Hi guys, thanks for sharing this, the noise is exactly the problem we are trying to solve with our robot.

I'm trying to upload your firmware to the encoder board using and FDTI board. I connected 5c gnd tx and rx as suggested and selected Arduino Uno as board in the Arduino software.

However it's returning an error during the upload phase:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00

Can you please advice which board you select from the arduino IDE?
thanks

Hello,
I successfully uploaded your firmware to the encoder board.
I'm trying to set speed from a Me Auriga board.

We are using the MeEncoderNew library from Makeblock to do so...

//Setting up motors
MeEncoderNew motor1(0x09, SLOT1);
MeEncoderNew motor2(0x09, SLOT2); 

// initialise motors in Setup
motor1.begin();
motor2.begin();

// set mode
motor1.setMode(1);  //0:I2C_MODE;1:PWM_MODE;2:PWM_I2C_PWM;
motor2.setMode(1);

//set speed
motor1.runSpeed(11, 0);
motor2.runSpeed(11, 0);

We can control the motors correctly but the range is very small. With the previous firmware we could control speed setting a value from -255 to 255.
With the current firmware with value 10 the motors move for one second and than stop and with value 11 they go extremely fast.

I was wondering if you could share the code you use to set speed from the external board.
thanks!
