Can someone help with my Galileo Gen 2 analog pin set up. Im lost...

[DMcPh]

On the Galileo Gen 2 arduino board. How do i utilize the analog pins? I have used up pins 2 through 9. Using a 4x4 keypad, a user will enter a code and the servo motor will turn 180 degrees. unlocking a door.

Please show me what librarys i need to install because i found softPMW and softPMWtimer online and it didnt help. It gives me a "not in directory error"

[FTinetti]

What IDE are you using/how are you developing your code?

Fernando.

[DMcPh]

I am using Arduino IDE. Code is written in C++.

[FTinetti]

Plase send the sketch you are using and please copy the error (or just send the screenshot)

Why do you want to use PWM? Pls send the servo motor details you are trying to use.

Fernando.

[DMcPh]

OK i will post sketch after this. My instructor said that is the only way to enable the usage of pin A0-A5. I have used up all the pins up on the base shield that comes with the grove starter it plus, attaching a 4x4 Keypad to pins 2 through 9. only pins left are is pin 10 through 13 but they arent accessible with the shield. i will post the images and sketch right after this.

THIS IS THE ERROR CODE

Arduino: 1.6.0 (Windows 8), Board: "Intel® Galileo Gen2"

THIS IS THE ERROR CODE

[DMcPh]

This is the base shield with the pins.

[FTinetti]

C:\Users\BRUIZZR\Documents\Arduino\libraries\SoftPWM/SoftPWM_timer.h:22:20: fatal error: avr/io.h: No such file or directory

From this error it seems to be that SoftPWM_timer.h depends on avr/io.h which in turn is AVR-dependent, so think it will not possible to use in Intel Galileo...

I do not understand

"

My instructor said that is the only way to enable the usage of pin A0-A5

"

did your instructor explain why?

A0-A5 are "special" in the sense they have ADC, but they can be used as regular "digital" pins... at least in Arduino and I think it would be possible in Galileo too...

Fernando.

[DMcPh]

Well he says that i cannot just plug the attachment into the pin and expect it to work without the proper library that enables those pins to be accessible. He sent me this link as a reference in order to download the library.

That URL has rather confusing content/s:

a) Pins A0-A5 can be used as digital pins without anything else, no libraries needed, no hardware needed.

b) Pins A0-A5 are not "automatically" available for PWM, as indicated in that URL. However, I do not understand the relationship between PWM and a blinking LED... digital pins and signals are (mostly) used for a blinking LED... or maybe I'm missing something.

Related to some previous questions:

a) Why do you need to use PWM? What is the hardware you have to control via PWM?

b) Please send the details of the servo motor you are trying to control.

Fernando.

[FTinetti]

Replying to myself just to confirm that analog pins can be used as regular dgital pins.

Sketch:

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board

void setup() {

// initialize digital pin 13 as an output.

pinMode(14, OUTPUT);

}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever

void loop() {

digitalWrite(14, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)

delay(1000); // wait for a second

digitalWrite(14, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW

delay(1000); // wait for a second

}

Result (A0 = digital pin 14):

[DMcPh]

I do not neccessarily have to use PWM? The servo im using is just like any other servo doesnt really require any special attention. I see how that URL can be confusing. However my instructor just responded to me this evening with another link they may work.

Here is the link.

[FTinetti]

hmmmm... moving target... kind of...

If

I do not neccessarily have to use PWM? The servo im using is just like any other servo doesnt really require any special attention.

then you should try a servo library (it's documented as a supported library at https://www.arduino.cc/en/ArduinoCertified/IntelGalileoGen2 Arduino - IntelGalileoGen2)... now I'm lost...

Fernando.

[DMcPh]

I have found plenty of servo library's and all there examples show connections to pin 0 through 9 none on the Analogs. The LED demonstration was cool but how would you edit that code to set a "Servo" on the analog port A0, A1, etc.?

Here is a servo example if you could point out in this sketch what needs to be adjusted in the void() function so that i can use analog pins please show me. I will make the adjustment in the sketch and then test whether or not they work. THank you..

// Sweep

// Darwynn McPherson mailto:dmcp7600@students.vsu.edu dmcp7600@students.vsu.edu

// This example code is in the public domain.

# include

const int buttonPin = 2;

const int buttonPin2 = 4;

int buttonState = 0;

int buttonState2 = 0;

Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo

// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created

int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position

void setup()

{

myservo.attach(5); // attaches the servo on pin 5 to the servo object

pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);

pinMode(buttonPin2, INPUT);

}

void loop()

{

buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

buttonState2 = digitalRead(buttonPin2);

if(buttonState == HIGH && pos < 180){

myservo.write(pos++); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'

delay(5); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position

}

if(buttonState2 == HIGH && pos > 3){ // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees

myservo.write(pos--); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'

delay(5); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position

}

}

[FTinetti]

Just following the example of the LED, replace

myservo.attach(5); // attaches the servo on pin 5 to the servo object

by

myservo.attach(14); // attaches the servo on pin 14 = A0 to the servo object,

and, as the comment indicates connect the servo to A0.

HTH,

Fernando.

[DMcPh]

Sir i have just tried this and no progress. The servo doesnt turn at all. Here is the adjustment i made in the setup function.

# include

const int buttonPin = 2;

const int buttonPin2 = 4;

int buttonState = 0;

int buttonState2 = 0;

Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo

// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created

int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position

void setup()

{

myservo.attach(14); // attaches the servo on pin A0 to the servo object

pinMode(14, OUTPUT);

pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);

pinMode(buttonPin2, INPUT);

}

[FTinetti]

Please try first the basic example found at

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Sweep https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Sweep

and remember to use 14 instead of 9 in the code as well as connect the servo wire to A0

use exactly the example with just that change, do not add

pinMode(14, OUTPUT);

please send a picture of your hardware setup

HTH,

Fernando.
