UART Communication
UART Communication
In order to become more sophisticated with our motion control, we need a way to quantify the 'goodness' of our control algorithms and gain values. To do this, we need to be able to examine values collected by the PSoC more closely. In this video, we learn how to set up UART communication between the PSoC and the computer, so that we can use the computer to more closely examine values collected by the PSoC.
In this video, we learn how to send values from the PSoC to the computer. We learn how to use Python to save those values first in an array, then in a text file. Finally, we plot the values in Excel to see the motion of the rack and pinion with our Proportional control from last time.
To complete this lab activity, make a video that includes the following in one video:
