5.1 Component Overview

Familiarize yourself with the main components of the 6060-PUSH module:

5.2 Физикалык байланыш

The module requires a 12-24V power supply and RS485 communication for control. Use the designated terminal block for connections.

Power and RS485: Connect your 12-24V power supply and RS485 communication lines to the terminal block labeled 'RS485 + POWER 12-24V'. Ensure correct polarity for power.

Монтаждоо: The module features M4 holes for secure mounting to your desired structure or platform.

5.3 Initial Configuration (Device ID)

Before operation, you may need to set or verify the module's device ID. This is typically done via RS485 commands. For example, to set the ID to '123', you would send the command ID=123\r\n.

6. Иштөө нускамалары

The 6060-PUSH module is controlled using specific GRBL-like commands sent over the RS485 interface. These commands allow for checking device status, setting parameters, and controlling linear motion.

6.1 GRBL Command Reference

Below is a list of common commands and their functions:

Эскертүү: \r\n represents carriage return and newline characters, which are typically required at the end of each command.

6.2 Arduino Example (Conceptual)

The following Arduino code snippet illustrates how to interact with the 6060-PUSH module using an M5Stack device. This example assumes an M5Stack with a display and buttons for interaction.

#include <M5Stack.h>
#define RX_PIN      16
#define TX_PIN      17

// ... (other definitions)

int distance = 0;    // Stepper motor movement step value

// ... (header function)

void setup() {
    M5.begin();
    M5.Power.begin();

    header("PUSH 6060", TFT_BLACK);
    M5.Lcd.setTextFont(2);
    M5.Lcd.setTextColor(TFT_WHITE, TFT_BLACK);
    Serial2.begin(9600, SERIAL_8N1, RX_PIN, TX_PIN);  // Configure Serial2
    delay(500);
    Serial2.print("ID=123\r\n");                     // Serial2 outputs ID=123\r\n, configuring 6060 motor ID to 123
}


void loop() {
    if(M5.BtnA.wasPressed()){                      // Button A pressed, send ID\r\n to check 6060 motor ID
      Serial2.print("ID\r\n");
    }
    if(M5.BtnB.wasPressed()){                      // Button B pressed, send ID123:X%d\r\n to control absolute movement, where %d is the variable distance
      if(distance < 50){
         distance +=10;
         Serial2.printf("ID123:X%d\r\n",distance);
      }
    }
    if(M5.BtnC.wasPressed()){                      // Button C pressed, send ID123Z\r\n to return motor to origin
      Serial2.print("ID123Z\r\n");
    }
    if(Serial2.available()){                       // Serial2 receives messages from 6060 and prints them
      char c = Serial2.read();
      Serial.print(c);
    }
    M5.update();
}

This code demonstrates:

• Initializing Serial2 for RS485 communication (RX_PIN 16, TX_PIN 17).
• Setting the module's ID (e.g., to 123).
• Sending commands to check ID, move to an absolute position, and return to origin based on button presses.
• Reading and printing responses from the module.
