Arduino Libary for MONA-ESP Robot

Description

Library to use the MONA-ESP robot with the Arduino IDE

Installation

Arduino IDE

Install the current upstream Arduino IDE at the 1.8 level or later. The current version is at the Arduino website.

ESP32 compatibility with the Arduino IDE - for Espressif ESP32 3.x.x onwards

To install the Arduino core for ESP32, the suggested method is using the Boards Manager From the Arduino IDE. More information can be found at the ESP32 Arduino core Github page. To install the ESP32 core with the Boards Manager follow the instructions:

  • Start Arduino IDE and open File > Preferences window.
  • Into the Additional Board Manager URLs field, enter the following release link. You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas.
    • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
  • Click 'Ok' to close the Board Preferences Window. Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board > Board Manager. Search for esp32, select the option from Espressif Systems and install it.
  • After the instalation has finished, go to Tools > Board and select ESP32 Wrover Module

Adding the MONA-ESP library to Arduino IDE

To install the MONA-ESP library into the Arduono IDE follow the next steps:

  • Scroll up in this webpage, click the green button on the top right of the page with the text Clone or Download. Choose Download as Zip.
  • From the Arduino IDE, go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library . Browse and find the downloaded Zip file, select and install.

Installing External Libraries

The MONA-ESP code depend on external libraries to control some of the peripherals of the board. To compile and use the MONA-ESP libraries it is necessary to install some dependencies. For that, within the Arduino IDE go to Tools > Manage Libraries Search for and install the following libraries:

  • Adafruit LSM9DS1
  • Adafruit MCP23008
  • Adafruit Neopixel
  • Adafruit Unified Sensor

Testing the Library

Once the libraries have been installed, from the Arduino IDE select File > Examples > MONA-ESP Robot Library and select one of the examples. Ensure that the board ESP32 Wrover Module has been selected (From Tools > Board). Connect the MONA-ESP robot to the compter through the USB cable and click Upload.
