handshake – Chris and Jim CIM

Where do you get the Dobot handshaking wires?

Question: I’m teaching CIM for the first time in a few years and am a bit rusty. I’m getting ready to start using the Dobots. I don’t remember this 4 wire piece that goes into the breadboard. I know I have a lot of 3 pronged ones from vex. Do you know what it’s called and where I can get one?...

10 Blockly-Handshaking Dobot to VEX

Written by Chris Hurd.

Download Often robotic arms need to communicate with other devices or controllers in a work cell, or factory. This is called HANDSHAKING and can be done between different machines, devices and robots. It is a very simple form of communication and is done with simple ones and zeros; or “ons” and...

Why do I need a resistor with Inputs on robots and micro-controllers?

Written by Chris Hurd.

Question: Why do I need a resistor when I am using inputs or outputs on a Dobot Magician? For that matter, Do I need them for micro-controllers like the VEX, or Arduinos? Answer: Well… Yes; on the Dobot you may, and on some micro-controllers also. The reason for this is actually pretty simple,...

How do I make my Dobot Magician talk to a VEX Cortex?

Written by Chris Hurd.

Question: How do I make my Dobot Magician talk to a VEX Cortex? Answer: It’s called handshaking and it is probably one of the more difficult tasks when working with robots and machines. We use an optical isolator so as not to damage any of the equipment with incompatible voltages, so be sure...

Dobot to Dobot Handshake!

Written by Chris Hurd.

We did it! We made a dobot magician talk to another one and make it start. We even added a VEX switch as an input to start the first one. It is easy to do, but one word of caution: Never connect or disconnect any wires to the dobot while it is powered on; always power it down first. Damage may result! Ok,...
