ESP32与Xbox手柄的UART通信测试
1. 说明
这个项目的目标是实现使用手柄来控制ESP32。最近正在进行无人机项目，但是由于没有适合的遥控器来控制四轴，画板子也有些占用时间，所以比较有效的方法就是基于手头有的Xbox手柄来进行一个DIY，在手柄与ESP32之间建立串口通信。此处使用PC作为中继，可能速度有些慢，但是基于目前需求，速度已经足够了。下图说明了无人机项目的通信方式，红框部分为本次涉及部分。
2. 环境
这里我使用主要Ubuntu 18作为开发环境，Win10下也能正常运行。python版本为3.9，所需库为pygame与pyserial。
3. 手柄与PC之间的通信测试
手柄与PC之间通过Pygame建立通信，以下提供了两个测试程序，第一个测试程序是一个简单的终端输出，如果手柄工作正常，就会看到六轴的输出。
import pygame
import time
pygame.init()
pygame.joystick.init()
done=False
while (done != True):
for event in pygame.event.get(): # User did something
if event.type == pygame.QUIT: # If user clicked close
done = True # Flag that we are done so we exit this loop
joystick_count = pygame.joystick.get_count()
for i in range(joystick_count):
joystick = pygame.joystick.Joystick(i)
joystick.init()
axes = joystick.get_numaxes()
print('================')
time.sleep(0.1)
for i in range(axes):
axis = joystick.get_axis(i)
print(axis)
以下测试程序提供了一个简单的GUI来对每个按键进行测试

如果环境没有问题，就会看到如下的GUI界面。这时候按动手柄上的相关按键，就能看到数值的实时更新。
4. python与ESP32的通信测试
接下来测试python与Esp32之间的通信。 这里在PC上直接使用pyserial 库，
import serial
import time
ser = serial.Serial(
port='/dev/ttyUSB0',
baudrate=9600,
parity=serial.PARITY_ODD,
stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_TWO,
bytesize=serial.SEVENBITS
)
ser.isOpen()
# read a string
while 1:
trans_data = "Hello World"
ser.write(trans_data.encode('utf-8')) # write a string
received_data = ser.readline().decode() # read a byte
print(received_data)
ESP32使用Arduino框架，，只需要使用串口就可以了。程序的逻辑也非常简单， 就是读取上位机发送的信息，并返回信息。
#include <Arduino.h>
String received_data;
void ReadData(void)
{
if ( Serial.available() ) {
received_data = Serial.readString();
}
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
ReadData();
Serial.println(received_data);
delay(200);
}
如果一切正常，那么输出如下：
Hello World
Hello World
Hello World
Hello World
Hello World
...
5. 手柄与ESP32的通信测试
如果以上两个的测试正常通过，我们接下来就可以测试手柄和ESP之间的通信了。这里我们的目标是使用UART发送给ESP32相应的手柄的值，并返回一个解码的值。
首先我们需要对原始数据进行一个处理，因为原始的手柄数据都是浮点值，为了方便esp的处理，我们在PC端就需要对原始数据进行一个处理，将其全部转换为整型。并将所有轴上的数据拼合成一个字符串来方便发送。
首先我们需要对上位机程序进行一个整合，上位机程序需要做的任务是读取手柄的值，然后转码并发送到ESP32，然后读取串口上的值。
程序如下，
import pygame
import time
import serial
class Joystick:
def __init__(self):
# initialization for joystick
pygame.init()
pygame.joystick.init()
self.joystick_count = pygame.joystick.get_count()
self.joystick = pygame.joystick.Joystick(0)
self.joystick.init()
self.axes = self.joystick.get_numaxes()
self.joy_val = ""
# initialization for serial
self.ser = serial.Serial(
port='/dev/ttyUSB0',
baudrate=9600,
timeout=1
)
self.ser.isOpen()
self.done=False
def JoystickRead(self):
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
self.done = True
self.joy_val = ""
for i in range(self.axes):
axis = int(round(self.joystick.get_axis(i), 2)*100) + 100
axis_str = str(axis).zfill(3)
self.joy_val = self.joy_val + axis_str
#print("joy_val: ", self.joy_val)
def SerialWriteAndRead(self):
self.ser.write(self.joy_val.encode())
# print(axis_str)
received_data = self.ser.readline().decode()
print(received_data, '\n')
if __name__ == '__main__':
joystick = Joystick()
while (joystick.done != True):
joystick.JoystickRead()
joystick.SerialWriteAndRead()
time.sleep(0.05)
接下来对esp32的程序进行一个更改。在这里，esp32任务是读取上位机发来的手柄的值，然后解码。之后将解码后的值发送给上位机来验证手柄信息是否正常发送。相关代码如下，
#include <Arduino.h>
using namespace std;
String received_data;
string received_data_string;
string output_data;
char *p_data;
String default_data = "100100000100100000";
String joy_left_x;
String joy_left_y;
String joy_right_x;
String joy_right_y;
const int ktest= 100;
void ReadData(void)
{
if ( Serial.available() ) {
received_data = Serial.readString();
}
else {
received_data = default_data;
}
delay(20);
}
void ProcessData(void)
{
if (received_data.length() > 17)
{
joy_left_x = received_data.substring(0, 3);
int left_x = joy_left_x.toInt();
joy_left_y = received_data.substring(3, 6);
int left_y = joy_left_y.toInt();
joy_right_x = received_data.substring(6, 9);
int right_x = joy_right_x.toInt();
joy_right_y = received_data.substring(9, 12);
int right_y = joy_right_y.toInt();
delay(20);
}
}
void ShowData(void)
{
// Serial.print("Data received: \n");
// Serial.println(received_data);
// Serial.print("Joy Left X: \n");
Serial.println(joy_left_x);
Serial.println(joy_left_y);
// Serial.println(joy_right_x);
// Serial.println(joy_right_y);
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
ReadData();
ProcessData();
ShowData();
delay(20);
}
首先下载ESP32的程序，再运行上位机程序。如果正常输出，则会看到，
100
100
100
...
这是因为默认状态下，左摇杆的 x x x轴位置为0。为了方便进行串口通信，我们取到小数点后两位小数，并将其放大100倍。最后我们将其映射到0~200这个范围，这也是为什么输出为100的原因。
在调试过程中，需要注意的是UART的配置问题，如果配置有误，则会造成上位机输出信息错误。此外UART时序也是一个需要注意的问题。如果在调试过程中，发现结果不对，但是程序逻辑是正常的， 那么需要检查一下两侧的UART配置。
