Gretta Mimic

The Mimic program for a robotic interface named Gretta.

This project is designed for Arduino Mega 2560.

I personally use PlatformIO(+Atom) to compile and upload code. A platformio.ini file is included.

The IR remote

Using an IR remote you can record and play move sequences

Assuming the following remote layout:

	⬆
⬅	K	➡
	⬇
1	2	3
4	5	6
7	8	9
*	0	#

Controls:

• Press OK once at the start to begin

• Hold # to change mode (record/play+pause)

  In record mode:

  • Press OK to record a frame (autoincrements frameId)
  • Press or hold > and < to change frame number (frameId)
  • Press /\ and \/ to change frame time

  In play/pause mode:

  • Press OK to pause/play
  • Press or hold > and < to change frame number (frameId)

• Hold * to check (ping) online motors

• Hold 2 to turn all torque off

• Hold 5 to clear the movie

• Hold 8 to toggle loop playing

• Press 0 to stop any action

• Hold 0 at any time to reset via GPIO pinReset+RESET (pull to ground)

NOTE: Disconnect the pinReset/RESET pin if uploading code!
