Diablo WebUI example files

It is fairly easy to change the diddy2Web.py script so that it uses a Diablo instead of a ThunderBorg.

First change the import line:

import ThunderBorg

to

import Diablo

Next change the board setup lines:

TB = ThunderBorg.ThunderBorg()
#TB.i2cAddress = 0x15                  # Uncomment and change the value if you have changed the board address
TB.Init()
if not TB.foundChip:
    boards = ThunderBorg.ScanForThunderBorg()
    if len(boards) == 0:
        print 'No ThunderBorg found, check you are attached :)'
    else:
        print 'No ThunderBorg at address %02X, but we did find boards:' % (TB.i2cAddress)
        for board in boards:
            print '    %02X (%d)' % (board, board)
        print 'If you need to change the I²C address change the setup line so it is correct, e.g.'
        print 'TB.i2cAddress = 0x%02X' % (boards[0])
    sys.exit()
TB.SetCommsFailsafe(False)
TB.SetLedShowBattery(False)
TB.SetLeds(0,0,1)

to the version in the Diablo examples:

# Setup the Diablo
DIABLO = Diablo.Diablo()
#DIABLO.i2cAddress = 0x44                  # Uncomment and change the value if you have changed the board address
DIABLO.Init()
if not DIABLO.foundChip:
    boards = Diablo.ScanForDiablo()
    if len(boards) == 0:
        print 'No Diablo found, check you are attached :)'
    else:
        print 'No Diablo at address %02X, but we did find boards:' % (DIABLO.i2cAddress)
        for board in boards:
            print '    %02X (%d)' % (board, board)
        print 'If you need to change the I²C address change the setup line so it is correct, e.g.'
        print 'DIABLO.i2cAddress = 0x%02X' % (boards[0])
    sys.exit()
#DIABLO.SetEpoIgnore(True)                 # Uncomment to disable EPO latch, needed if you do not have a switch / jumper
DIABLO.ResetEpo()

After that look for the power settings:

# Power settings
voltageIn = 1.2 * 10                    # Total battery voltage to the ThunderBorg
voltageOut = 12.0 * 0.95                # Maximum motor voltage, we limit it to 95% to allow the RPi to get uninterrupted power

and change the values so that match your robot.

Now look for any lines containing

TB.SetLedShowBattery

or

TB.SetLeds

and remove them.

Finally change any lines which have TB in them to have DIABLO instead. Some text editors have a find and replace function which can help with this.

Now the script should work exactly like in does on DiddyBorg v2, but using a Diablo instead :)
