2.1.2 Data Structure
To represent the robot structure shown in Figure 1 in program, various data structures can
be used to represent the robot body parts and connections among them. In robot control,

we are especially interested in the parts that are moveable. As illustrated in the Plot (a)
of Figure 2, we can use a tree to represent the robot structure, involving the body and
four limbs directly connected to the trunk body. Meanwhile, each of the four limbs is also
connected to either a hand node or a foot node as their child, respectively.
For the nodes in Plot (a) of Figure 1, we observe that the tree nodes’ out-degrees
are quite different, e.g., the body root node’s out degree is 4, while the arm/leg nodes’ out
degrees are all 1 instead. Such node out-degree inconsistency may create potential problems
in writing the code for robot control.
In Plot (b) of Figure 1, we illustrate another tree structured representation of the robot
physical structure, where each internal node is connected to two other nodes, i.e., one child
and one sibling. For instance, the “Right-Arm” node is connected to both “Right-Hand” (its
child node) and “Left-Arm” (its sibling node). For the nodes without children or siblings,
we can just use the dummy “None” to fill the entries.
Compared with the balanced tree in Plot (a), the new tree structure in Plot (b) is skewed
and inclined to the right-hand side. Meanwhile, the tree structure is a binary tree actually,
as each node connects to two nodes at the lower level, programming based on which will be
much easier. Actually, such a tree data structure can be implemented very easily as a list,
where each node is represented as a record with unique IDs in the table, whose child and
sibling nodes can be indicated as its attributes. An example to implement the binary tree
structure as a list is also illustrated in Plot (c) of Figure 1.
2.1.3 Notation Table
Besides the basic notations introduced at the end of Section 1.2, in this part, we will also
introduce some other notations that will be used in the following sections for describing the
robot parts and their motions in the following Table 1.

To further clearly illustrate the rotations of the local coordinate systems from Σa to Σa
0,
we first need to talk about the relationship between the local coordinate systems Σa and Σa
0
with the world coordinate Σw. Since the initial local coordinate system Σa axis orientations
are identical to those of Σw, their conversion into each other is super easy and can be done
just by shifting the origins to a new position without any rotation transformation. Next,
we will focus on the rotation transformation from Σa
0 to Σw, which will be identical to the
rotation transformation from Σa
0 to Σa.
By projecting the x, y and z axes of Σa
0 to Σw, the unit vectors parallel to the x, y and
z axes of Σa
0 within the world coordinate Σw can be represented as
e
[Σa0→Σw]
x = (1, 0, 0)> , e
[Σa0→Σw]
y = (0, cos θ, − sin θ)
> , e
[Σa0→Σw]
z = (0,sin θ, cos θ)
>. (8)
Definition 5 (Rotation Matrix): Based on the above unit vectors projected from Σa
0 to
Σw, we can define the ration matrix from Σa
0 to Σw as:
R[Σa0→Σw] = (e
[Σa0→Σw]

Translation happens first, relative to the robot's origin if the UFRAME is 0,
or relative the UFRAME's origin if the point is referencing a UFRAME.
Then, the rotations happen, in the order of Rx (W), Ry (P), and then Rz (R).
These rotations are extrinsic.

4.3.4 Rotation Matrix and Angular Velocity Vector
Before we have introduced that via the rotation matrix, we can map a robot arm link from
a local coordinate system, e.g., p¯, to the world coordinate system as follows:
p = Rp¯. (48)
For robot arm, its link vector representation p¯ within the local coordinate system is
static and has a fixed representation, which can be denoted as
R>p = R>Rp¯ ⇒ p¯ = R>p. (49)
Meanwhile, both p and R will change with time. If we take the derivatives of p and R
with regard to time, we can obtain
p˙ = R˙ p¯ = R˙

2.3.2 Local Coordinate Systems
Besides the world coordinate, we can also introduce various local coordinate systems attached
to different parts of the robot rigid body. For the servo or motor driven robots, we normally
prefer attach the origins of the local coordinate systems to the rotor centers the servo/motor.
Definition 4 (Local Coordinate): By picking one point of the robot rigid body as the
origin and specifying the x, y and z axes, we can construct a local coordinate system for a
robot part. The local coordinate defines the position and state of the robot body parts from
a local perspective.
In the local coordinate systems, the representation of robot position and state will be
very different from what it looks like from the world coordinate
Example 7 As shown in Figure 4, by taking the robot arm joint a as the origin, we can
also build a local coordinate system Σa (in the orange color). The orientation of the x, y
and z axes are identical to the axis orientations of the world coordinate Σw. In a similar
way, we can introduce the local coordinate system Σb (in the green color) with the identical
axis orientations and have the origin attached to joint b.
Within the local coordinate system Σa, we can represent the robot arm pointing from
joint a to the second joint b as a vector

where l2 denotes the length of the corresponding arm link.

  Conventions by intrinsic rotations  [  [ edit
](/w/index.php?title=Euler_angles&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section:
Conventions by intrinsic rotations") ]

Intrinsic rotations are elemental rotations that occur about the axes of a
coordinate system _XYZ_ attached to a moving body. Therefore, they change
their orientation after each elemental rotation. The _XYZ_ system rotates,
while _xyz_ is fixed. Starting with _XYZ_ overlapping _xyz_ , a composition of
three intrinsic rotations can be used to reach any target orientation for
_XYZ_ .

Euler angles can be defined by intrinsic rotations. The rotated frame _XYZ_
may be imagined to be initially aligned with _xyz_ , before undergoing the
three elemental rotations represented by Euler angles. Its successive
orientations may be denoted as follows:

  * _x_ \- _y_ \- _z_ or _x_ 0  \- _y_ 0  \- _z_ 0  (initial)
  * _x_ ′- _y_ ′- _z_ ′ or _x_ 1  \- _y_ 1  \- _z_ 1  (after first rotation)
  * _x_ ″- _y_ ″- _z_ ″ or _x_ 2  \- _y_ 2  \- _z_ 2  (after second rotation)
  * _X_ \- _Y_ \- _Z_ or _x_ 3  \- _y_ 3  \- _z_ 3  (final)

For the above-listed sequence of rotations, the [ line of nodes
](/wiki/Line_of_nodes "Line of nodes") _N_ can be simply defined as the
orientation of _X_ after the first elemental rotation. Hence, _N_ can be
simply denoted _x_ ′. Moreover, since the third elemental rotation occurs
about _Z_ , it does not change the orientation of _Z_ . Hence _Z_ coincides
with _z_ ″. This allows us to simplify the definition of the Euler angles as
follows:

  * _α_ (or _φ_ ) represents a rotation around the _z_ axis,
  * _β_ (or _θ_ ) represents a rotation around the _x_ ′ axis,
  * _γ_ (or _ψ_ ) represents a rotation around the _z_ ″ axis.

  Chained rotations equivalence  [  [ edit

Any target orientation can be reached, starting from a known reference
orientation, using a specific sequence of intrinsic rotations, whose
magnitudes are the Euler angles of the target orientation. This example uses
the _z-x′-z″_ sequence.

See also: [ chained rotations ](/wiki/Chained_rotations "Chained rotations")

Euler angles can be defined by elemental [ geometry ](/wiki/Geometry
"Geometry") or by composition of rotations. The geometrical definition
demonstrates that three composed _[ elemental rotations
](/wiki/Elemental_rotation "Elemental rotation") _ (rotations about the axes
of a [ coordinate system ](/wiki/Coordinate_system "Coordinate system") ) are
always sufficient to reach any target frame.

The three elemental rotations may be  extrinsic  (rotations about the axes
_xyz_ of the original coordinate system, which is assumed to remain
motionless), or  intrinsic  (rotations about the axes of the rotating
coordinate system _XYZ_ , solidary with the moving body, which changes its
orientation with respect to the extrinsic frame after each elemental
rotation).

In the sections below, an axis designation with a prime mark superscript
(e.g., _z_ ″) denotes the new axis after an elemental rotation.

Euler angles are typically denoted as [ _α_ ](/wiki/Alpha "Alpha") , [ _β_
](/wiki/Beta "Beta") , [ _γ_ ](/wiki/Gamma "Gamma") , or [ _ψ_
](/wiki/Psi_\(Greek\) "Psi \(Greek\)") , [ _θ_ ](/wiki/Theta "Theta") , [ _φ_
](/wiki/Phi "Phi") . Different authors may use different sets of rotation axes
to define Euler angles, or different names for the same angles. Therefore, any

The type of the joint is identified by σ j where σ j = 0 if j is revolute, σ j = 1 if j

The kinematic model of the robotic arm deals with its motion without
considering forces and torques associated with it. It provides the position
and orientation of end-effector/gripper based on robot joint’s angular
position. It ultimately provides the homogeneous transformation matrix that
tells both the rotation and position of one frame n relative to another frame
m. It is denoted by 𝐻.

between the vector (x, y) (composed with the input arguments) and the x axis in the 2D
Cartesian plane.
5. Robot End Point Velocity
In the previous Section 4.3, we have introduce the object rotation angular velocity and linear
velocity. For an object rotating around the axis, we have illustrated their relationships and
also discussed about the transformation on them by the rotation movement.
In this section, we will further discuss about the angular velocity and linear velocity
about the end point of a robot during the rotational motion.
5.1 Single-Link Robot End Point Linear Velocity
We can borrow the example we use in the previous Section 2 here again. As shown in
Figure 10, given the robot arm with one movable link, we can represent its end point in the
world coordinate system as
p
[Σw]
b = p
[Σw]
a + R[Σa→Σw]p

Now, the first thing we need is a Denavit-Hartenberg(DH) parameter table for
our robotic arm. **Okay, Hold on! What about this DH thing?**
In order to compute the direct kinematics equation for an open-chain
manipulator, a systematic, general method is to be derived to deﬁne the
relative position and orientation of two consecutive links. Thus, the so-
called Denavit-Hartenberg convention is adopted. It provides 4 rules for frame
assignment on each joint of the manipulator.

**Wait! How did you fill the table though?

get axis X_i-1 to match axis X_i.**

Figure 8: Angular Velocity Vector (Right Hand Rule).
4.3.1 Angular Velocity Vector
As shown in Figure 8, given an object rotating in the counter clockwise direction around
the z axis, according to the right-hand rule, we can represent the angular velocity vector
orientation by the unit vector ez. Meanwhile, the rotation speed is denoted by a scalar
q˙ = 1 rad/s. For the angular velocity unit “rad/s”, it is equivalent to an ordinary frequency
of 1
2π
hertz or cycles per second. So, if an object rotation angular velocity is 2π rad/s, it
will rotate 1 cycle per second.
Some Remarks: In this article, we like to use a regular scalar q or vector p to represent
the angular and position of an object, and use ˙q and p˙ to represent its first-order derivatives
(i.e., velocity), and ¨q, p¨ to represent the second-order derivatives (i.e., acceleration).
In the 3D space, similar to the velocity and positions, the object rotation angular velocity
can also be represented as a vector. For this example, based on the angular velocity direction
unit vector ez and rotation velocity ˙q, we can represent the object rotation angular velocity
can be represented as:
ω = ˙qez =



where each element has the unit of rad/s.

In Figure 8, we also show the object position, which is denoted by a vector p from the
origin pointing to its current position, and the angle between p and the rotation axis ω is

Oh well, I am not getting exactly what you are trying to ask but if you want
to move your robot to a point you can simply jog it to a point by holding the
DEADMAN + SHIFT and by pressing your jog keys. If somehow you are not getting
the exact position of your tool then you can change the COORD syatem from
maybe like WORLD to JOINT and this way you will get different movements of
your robot axes. You just need to play with your robot for a little bit and
you will come to know about it.

vectors are all dynamic and will change as the robot moves. By calculating the derivatives

A common problem is to find the Euler angles of a given frame. The fastest way
to get them is to write the three given vectors as columns of a matrix and
compare it with the expression of the theoretical matrix (see later table of
matrices). Hence the three Euler Angles can be calculated. Nevertheless, the
same result can be reached avoiding matrix algebra and using only elemental
geometry. Here we present the results for the two most commonly used
conventions: _ZXZ_ for proper Euler angles and _ZYX_ for Tait–Bryan. Notice
that any other convention can be obtained just changing the name of the axes.

Some extra entries with dummy values (0 or 1) are added to the vectors and matrices in
the above formula just to make their dimensions match with each other.
Definition 6 (Homogeneous Transformation Matrix): In the above equation, we introduce a new matrix representation composed of the position vector pa and the rotation
matrix Ra
0, which is also named as the homogeneous transformation matrix, i.e.,
T
[Σa0→Σw] =
"
R[Σa0→Σw] p

The robot homogeneous transformation matrix T[Σa0→Σw] will convert all points described in the robot arm’s local coordinate to the world coordinate. Therefore, we can
generally say that the homogeneous transformation matrix T[Σa0→Σw] describes the position
and state of the robot arm. Since the robot rotation transformation is very common, to
simplify the notations, we can just use Σa to represent all the coordinate systems with
origin at joint a (including Σa and Σa
0 discussed before). As to Σa is the coordinate system
before or after the rotation, readers can differentiate them from the context by yourself.
3.2 Multi-Link Robot End Point Position
Real-world robots are usually composed of multiple links connected to each other by the
joints. At the end of the first section, we will take a more general robot with two links to
study the local coordinate transformation via the chain rule.
3.2.1 Multi-Link Robots with Local to Local Coordinate Systems
As illustrated in Figure 6, we rotates both of the two arm links of the robot shown in
Figure 4 with certain degrees: the first robot arm rotates clockwise with an angle of θ
degrees around joint a, while the second link rotates clockwise with an angle φ degrees
around joint b. At these two joints, we introduce two local coordinate systems Σa and
Σb, and these two arm links are defined as vectors p
[Σa]
a→b
and p
[Σb]
b→e within these two local
coordinate systems, respectively.
According to the analysis in the previous parts, by taking Σa as the “world coordinate”,


Yaw, Pitch and Roll are rotations around the Z, Y', and X'' axis (with respect
to the mobile frame, intrinsic)


Nation, thanks a lot!
I was looking for this information quite a bit. May I ask where you found it /
read about it?
It seems difficult to find out what standard each manufacturer uses -- and
generally, good and practical literature/tutorial about coordinate transforms
for robot arms is not too common.


\- is Fanuc using intrinsic (after rotating around the first axis, following
rotations are always performed around the new -or rotated- axes of the tool's
coordinate system) or extrinsic (all rotations around all axes are performed
around the original - static - coorinate system's axes) rotations ?
(See this for rotation details: [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

Euler angles, normally in the Tait–Bryan convention, are also used in [
robotics ](/wiki/Industrial_robot "Industrial robot") for speaking about the
degrees of freedom of a [ wrist ](/wiki/Robotic_arm "Robotic arm") . They are
also used in [ electronic stability control
](/wiki/Electronic_stability_control "Electronic stability control") in a
similar way.

Gun fire control systems require corrections to gun-order angles (bearing and
elevation) to compensate for deck tilt (pitch and roll). In traditional
systems, a stabilizing gyroscope with a vertical spin axis corrects for deck
tilt, and stabilizes the optical sights and radar antenna. However, gun
barrels point in a direction different from the line of sight to the target,
to anticipate target movement and fall of the projectile due to gravity, among
other factors. Gun mounts roll and pitch with the deck plane, but also require
stabilization. Gun orders include angles computed from the vertical gyro data,
and those computations involve Euler angles.

Euler angles are also used extensively in the quantum mechanics of angular
momentum. In quantum mechanics, explicit descriptions of the representations
of SO(3) are very important for calculations, and almost all the work has been
done using Euler angles. In the early history of quantum mechanics, when
physicists and chemists had a sharply negative reaction towards abstract group
theoretic methods (called the _Gruppenpest_ ), reliance on Euler angles was
also essential for basic theoretical work.

Many mobile computing devices contain [ accelerometers ](/wiki/Accelerometer
"Accelerometer") which can determine these devices' Euler angles with respect
to the earth's gravitational attraction. These are used in applications such
as games, [ bubble level ](/wiki/Bubble_level "Bubble level") simulations, and
[ kaleidoscopes ](/wiki/Kaleidoscope "Kaleidoscope") .  [ _[ citation needed


There is also the concept of **Jacobian matrix** when dealing with kinematic
modelling of the robotic manipulators. But that’s for the next chapter.

The definitions and notations used for Tait–Bryan angles are similar to those
described above for proper Euler angles (  geometrical definition  ,
intrinsic rotation definition  ,  extrinsic rotation definition  ). The only
difference is that Tait–Bryan angles represent rotations about three distinct
axes (e.g. _x_ \- _y_ \- _z_ , or _x_ \- _y_ ′- _z_ ″), while proper Euler
angles use the same axis for both the first and third elemental rotations
(e.g., _z_ \- _x_ \- _z_ , or _z_ \- _x_ ′- _z_ ″).

This implies a different definition for the [ line of nodes
](/wiki/Line_of_nodes "Line of nodes") in the geometrical construction. In the
proper Euler angles case it was defined as the intersection between two
homologous Cartesian planes (parallel when Euler angles are zero; e.g. _xy_
and _XY_ ). In the Tait–Bryan angles case, it is defined as the intersection
of two non-homologous planes (perpendicular when Euler angles are zero; e.g.
_xy_ and _YZ_ ).

For the robot arms with more than two links, the end point’s position can be derived
in a similar way with the chain rule on the multiple homogeneous transformation matrices
between coordinate systems. By now, we should have provide a detailed introduction on
multi-link rigid-body robot end point position and transformation across coordinate systems
for the readers already. In the next section, we will discuss more about the robot rotational
motion and its relationship with the robot velocity for the readers.
4. Robot Rotation
In the previous section, we have introduced the robot coordinate systems and representations. We have also briefly talk about the robot arm rotation, as well as the robot position
and state changes due to the rotation movement. In this section, we will provide a more
detailed analysis about the robot’s general rotational motion and illustrate several other
important properties of the rotation matrix defined before.
4.1 General Rotation
The rotation movements we introduce in the previous section are around one certain axis
(e.g., the x axis) and the rotation direction is clockwise. In this part, we will introduce a
more general robot rotation around any axes with either clockwise and counter-clockwise
directions.
4.1.1 Rotation Axis
Depending on the orientation of the joints, robots can rotate around the joints not only
along the x, y and z axes but also a combination of them, which will lead to the rotation
in any directions in the 3D space.
Definition 7 (Roll, Pitch and Yaw): Specifically, for the rotations around the x, y and
z axes, we can give them different names to describe the rotation:
• Roll: The rotation movement along the x axis is also called roll.

  2. Each matrix is meant to represent an [ active rotation ](/wiki/Active_and_passive_transformation "Active and passive transformation") (the composing and composed matrices are supposed to act on the coordinates of vectors defined in the initial fixed reference frame and give as a result the coordinates of a rotated vector defined in the same reference frame).
  3. Each matrix is meant to represent, primarily, a composition of [ intrinsic rotations ](/wiki/Intrinsic_rotations "Intrinsic rotations") (around the axes of the rotating reference frame) and, secondarily, the composition of three [ extrinsic rotations ](/wiki/Extrinsic_rotations "Extrinsic rotations") (which corresponds to the constructive evaluation of the R matrix by the multiplication of three truly elemental matrices, in reverse order).
  4. [ Right handed ](/wiki/Right_hand_rule "Right hand rule") reference frames are adopted, and the [ right hand rule ](/wiki/Right_hand_rule "Right hand rule") is used to determine the sign of the angles _α_ , _β_ , _γ_ .

For the sake of simplicity, the following table of matrix products uses the
following nomenclature:

  1. 1, 2, 3 represent the angles _α_ , _β_ and _γ_ , i.e. the angles corresponding to the first, second and third elemental rotations respectively.
  2. _X_ , _Y_ , _Z_ are the matrices representing the elemental rotations about the axes _x_ , _y_ , _z_ of the fixed frame (e.g., _X_ 1  represents a rotation about _x_ by an angle _α_ ).
  3. _s_ and _c_ represent sine and cosine (e.g., _s_ 1  represents the sine of _α_ ).

zero. Therefore, this norm would also force a compatible [ axes convention

Tait–Bryan convention is widely used in engineering with different purposes.
There are several [ axes conventions ](/wiki/Axes_conventions "Axes

studied in each case carefully.

The range for the angles _ψ_ and _φ_ covers 2  π  radians. For _θ_ the range
covers  π  radians.

The **Euler angles** are three angles introduced by [ Leonhard Euler
](/wiki/Leonhard_Euler "Leonhard Euler") to describe the [ orientation
](/wiki/Orientation_\(geometry\) "Orientation \(geometry\)") of a [ rigid body
](/wiki/Rigid_body "Rigid body") with respect to a fixed [ coordinate system
](/wiki/Coordinate_system "Coordinate system") .  [1]

They can also represent the orientation of a mobile [ frame of reference

of a general [ basis ](/wiki/Basis_\(linear_algebra\) "Basis \(linear

Classic Euler angles usually take the inclination angle in such a way that
zero degrees represent the vertical orientation. Alternative forms were later
introduced by [ Peter Guthrie Tait ](/wiki/Peter_Guthrie_Tait "Peter Guthrie
Tait") and [ George H. Bryan ](/wiki/George_H._Bryan "George H. Bryan")
intended for use in aeronautics and engineering in which zero degrees
represent the horizontal position.

After we have found the addresses of the devices we also need to find the
addresses of their internal registers in order to read the data from them. For
example if we want to read the data for the X axis from the 3 Axis
Accelerometer sensor of the GY-80 breakout board, we need to find the internal
register address where the data of the X axis is stored. From the datasheet of
the sensor, we can see that data for the X axis is actually stored in two
registers, DATAX0 with a hexadecimal address 0x32 and DATAX1 with a
hexadecimal address 0x33.

I am writing this article today to introduce the **ros2arduino** and open a
discussion forum.
**ros2arduino** is aimed at the ROS2 library available in Arduino, like
rosserial_arduino in ros1.
This is currently included in the [ roadmap
](https://github.com/ros2/ros2/wiki/Roadmap#next-release---crystal-clemmys-
december-2018) for the next release of ROS2.
Below is ros2arduino’s plan on current roadmap.

Because the I2C protocol allows for each enabled device to have it's own
unique address, and as both controller and peripheral devices to take turns
communicating over a single line, it is possible for your Arduino board to
communicate (in turn) with many devices, or other boards, while using just two
pins of your microcontroller.

I’ve got an initial draft of the interfaces already defined for a ROS Client
Library for MicroControllers (rcluc) that has its own rmw abstraction layer to
allow the DDS-XRCE implementation to be interchangeable and focuses on having
no dynamic allocation. I’d love if we could work together to get some of the
ideas from that incorporated.


Anyway, since this is open source, I hope you will discuss and contribute
together if you want.

Below you'll find a couple ways to wire I2C breakout modules. Which way is
best depends on each module, and your needs.

  * The controller sends out instructions through the I2C bus on the data pin (SDA), and the instructions are prefaced with the address, so that only the correct device listens.
  * Then there is a bit signifying whether the controller wants to read or write.
  * Every message needs to be acknowledged, to combat unexpected results, once the receiver has acknowledged the previous information it lets the controller know, so it can move on to the next set of bits.
  * 8 bits of data
  * Another acknowledgement bit
  * 8 bits of data

When you buy basically any breakout module that makes use of the I2C protocol,
they will come with some library that helps you use the sensor. This library
is more often than not built on top of the Wire library, and uses it under the
hood. Adding functionality in order to make, for example, reading temperature
easier.

The next bit AKC/ NACK is used by the slave device to indicate whether it has
successfully received the previous sequence of bits. So at this time the
master device hands the control of the SDA line over to the slave device and
if the slave device has successfully received the previous sequence it will
pull the SDA line down to the condition called Acknowledge. If the slave does
not pull the SDA line down, the condition is called Not Acknowledge, and means
that it didn’t successfully received the previous sequence which can be caused
by several reasons. For example, the slave might be busy, might not understand
the received data or command, cannot receive any more data and so on. In such
a case the master device decides how it will proceed.

After the addressing, the data transfer sequences begin either from the master
or the slave depending of the selected mode at the R/W bit. After the data is
completely sent, the transfer will end with a stop condition which occurs when
the SDA line goes from low to high while the SCL line is high.


The two lines are “open-drain” which means that pull up resistors needs to be
attached to them so that the lines are high because the devices on the I2C bus
are active low. Commonly used values for the resistors are from 2K for higher
speeds at about 400 kbps, to 10K for lower speed at about 100 kbps.


  * For this feature, you need to set ` UXR_CREATE_ENTITIES_USING_REF ` definition to ` 1 ` .

         #define UXR_CREATE_ENTITIES_USING_REF 1

That’s very interesting. It looks like a lot of the core ideas in microROS are
the same as what I was thinking. Though I had been planning to leave out RTOS
support for the first iteration and add it in as configurable later.

This looks interesting and should be a lot of fun to try out and hopefully I
will be able to make some contributions along the way.


In I2C, there is one controller device, with one or more peripheral devices
connected to the controllers SCL and SDA lines.

#  Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Protocol


A good way of adding complexity of features to your projects without adding
complexity of wiring, is to make use of the Inter-integrated circuit (I2C)
protocol. The I2C protocol is supported on all Arduino boards. It allows you
to connect several peripheral devices, such as sensors, displays, motor
drivers, and so on, with only a few wires. Giving you lots of flexibility and
speeding up your prototyping, without an abundancy of wires. Keep reading to
learn about how it works, how it is implemented into different standards, as
well as how to use the  Wire Library  to build your own I2C devices.


Include my email address so I can be contacted


The  _Wire.available()_ function will return the number of bytes available for
retrieval and if that number match with our requested bytes, in our case 2
bytes, using the  _Wire.read()_ function we will read the bytes from the two
registers of the X axis. At the end we will print the data into the serial
monitor. Here’s that data but keep in mind that this is raw data and some math
is needed to be done in order to get the right values of the X axis. You can
find more details for that in my next tutorial for using accelerometers with
the Arduino Board because I don’t want to overload this tutorial because its
main goal was to explain how the Arduino I2C communication works.


This code lets you read accelerometer data from a [ Grove 6-Axis Accelerometer
module ](https://store.arduino.cc/collections/sensors/products/grove-6-axis-
accelerometer-gyroscope) using the [ seeed arduino LSM6DS3 library
](https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/seeed-arduino-lsm6ds3/) .


in order to read the sensors temperature data by requesting from the right
address, and read the information returned with just a single line instead of
writing the Wire code yourself.


The remainder of this article is a collection of examples that can get you off
the ground with I2C.


* What Is I2C?


*Pin name might vary depending on what module, VCC might be named "VIN", "+", etc. GND might be named "-".

Now let’s make the code that will get the data for the X axis. So we will use
the Arduino Wire Library which has to be include in the sketch. Here first we
have to define the sensor address and the two internal registers addresses
that we previously found. The _ Wire.begin()  _ function will initiate the
Wire library and also we need to initiate the serial communication because we
will use the Serial Monitor to show the data from the sensor.

##  Development Note


[ **45** forks ](/ROBOTIS-GIT/ros2arduino/forks)


Sorry this took me so long to get posted publicly. Here is the start of what
I’ve been working on. I’ve already defined an interface for the library, but
am still working on the actual implementation (progress has been slow since
I’ve been doing it in my free time).


The device addressing sequence stars with the most significant bit (MSB) first
and ends with the least significant bit (LSB) and it’s actually composed of 7
bits because the 8  th  bit is used for indicating whether the master will
write to the slave (logic low) or read from it (logic high).


* Use the reference method supported by Client and Agent. Please refer to [ eProsima manual ](https://micro-xrce-dds.readthedocs.io/en/latest/agent.html#run-an-agent) for detailed usage.

#  ROS2 Serial Interface
##  What this is
This interface is designed to serve as a serial communication bridge between
two devices: the serial server and the serial client.
The serial server is the device used to indirectly control the serial client
via the use of ROS2 and serial communication
The serial client is the device that listens for serial communication from the
serial server. Based on what is communicated to it, the serial client performs
a pre-defined action
In theory any device capable of recieving data via serial communication can be
the serial client or the serial server. However, the expectation is that the
serial server is a device that runs/uses ROS2 (ie, like a Raspberry Pi), while
the serial client is a device that doesn't run/use ROS2 (ie, like a
microcontroller)
Note that the serial client must be programmed with the intent of doing a
particular action upon recieving a specific input from the serial server. For
example, if the serial server sends the character 'w' to the serial client,
the serial client must be programmed to listen for the character 'w'.
Additionally, the serial server must be programmed knowing what the serial
client will do once it recieves the character 'w'.
The main intention of this project is to provide a basic framework/idea that
anyone can use and modify to suit their particular project. The programs in
this repository are designed to demonstrate what one CAN do with their
project, not what one SHOULD do with their project. It is expected that those
who wish to use these files will modify them heavily to suit their own
individual needs
