    Romeo BLE Quad Robot Controller SKU: DFR0398      Introduction Romeo BLE Quad is an arduino compatible robot controller based on STM32 ARM chip. It inherits all features from the Bluno M3, including wireless programming support, wireless communication between iOS/Android apps and remote control. Beyond this it also includes a 4-way DC motor driver and encoder interfaces. You can implement a robot with PID closed-loop feedback control directly with our TT Geared Motor. As well as this the Romeo BLE Quad offers powerful performance thanks to the STM32 ARM 32-bit microcontroller with more storage space and more interface resources. DFRobot has developed bespoke firmware to make it compatible with Arduino IDE and accessible to beginners to robotics. Note: The operating voltage of Romeo BLE Quad is 3.3V, please read the Board Overview carefully before usage! Features       Supports Arduino IDE/Arduino C Supports Bluetooth Wireless Communications/Programming Supports Android and iOS applications, open source code, suitable for secondary development by the user Supports AT commands to configure BLE Upgradable firmware 4WD Support Specification                 Microcontroller: STM32 F103RET6 Clock Speed: 72 MHZ Bluetooth Chip: TI CC2540 (Bluetooth 4.0) Communication Range: 30m Operating Voltage: 3.3V DC Supply: USB Powered or External 7V~10V DC DC Motor: 4 way Supports USB and external power supply automatic switching Digital I/O Pins: 10 Analog I/O Pins: 5 I2C/IWC: 30 (Default SDA), 29 (Default SCL) SRAM: 64k Flash: 512K (Customizable Flash assignment, refer to Flash chapter for more info) Default User Code repository: 492K Default User Data repository: 20KA Serial Port: 2 (Serial1, Serial3) Serial1 0 (Rx1) and 1 (Tx1) Serial3 30 (Rx3), and 29 (Tx3) Size: 67 x 42 (mm) Weight: 54g NOTE: Romeo BLE Quad serial port starts from Serial1, it is in charge of USB & Bluetooth communication. You need to change Serial to ‘’‘Serial1’‘’ in the sketch if you want to use serial monitor.

(Encapsulated in the library) Forward: GPIO 1 = Low (Direction); GPIO 2 = PWM (Speed) Reverse: GPIO 2 = Low (Direction): GPIO 1 = PWM (Speed) Special Attention: The operating voltage of Romeo BLE Quad is 3.3V, only some of pins support 5V input, please read the following instruction carefully before usage! Or it will destroy the micro chip. 3.3V only: D20, D27, D28 5VCompatible：D0, D1, D29, D30, D31, D32, D33 Analog Input Pins, A0~A4, have 5V bleeder circuit, "0~5V" will be mapped to "0~1023" analog value. Tutorial We need to install Romeo BLE Quad development environment before usage. Since this is a secondary development edition based on Bluno M3, and all pins function are same to Bluno M3, we can refer to Bluno M3 wiki for the environment installation. Bluno M3 V2.2 Software Development Environment\Install Software Development Environment PID Speed Control In this tutorial, we'll use TT Geared Motor with Encoder. There are some important parameters:     Sampling period: setSampleTime (in this case: 100 ms, 0.1s) The number of quadrature encoders in the sampling period motorSpeed (In this case: 200) Motor encoder pole number (in this case: 16) Motor reduction ratio (In this case: 120:1) E.g. When the motor encoder pole number is 16, the encoder increments will be 16 * 2 = 32 in one circle. If you get 200 pulse change in a sampling period, it means the real speed of motor is 200÷0.1(s)÷32 = 62.5 r/s = 62.5*60 r/min =3750 r/min; and its output speed is 3750/120=31.25r/min  Most of function has been encapsulated in the library, you can modify the output content in "Motor.cpp", line 241.
