Four-way tracking module：Read status (GPIO)

The tutorial demonstrates the serial port and OLED display of the status of each indicator light of the four-way line patrol module.

The tutorial only introduces the standard library project code

Hardware connection

Since we have configured a special connection line, we only need to install it to the corresponding interface:

Control principle

By reading the X1, X2, X3, and X4 interface levels of the four-way tracking module, it is determined whether the black line is detected and where the black line is located.

Black line detected

Light on → The corresponding interface of the four-way patrol module outputs a low level;

White line detected

Light off → The corresponding interface of the four-way patrol module outputs a high level.

Note: The correspondence between the interface, LED, and adjustment knob shall be based on the silk-screen numbers, for example: X1 corresponds to L1, SW1

Software Configuration

Pin Definition

Software code

Since the default function of the pin is the normal IO pin function, we need to use the default multiplexing function.

Experimental phenomenon

The IRtracking.hex file generated by the project compilation is located in the OBJ folder of the IRtracking project. Find the IRtracking.hex file corresponding to the project and use the FlyMcu software to download the program to the development board.

After the program is successfully downloaded: the serial port prints and the OLED displays the X1, X2, X3, and X4 interface levels of the four-way tracking module.
