SERIAL COMMUNICATION (X-SIM & ARDUNIO)

[rohithkumar]

Hi I am new to this forum, I am very happy and excited to join this community.
I have started some research on building scaled version of SIM using ARDUNIO and servos. But now i got some problem in serial communication from X-sim to Ardunio.

I found there are no topics on this issue, Can any one help me out with this issue

I am able to generate the values from game using X-sim converter, but cannot use those values to communicate with ardunio. (No RX light blinking while running the game).

I am still in the learning stage even i am fining some problem with interface settings as well. i dont know which direction to go now??????

Hi ,

You can have a look here : http://www.x-sim.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=155#p895

It's not servos but you can find a code for serial comunication btween xsim and arduino nano

Thank you guys for your reply and help.
The problem what i am facing here is no data is transmitted to my arduino board from x-sim output. I dont know which link i am missing, but i have read about RX led should be blinking during serial data transfer i dont see it on my board. Even though my board is detected by x-sim in the interface settings i am not seeing any positive sings of it. I am very much new to this topic.

BobBuilt & vicpopo thank you time

Thank you for your support.

thank you guys for your support, The issue is solved now my board and game are talking to each other but the values coming out of it are not quite good

Hi BobBuilt,

As i have mentioned in my previous post that i have solved the issue, there i have used Sirnoname`s firmware (XPID plugin and code)and plugin. But other than that program if i load any other code my Arduino UNO board is not detected by X-sim, even your`s which you have posted for me to drive servos.

What should be the issue with me, i have seen so many posts guys using Alex-firmware which is not a X-PID code but working for them.

And this is the interface settings screenshot

Great, that will be so helpful looking forward for it.

That is too... hot

Uso and arduino is not a good idea if you use a arduino with ftdi chip. You need a 2second artificial break in the init uso sequence for them.
Only UNO's R2 and R3 are for some reason without a reset.
