Storing values in Axon Microcontroller?
« on: January 02, 2010, 07:07:57 PM »
In order to calibrate my servo's positions, I need RoboRealm software AND (in order to get the exact "end" positions, like 700 is for centre, i require) HyperTerminal software...

The Problem: I cannot use both softwares at a time, because only 1 Software can use the same COM PORT at a time !

I have modified the Servo_Controller.c, so that when I press the button, Servo1 variable will store the first servo's position, and the next button pressed will store the next servo's position in Servo2 , and so on...

Now, I just want to know, what should I program to store values in variables, SUCH THAT they should remain even after I turn OFF the Microcontroller. (so that I can rprintf the stored values in the next run, while running only HyperTerminal)

Thanks..

The axon is based on an avr chip, so it most likely has some sort of eeprom which doesn't erase with loss of power.
Exactly how you would use it, I don't know as I don't own an axon.

As it turns out, the axon is based on the atmega640 which has 4kb of eeprom. (same for the axon 2)

If you get a second USB to serial adapter, you can use a different UART for each. I do this all the time for my stuff.
