Galileo code for DC motor speed control


Open the IDE and then enter the following code:

This code sends basic commands to the Galileo to control the speed of the motor. Here are the details:

  • int motorPin = 11;:- This sets digital I/O pin 11 to the control pin you'll be using.

  • void setup():– The setup function executes once you set up your Galileo.

  • pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);:- This sets this pin to function as an output pin.

  • Serial.begin(9600);:- This starts the serial port with a baud rate of 9600.

  • Serial.println("Set Speed 0 - 255");:- This prints the line "Set Speed 0 – 255".

  • void loop():– This loop is performed over and over again on the Galileo.

  • if (Serial.available()):– If there is a serial input date on the serial port, then do the following statements.

  • int speed = Serial.parseInt();:- This brings in the data as an integer.

  • Serial.println("Speed");:- This prints the line "Speed".

  • Serial.print(speed);:- This prints the value input from the serial port.

  • Serial.println(" " );:- This finishes...
