I am a retired Industrial Engineer. I have programmed PLC Controls for decades. I have good learning/Comprehension skills. I've been trying to learn C++ basics and concepts and keep running into "how to" videos from people who have no ability to Teach. Rachel is the first of MANY to break things down and cover EVERYTHING. You write on the screen and explain what "it does" and "why we do this" .......with others, I keep finding myself going out on the Web to find definitions and explanations for terminology and concepts they ignore....so frustrating. Thank you Rachel.

I was a controls engineer for 45+ years and also taught industrial controls and PLC's at the local community college. You have a very nice teaching style, good job. I just found your channel so what I'm about to say you might have already addressed in another video, but when using Arduino, I tell people to never use the delay() function because the delay() function literally stops the program from executing code. So...if you set a delay(3000) 3-seconds and there is code below the delay(3000) that needs to be serviced during that 3-sec. delay, it will not get serviced. I recommend using the millis() or micros() function and setting a duty cycle with a bit of math for current time and previous time. That way the program keeps "scanning' the loop() function even during the delay.
@RachelDeBarrosLive
@RachelDeBarrosLive 4 ай бұрын
You're absolutely right! 👍 Except for simple programs, I usually stick with millis(). I do have a video dedicated to using millis and another one for using interrupts. But I can't deny that delay is an easy concept for beginners that have little to no coding experience to understand, so that's why you see them in all my beginner videos like this one. I have another millis video coming out using a PIR sensor to orchestrate LEDs, servos, motors and mp3 players in March! Stay tuned!

@@RachelDeBarrosLive Thanks for the reply Rachel. I found your millis() video and your interrupt video. Very well done. I'll be very interested in the mp3 player. I'm doing the research for animating a Moebius 1:6 scale Lost in Space robot and already have sound files so I'll be interested in how [you] do the mp3 player. I'm looking for one that I can chose what sound track I want to play. My plan is to have everything RC controlled. That's all new ground for me, but it's so much fun!!!! I'll be watching. Great job!!! I'm so glad I found your channel. 😀😀

I randomly came across this video by following the "KZfaq rabbit hole." I have absolutely zero experience with the Arduino- I've never even seen one in person. I only know of their existence because some people make projects with them in amateur radio (my main hobby). Plus, I'm in my early 50s, so I don't soak up information as well as younger people. However, there wasn't a single thing you presented in this video that I didn't fully understand. Your teaching style is outstanding and you made all the gears click in my brain- and some of those gears are pretty rusty! That's a subscribe for me!

First, great video and explanation! Let me give a few remarks on coding: 1. as another commentator already stated, using #define constants instead of variables for "never changing" or "magic number" values, like pin associations, or the motor's low speed (magic number 70), is better. 2. inherited from C++ (Arduino language is basically a superset of C++), you can use the shortcut var += increment instead of var = var + increment. Works with all arithmetic operators (-=, *=, /=,...). 3. try to avoid delay(). The processor is literally delaying then, means it does nothing else. You'll get in trouble if you want to do something concurrently then. 4. I'd have the movement of the motor put into a function, like void turn( int direction, int speed ), so you reduce three lines of code into one. Same with stop(). Re my point 3: I've almost nobody seen to address this, albeit this is basic microprocessor programming knowledge I learned almost 40 years ago 😊(Yes I'm an Old White Man, and credits to Professor Reichert of Engineering school Aalen who was a great teacher). I wrote a tiny class that works as a timer and executes code after a specified delay or in specified intervals, or tells you if a delay is over instead of halting the program. Also you can break the granularity down from milliseconds to microseconds, because you can use the micros() function instead of the millis(). The caveat is that this method adds some imponderability to the programs, so you can't predict when exactly which function is executed, because that depends on if some function is busy longer than the time checking interval is. But great explanation of the Arduino's power capabilities! Overloading ports is one reason why newbies fry their Arduinos and then end up frustrated.

I like the Drok motor controller. That's what I use. It uses FET's, and it doesn't have a heatsink, and from what I've experienced, it doesn't hardly get warm, even with heavy use. I think it has opto-isolation, and that's one reason why it has a separate ground. It seems to be a pretty trouble free controller. Also, the wire receptacles are removable. This makes it very easy to wire, if the board is already mounted in something. You can attach the wires to the receptacle, then plug it back in to the board. It also makes it easy to switch channels, if you want to test the other channel. The power input receptacle is also removable too. If some accident happens to your board, you can easily swap it out, and the project remains wired - aside from the control wires. I like that there are lights for both the control section, and the drive section, so you can tell which sections have power. Also, the positive and negative pins, for the control section are joined, so you can daisy chain & power another board, with the free pins.

For that last example if you want to avoid the case of double zeros or double ones stopping the motor, change the first 3 lines of your loop: void loop() { int spinDir = random(0,2); digitalWrite(IN1pin, spinDir); digitalWrite(IN2pin, 1-spinDir); … Now whatever spinDir is set to (0 or 1), the second pin will be set to 1 minus that value: so if it picks 0, the second pin will be 1 - 0 = 1. If it picks 1, second pin will be 1 - 1 = 0. Any time you need to flip between 2 numbers but don’t want to waste time checking the current value, perhaps in an interrupt routine, just add the 2 numbers together and set the value to that sum minus the current variable. This will always work as long as you initialize the variable to one of the two values. So if you need a variable K to flip between 13 or 77, just do: … int K = 13; // initialize variable … K = 90 - K; // flip to other value … So the first time it flips: 90 - 13 = 77 Second flip: 90 - 77 = 13 Etc…

This is absolutely fantastic info! Where have you been all of my electronics life?! I have done so much research and experimenting with so many motors and controllers over the years for various projects and have always been stuck with using stepper motors which I thought were the only way to achieve some kind of accurate control. As you may know stepper motors are quite limited in variety, (especially when it comes to smaller sizes), and these are also relatively 'under powered' for many applications. This type of control opens up a whole world of possibilities. Thank you so very much for your time and effort. Awesome video.

Not sure if you mentioned it or not, but I believe if you bring both IN1 & IN2 high, that provides a braking function (pretty common with h-bridges). In fact, I think your random function can cause the motor to brake when both are high and you can see that behavior in your video.

Yep, indeed it does! I can't remember if it's in this edited down version of the live stream or not but that's a good point to include in the tutorial on the website for everyone. Thanks for the catch!

Basically this would be a good video if you show how to control the wiper motor at delay various speeds between low and high and then you have the shut-off circuits that make sure the wiper blades shut off and the blades are in the right position. This should be super great video with just with simple things like this, especially the time delay on an older wiper motor.
