Mod Software v0.2.5

This is the sketch that runs whenever you turn your Mod on. Feel free to use it as a starting point for you own, or simply to restore your toy back to its original state.

This sketch sets up a serial console for you to interact with your toy without having to upload a new sketch. Once you connect to your toy over a serial connection (within the Arduino IDE, Hyperterminal, zterm, etc), it will accept several commands. Separate commands from their argument by a single comma:

  • l,x to set the LED

To set the LED to a power of 200:

l,200

To turn the LED off:

l,0
  • 0,x,1,x,2,x,-1,x,... to set a particular output (motor)

To turn all outputs on to 150:

-1,150

To turn output 2 to 220:

2,220
  • c to cycle through the patterns. This will return the current pattern number.
  • g to get the current pattern number.
  • s to stop all patterns and turn all outputs off and sets Powerlevel to 1.0 and Time to 1.0
  • r,x to run a particular pattern.

If the command begins with {, you can control all motors in a single command:

{25, 50, 100}

Will set motor 0 to 25, motor 1 to 50, and motor 2 to 100. Note that there is no time component to this command; it will run until something interrupts it, such as a stop command, or another {... command.

Run the first pattern:

r,0

You can adjust power and time settings with p,P,t, and T. All power and time adjustment commands will return the current power or time scale, with 1.0 being normal. A power scale of 1.5 means all patterns will run at 50% higher power than normal. A time scale of 0.75 means that all patterns will run 25% faster than normal.

  • p to decrease power.
  • P to increase power.
  • t to decrease pattern step time (run faster).
  • T to increase pattern step time.

Read an input:

i,0

The i command reads a given input channel on your Mod and prints that value to the console. Mods have two inputs, so i,0 and i,1 are the two options for now.

New from v0.2.2:

  • G get Powerlevel, returns Powerlevel without changing it first
  • v get Version Information, returns for example "Mod-Sketch v0.2.2"

New from v0.2.4:

  • U ... Play the User transmitted pattern, for example:

U 3,255 0 0 500, 0 0 255 500, 0 255 0 500 = 3 Entries, "First Motor 255, Second 0, Third 0, for 500ms", "First Motor 0, Second 0, Third 255, for 500ms", "First Motor 0, Second 255, Third 0, for 500ms"

New from v0.2.5:

  • u Returns current Userpattern
