Moi, does anybody know, if it is possible to control the Ping (ultrasonic range finder)sensor using only Pduino (first uploading
Pd-firmware to the arduino, and then using the "arduino" pure data
patch?). It doesn't work for me at the moment.If I write my own ping-sensor-patch for arduino and then use the
PD_inputs_to_PD patch it works fine.But I'd like to use several different sensors and it would
therefore be much easier to just control all of them with Pduino
and not writing new code for arduino all the time. Well, guess
this was the original idea of Pduino anyways :-)I had the same problem. you can find the code I wrote fr making the ultrasonic ranger work, here: http://puredata.info/Members/federico/arduino
despite its simplicity, I had troubles integrating it into Pduino
firmwareanyway that's the proof-of-concept that it works
To make it work with Firmata,
- first remove any Serial class references (Serial.begin() is run by
the Firmata class) 2) use this to send analog data to the computer:
Firmata.sendAnalog(analogPin, pulseTime);
Then this will work with any arduino class, like Pd, python, Max, etc.
