This week’s lab focused on exploring the Arduino’s capability to communicate using a Serial connection.  I was very excited to learn how to set up this kind of communication system as it opens up a whole new set of development possibilities.  Being able to interface physical computing components with Processing (or Flash) is just downright awesome!

I started by setting up the basic board that was outlined in the lab.  I used a potentiometer as I loaned my beloved force sensor to another student for a project.

Next I programmed the board to send out a byte of information every 10 miliseconds that corresponds to the value of the poteniometer.  Once this was working in the Arduino’s Serial monitor I then moved onto Processing.  I copied the default sketch, rand it and – voila! – instant graphical data representation!

Once I got the basic setup working I began to think about how I could adapt the techniques outlined in the lab to my midterm project.  Without giving too much away just yet, our midterm uses six digital inputs and one (possibly two) servo motor outputs.  I peeked ahead at next week’s lab and was able to cobble together an Arduino program and Processing sketch that handles this kind of communication.  Once we get more into the project I will begin to document our progress and post code samples.

15. SoR annoucement: microcontroller productAs many of you have realized, I have not really been happy with any of the microcontrollers available on the market. They are all missing something . . .So I am developing a microcontroller for SoR to sell (called the Axon), with revenue going to further develop/grow the SoR website. Ive done a manufacturing run and it mostly works, but Im working out the final bugs and documentation. Ive been working hard on this for the last ~6 months, and it should be ready within a month or two from now for shipment.For those who have used the Arduino, it will basically be the Arduino x 3 (in features, support, and cost). Yet it will be smaller and lighter, too.A few teaser features:16 ADCbuilt in USB3 additional UART (for camera, wireless, hyperterminal, etc)no programmer requiredcontrol up to 40 servos (building a hexapod/biped, anyone?)has a power busdesigned for the intermediate/expert builder, simple enough for a beginner  -actually, much much easier than the $50 Robot2.5"x2.5"x.7" profilefull support, easy to use software/codeRoHS compliant (environmentally friendly, no lead, etc)Price will be between $100 and $150. Send me an IM if you want to reserve one (no money down) so I can better judge how many to initially make. Those who reserve for the first produced limited batch will get ~20% off....
