Monarco HAT as a Servo Drive Controller

This folder contains the source files for the demonstration project on using REXYGEN on the Raspberry Pi minicomputer with the Monarco HAT add-on board.

In this example the Monarco HAT is configured to act as a servo drive controller.

The measured velocity and position are recorded in the TRND blocks which allow displaying of the trends (graphs).

Timing of the project

The algorithm runs each 5 milliseconds (0.005 s). See the EXEC function block,
tick x ntick0 = 0.005 x 1 = 0.005 s.

Prerequisites

• REXYGEN Runtime Core and MonarcoDrv modules must be installed and running on the Raspberry Pi.

Running the example

• The *exec.mdl file is the project main file, open it with REXYGEN Studio.
• Compile and download the project to the target device.
• Switch to Watch mode and observe the algorithm (use Target->Watch Selection to display real-time data).
