Instead of using Serial.print() in Arduino, use Firmata. Check out the Library-Firmata examples in Arduino. The Firmata object in Arduino replaces the Serial object and then automatically speaks the Firmata protocol, so that you can then use [arduino] in Pd. .hc On Mar 1, 2009, at 8:21

Hi folks I'm wondering if anybody can point me at an example of using Pduino and an SRF05 ultrasonic ranger? Not sure how to get the microsecond intervals needed. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere on the list or if it's just a stupid question. cheers dafydd -- www.sideshowmedia.ca skype:

I think that is one of the sensors where you have to do the triggering and pulseIn measurement yourself. There are examples on the arduino forum of firmwares that do this, then if you combine such a firmware with the Firmata Arduino library, then you'll have a firmware that will work

It wouldn't be so hard, but you'd need some arduino programming experience. If you want something like that sensor that is really easy to use, get a Maxbotix, you can just hook them up to an analog pin and read them immediately with Pduino:

Hey Hans-Christoph Actually, I've had the sensor working with Arduino and pulsing LEDs for a while - that part's fine. Now it's just getting Pd to understand Arduino's Serial.println that's giving me trouble. I'm going to open up [arduino] and I bet I'll find the secret there. I was hoping

Hi Daffydd, I don't recall having too much trouble transferring bytes from an Arduino over to [comport]. Do you not have any data flowing between the two, or is your concern more about how numeric figures are to be formatted? -- David Shimamoto Hey Hans-Christoph Actually, I've had

Thanks. I'll look into that tomorrow. In the meantime, I have it working with decimal well enough. Thanks everybody for the help! cheers dafydd On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 8:11 PM, Roman Haefeli reduzie...@yahoo.de wrote: On Sun, 2009-03-01 at 19:54 -0500, Dafydd Hughes wrote: Hi David I'm sure
