5. APC220/Bluetooth with PC radio data communication
In order to install a communication link between the PC and Asuro we
need a dongle. We decided to use the RP6v2 Programmer adapter
(WT Dongle).
For wireless communication from the PC we prefer the APC220 radio
data module or a Master Bluetooth module. These modules are modest
in energy consumption and easy to install, which are convincing de-
tails in choosing the components for robotic designs.
5.1 Setup for the wireless PC-communication link
Frequency and baud-rate for the APC220-modules will be setup at
standard values with the help of the WT-dongle. For this purpose a
special software for the WT-dongle has been written in Visual Basic
(VB), which provides us with an easy setup. This software may be
found in the APC-220 application’s software.
Connect the WT-dongle with the PC by USB-cable. Additionally the
RP6v2 programmer adapter requires the installation of a driver soft-
ware. The most recent driver will be found at the RP-robot’s section in
our website.
The APC220- respectively Bluetooth-module is to be inserted at the
WT-dongle. Use the Visual Basic program APC-220 application to setup
the APC-220 and to control the robot.
