Arduino_EMBRYO_2 - drawArc()

Draws an arc with both axis of EMBRYO 2.

Syntax

robot.drawArc(centerX,
              centerY,
              radius,
              initialAngle,
              finalAngle)

Parameters

  • centerX: X-axis coordinates of the arc center position in centimeter.
  • centerY: Y-axis coordinates of the arc center position in centimeter.
  • radius: arc radius size in centimeters.
  • initialAngle: initial angle of the arc.
  • finalAngle: initial angle of the arc.

Example

#include <Arduino_EMBRYO_2.h>

StepMotor axisX(1, A5, 5, 6, 3, 4, A1, A2, 2, 12);

StepMotor axisY(2, A5, 10, 11, 8, 9, A3, A4, 2, 12);

Embryo robot(axisX, axisY, 2, 12);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {};

  robot.begin();

  robot.setLengthXY(45, 25);
  
  Serial.println("Press the Start Button to start the machine");
  while(!robot.ready()); 
  
  Serial.println("Moving the robot to the initial XY position ...");

  robot.toPositionXY(15, 15);
  
  Serial.println("Press the forward button to continue ...");
}
void loop() {
  if(axisX.readBtnForward()){
    robot.drawArc(15, 15, 5, 20, 180);
  }
}
