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 there's be a strictly Pd way to do it - it's for an intro workshop and I was going to show folks how super-easy it is. Hopefully I'll be able to show folks how almost super-easy it is instead. This may be one of those rare occasions where it's actually easier to do something _without_ Pd:) cheers dafydd On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 5:14 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 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: > > http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/categories.php?c=84 > > .hc > > On Mar 1, 2009, at 5:03 PM, Dafydd Hughes wrote: > >> Thanks Hans-Christoph >> >> In over my head again. >> >> cheers >> dafydd >> >> On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 4:59 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> >>> I think that is one of the sensors where you have to do the triggering >>> and >>> pulseIn measurement yourself.
