-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Readme -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After alot of hairpulling when trying to figure out how to interface with my arduino board I found the only way to learn was to pull bits of information from all over the web together. It was very frustrating so I created this package so others could learn what I learned from one tidy package. If you have any questions or suggestions about this package feel free to email me at westonforbes@gmail.com with the subject of "Program Help" (to get past the spam filters). It should be noted that I did NOT write the SerialCommand library files. Those came from Steven Cogswell at steven.cogswell@gmail.com. Without his wonderful interface libraries I would have never been able to write the rest of the programming. His libraries are included unedited except for a single reference to wprogram.h which had to be updated to arduino.h to work with the new arduino IDE. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setup -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Place the entire folder of SerialCommand into your arduino libraries folder. C:/...(Whereever your arduino.exe is)/libraries 2. With the arduino IDE, load the INO file FirmwareExample.INO from the folder FirmwareExample to your arduino board. The default LED of this program is set to pin 13 because current Arduino Uno boards have an onboard LED at that location. 3. Launch the application SerialCommunicationInterface.exe, select your COM port and baud rate (the firmware I wrote communicates at 9600 baud). After doing that you can load the InputArrayExample file I wrote to demonstrate how you can keep basic serial commands stored. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Files -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I included all of the source files as neat and clean as possible so that hopefully you can learn easier than the rest of us. If you find this package useful, I urge you to donate at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7WXMSE6NSDZ52 to help suppliment my modest dayjob income so I can work on this stuff more.
