Servo

Introduction

As a propulsion driver for the RoboMaster EP, the servo supports customized control abilities through the programming interfaces of the EP. The servo ensures minimal gear backlash, high control accuracy, and large output torque. Other uses include powering the robotic arm and supporting the DC gear motor mode, which allows users to build lifting structures.

The servo uses RS485 bus mode and is compatible with PWM mode. When the servo is used to drive the robotic arm, the system switches to RS485 bus mode automatically. When used independently, the servo can operate in either RS485 bus mode or PWM mode. The system automatically switches according to the input signal.

Servo PWM Port

The port pin is shown below:

1 2 3			4
485A/PWM 485B VCC-12V GND

The servo supports two control modes: angle mode and rate mode. The PWM signal has a frequency of 50 Hz and a duty cycle ranging from 2.5% to 12.5%.

Control Mode Duty Cycle Control Range

Angle Mode 2.5% to 12.5% 0° to 360°

Rate Mode	2.5% to 7.5% 49 to 0 rpm
	7.5% to 12.5% 0 to -49 rpm

LED Indicator Description for Servo

The LED indicator is used to indicate the status of the servo. Details are as follows:

LED Indicator Servo Status

Infrared Distance Sensor (TOF)

Introduction

The infrared distance sensor calculates the distance between a sensor and an object by measuring the time it takes an infrared light to reach the object and return to the sensor. The infrared distance sensor consists of an illumination unit, optical receiver, and signal processing system. The illumination unit emits a beam of modulated near-infrared light. When the beam of light is reflected by an object, the reflected beam will be directed through the optical receiver and converted into a current. The receiver transmits the generated electric signal to the signal processing system for demodulation and distance calculation.

The infrared distance sensor has a field-of-view (FOV) of 20° and measures the distance of objects within the FOV. If there are multiple objects at different distances inside the FOV, the measured distance will be within the range of the nearest object and the farthest object. The actual measurement data is related to the size ratio and reflectivity of the object. Users can learn more about the infrared distance sensor through practice.

With a measurement range of 0.1-10 meters, the infrared distance sensor accurately measures within a margin of error of 5%. The addition of programmable modules in Scratch also provides reliable distance measurement information. This enables the EP to sense its environment and avoid obstacles, deepening users' understanding of advanced autonomous driving principles.

1. CAN Bus Port

Connect to the robot via a CAN bus cable.

2. Serial Port

a) The serial signal supports a level of 3.3 V. b) The input voltage is 5-12.6 V.

Mounting the Infrared Distance Sensor

In addition to the gimbal, the infrared distance sensor can also be mounted on the chassis extension platform with the use of the TOF mounting bracket. If mounted on the front of the extension platform, the bracket must first be fixed to the straight connecting rod.

If the infrared distance sensor is required to be mounted on the rear of the EP, users must design their own parts and rearrange the position of the intelligent controller and infrared distance sensor without affecting the installation or connection of other parts.

1. To assemble a TOF module, use one M3-C screw to fix the infrared distance sensor to the TOF mounting bracket.

Firmware Update

Check the robot firmware version in Settings, then System, and then Firmware Update. If there is a new firmware version, use the RoboMaster app to update the firmware of the robot.

1. Make sure that all parts are connected, power on the robot, and check to make sure the battery level is above 50%.
2. Tap App, then System, and then Firmware Update. Follow the onscreen instructions to update the firmware. Make sure the mobile device is connected to the internet when downloading the firmware.
3. The robot tracks the progress of the update using audio prompts. Wait until the update is complete.

• The battery firmware is included in the robot firmware. Make sure to update the firmware of all batteries if you have several.
• Only start a firmware update if the battery level is above 50%.
• Note that while updating the firmware, the status indicators may blink abnormally (the gimbal may go limp if the EP is assembled into a Warrior form), and the robot may reboot.
• The robot and app may disconnect after updating. If this occurs, reconnect them.
• If you receive a prompt that newer firmware version is out of date, update and try again.
• When in Battle mode, make sure that all the robots are using the same firmware version.

Calibrating the Robot

If any of the following scenarios occur, recalibrate the robot in the RoboMaster app:

Warrior Form

a. The pitch angle is not horizontal after performing the gimbal self-test. b. The gimbal attitude cannot be controlled precisely. c. The pitch cannot rotate horizontally when the yaw is controlled separately. d. The gimbal drifts when there is no operation or when the operation is stopped. e. The robot moves involuntarily while rotating. f. The chassis is uncontrollable and the gimbal goes limp when warning prompts appear in the app. g. The motion controller has been installed or reinstalled.

Engineer Form

a. The robot moves involuntarily while rotating. b. The chassis cannot be controlled when warning prompts appear in the app. c. The motion controller has been installed or reinstalled.

The specific calibration steps are as below:

1. Open the RoboMaster app, tap on Settings, then System, and select Calibration.
2. Follow the steps in the app to calibrate.

Setting the PWM Ports

PWM (pulse width modulation) controls the duration of a high level of output during a certain period, and is broadly used to control LEDs, navigation gears, and more. The PWM port has a default duty cycle of 7.5% and a fundamental frequency of 50 Hz.

For LEDs, the PWM output rate ranges from 0% to 100%, with 0% corresponding to an LED's lowest brightness and 100% to its highest brightness. For navigation gears, the PWM output rate ranges from 2.5% to 12.5%.

You can set the navigation gear PWM output percentage based on the rotation angles you wish to control.

Pulse Width Servo Angle

Each time the custom program or Python program finishes running, the PWM port output signal will be set to its default setting, which is 50 Hz and the duty cycle is 7.5%.

Using the S-Bus Port

A remote controller that supports the S-Bus protocol can be used to control the robot by connecting to the S-Bus port of the motion controller. Users must prepare their own receiver and remote controller. It is recommended to use a Futaba R6303SB receiver.

Connection

Connect the S-Bus port of the motion controller to the S-Bus port of the receiver by using the 3-pin servo cable.

Usage

Make sure the remote controller has been linked with the receiver before use. Refer to the manual documents of the receiver for more information on linking methods.

The correspondence of control channels of the S-Bus port of the motion controller are shown below. Refer to the manual documents of the remote controller to complete the channel mapping between the receiver and remote controller.

Programming Customizable UI

The customizable UI system expands the input and output modes of a program. Users can create UI widgets that are used to represent the input and output processing information of a program.

To code a Python program, call the related interfaces to generate a UI widget and bind the UI widget with an event callback. After coding and debugging in the Lab section of the RoboMaster app, users can save a program as a customizable skill and use it in Solo or Battle mode.
