(--int_count==0)                  //IF we are somewhere in the main
   {
      int_count=INTS_PER_ISR;          //Resetting the switch
         Pdelay=-pitch*6+1500;         //Calculating the Pulse Width for the Angle of Pitch
         output_high(PIN_A3);          //Rise of the pulse
         delay_us(Pdelay);             //Width of the pulse
         output_low(PIN_A3);           //End of the pulse
         
         Rdelay=roll*9+1500;           //Calculating the Pulse Width for the Angle of Roll
         output_high(PIN_A4);          //Rise of the pulse
         delay_us(Rdelay);             //Width of the pulse
         output_low(PIN_A4);           //End of the pulse
   }
   set_timer0(53036);             //Offset to make sure we have an interrupt ever 20ms
}

void writeTo(int device, int toAddress, int val) { //Write Function
   i2c_start();                                    //Starting Comms
      i2c_write(device);                           //Device Register Address
      i2c_write(toAddress);                        //Param Register Address
      i2c_write(val);                              //Value to Set Register Too
   i2c_stop();                                     //Stop Comms
}

void readFrom(int device, int fromAddress, int result[]) {  //Read Data Func
   i2c_start();                                             //Starting Comms
      i2c_write(device);                                    //Device Register Add
      i2c_write(fromAddress);                               //Device Data Reg                                     
   i2c_start();                                             //Restart the Line
      i2c_write(Accel_R);                                   //Read Address
            result[0]=i2c_read();                           //X LB
            result[1]=i2c_read();                           //X HB

            result[3]=i2c_read();                           //Y HB
            result[4]=i2c_read();                           //Z LB
            result[5]=i2c_read(0);                          //Z HB
      i2c_stop();                                          //Stop Comms
}

void getAccelerometerReadings(int16 gyroResult[]) {        //Accel Result Func
   int buffer[6];                                          //Temp Var.
   readFrom(Accel_W,Accel_D,buffer);                             //Call readFrom Func
      accelResult[0]=make16(buffer[1],buffer[0])+15;       //X value + offset
      accelResult[1]=make16(buffer[3],buffer[2])+15;       //Y Value + offset
      accelResult[2]=make16(buffer[5],buffer[4])+18;       //Z Value + offset
}

void AccelInit() {                     //Setting up the Accel.
   writeTo(Accel_W,Data_Mode,0x09);   //Setting the Accel to 11 bit +/-4g
   delay_ms(150);                     //Delay just for safe Practice
   writeTo(Accel_W,PWR_Ctrl,0x08);   //Wake Accel Up and Set to Measure Mode.
   delay_ms(150);                    //Delay just for safe Practice
}
   
void main() {

   AccelInit();            //Set up the Gyros
   int_count = INTS_PER_ISR;     //ISR switch on
   set_timer0(53036);                   //Offset to make sure we have an interrupt ever 20ms 
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL | RTCC_DIV_8); //Setting up the internal timer, but with a prescale of /8
   enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER0);            //using Timer 0
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);                //Global Interrupt

   while(true) {
       
      getAccelerometerReadings(accelResult);    //Calling the Func. To read Accel
      Gx=((float)(accelResult[0]));             //Converting to float
      Gy=((float)(accelResult[1]));             //Converting to float
      Gz=((float)(accelResult[2]));             //Converting to float
      roll=(atan2((Gy)/256,(Gz-256)/256)+PI)*360/(2*PI)*2;  //Calculating roll from accel.
         if( roll > 360)                        //Changing the Orientation (you may not need this).
            roll-=360;       
      roll=roll-88;                             
      pitch=(atan2((Gx)/256,(Gz-256)/256)+PI)*360/(2*PI)*2; //Calculating Pitch from accel.
         if( pitch > 360)  {                    //Changing the Orientation (you may not need this).
            pitch-=720;
         }

      printf("%f",pitch);     //Printing the Pitch
      printf(",");   
      printf("%f",roll);      //Printing the Roll
      printf("\n\r");

}
}


Again not sure if I did it the best way, but it works and it's fairly decent. If anyone has any questions please let me know, and I can try to answer them to the best of my ability.
