Setting up the motor control


We are now going to set up the different parts of the project, starting with configuring the Arduino Uno, which will control the motors via Wi-Fi. For this, we'll use the aREST Arduino library, which makes it really easy to control Arduino projects via Wi-Fi.

Here is the complete code for this part:

// Robot test via aREST + WiFi
#define NUMBER_VARIABLES 1
#define NUMBER_FUNCTIONS 5

// Libraries
#include <Adafruit_CC3000.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <aREST.h>
#include <avr/wdt.h>

// CC3000 pins
#define ADAFRUIT_CC3000_IRQ   3
#define ADAFRUIT_CC3000_VBAT  8
#define ADAFRUIT_CC3000_CS    10

// Robot speed
#define FULL_SPEED 100
#define TURN_SPEED 50

// Motor pins
int speed_motor1 = 6; 
int speed_motor2 = 5;
int direction_motor1 = 7;
int direction_motor2 = 4;

// Sensor pins
int distance_sensor = A0;

// CC3000 instance
Adafruit_CC3000 cc3000 = Adafruit_CC3000(ADAFRUIT_CC3000_CS, ADAFRUIT_CC3000_IRQ, ADAFRUIT_CC3000_VBAT);

// Create aREST...
