Fire Bird V ATMEGA2560 Hardware Manual
6.2 Robot control using RS232 serial port
Figure 6.1: Connecting RS232 serial port with the PC
UART1 of the ATMEGA2560 microcontroller is connected to the serial port via MAX202
UART to RS232 converter. For robot control over RS232 serial port application example we
need to load "13A_Serial_Communication.hex" on the robot which is located in the
"Experiments" folder in the documentation CD.
For robot control over serial port we use Terminal software from NEX Robotics. It is located in
the "Software" folder in the documentation CD. Installation and the use of the terminal software
from NEX Robotics is covered in the section 6.7.
