Control MDDS30 In Serial Simplified Mode Using Raspberry Pi

Introduction

In previous tutorial, I have shared on how to program USB port in Raspberry Pi and communicate with Maker UNO using serial communication. Based on that lesson, this time we will try to control MDDS30 in Serial Simplified mode using Raspberry Pi.

Video

This video will show you how to control SmartDriveDuo-30 (MDDS30) in Serial Simplified mode using Raspberry Pi.

Hardware Preparation

This is the list of items used in the video.

• Raspberry Pi Boards
• Motor Driver MDDS30
• USB to UART Converter
• DC Brushed Motor
• Maker pHAT
• USB Micro B Cable
• LiPo Battery 11.1V 2200mAH
• 16GB Micro SD Card with NOOBS for RPI

Sample Program

This is the sample code for controlling MDDS30 in Serial Simplified mode using Raspberry Pi.
