Commands 8 - 13 Mixed Mode Compatibility Commands
The following commands are mix mode commands used to control speed and turn for dierential
steering. Before a command is executed, both valid drive and turn data packets are required
Once RoboClaw begins to operate the motors turn and speed can be updated independently.
8 - Drive Forward
Drive forward in mix mode. Valid data range is 0 - 127. A value of 0 = full stop and 127 = full
forward.
Send: [Address, 8, Value, CRC(2 bytes)]
Receive: [0xFF]
9 - Drive Backwards
Drive backwards in mix mode. Valid data range is 0 - 127. A value of 0 = full stop and 127 = full
reverse.
Send: [Address, 9, Value, CRC(2 bytes)]
Receive: [0xFF]
10 - Turn right
Turn right in mix mode. Valid data range is 0 - 127. A value of 0 = stop turn and 127 = full
speed turn.
Send: [Address, 10, Value, CRC(2 bytes)]
Receive: [0xFF]
11 - Turn left
Turn left in mix mode. Valid data range is 0 - 127. A value of 0 = stop turn and 127 = full speed
turn.
Send: [Address, 11, Value, CRC(2 bytes)]
Receive: [0xFF]
12 - Drive Forward or Backward (7 Bit)
Drive forward or backwards. Valid data range is 0 - 127. A value of 0 = full backward, 64 = stop
and 127 = full forward.
Send: [Address, 12, Value, CRC(2 bytes)]
Receive: [0xFF]
13 - Turn Left or Right (7 Bit)
Turn left or right. Valid data range is 0 - 127. A value of 0 = full left, 0 = stop turn and 127 = full
right.
Send: [Address, 13, Value, CRC(2 bytes)]
Receive: [0xFF]
