This should be no problem at all. Quoting HCS the comport number is
the argument to the arduino abstraction:
[arduino 1] [arduino 2] [arduino 5]
The numbers depend on your computer, of course. Send a 'devices' message to get the numbering:
[devices( | [arduino]
- is there a Max version of the Pduino interface stuff? We are a
multiple platform house, so it would be good if we could use the same arduino firmware for multiple platforms, i.e. PD and Max.
The Arduino website is a little inconsistent. The Max/MSP page now also points to: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Interfacing/Firmata
as well. PDuino is now firmata and all is well.
SimpleMessageSystem also works on both platforms, but I think that it is not a sensor system but a general system to talk with the Arduino board: it can do input and output, but can also be used to set up parameters of a program running on the Arduino. So it is even more flexible than firmata which is more flexible than Arduino2Max.
- Bluetooth Arduino: any luck on linux or OSX so far? Last I heard
there were problems...
Feb 2007 Erich Berger reported success on Windows, no success on Linux. I cannot find any other reports.
