Hi Davide,
I did this in the arduino-help patch:
"devicename /dev/TTYUSB0"
"open 3" ("devicename" resets the name of the device that the comport object first connects to. If there are no arguments then its "open 0" if there ARE arguments (in the case of the arduino-help patch "3" then devicename resets slot "3" so you need to do "open 3". Hans, you should probably remove the creation argument and just use the "open" messages.
Turn off "digital Ins" <- you must do this!
turn on the route to see the A2D output.
It should act normal. It seems to take a few seconds after sending the message to turn off digital ins before the inputs settle.
Note once you send this message you can do everything but reset and unplug the arduino and it'll keep acting "normal".
If I don't send the "digitalIns 0" message then all the a2Ds act crazy...
I think by default the firmware should not output the analog values, only do so when it gets a message to start doing so.
I used two sensors on 1-2, 2-3, 1-3, 1-4, and 2-4 and I did not see anything out of the ordinary.
sending "analog 0" does not seem to do anything... I think the firmware puts the board in some odd states once in a while. Actually what happend is that Arduino kept sending the analog data (for about 10 seconds after I sent the "analogIns 0") until I changed the resistance on one of the analog ins. I'll see if I can reproduce this with todays firmware.
,b,

I'll try and test this today, would it work if I connected the same sensor to all the analog ins? I don't have enough space on my board for 8 voltage dividers!
my IR sensors have 3 pins:
- voltage input = RED
- voltage output = white
- ground = black
I just connected:
- all the RED together into the 5v output of arduino
- all the BLACK together in the ground of arduino (just right of the 5v
output)
- every WHITE on a separate arduino analog IN
i don't use any voltage divider.. (maybe i'm very dumb?)
if you use a single sensor then you will get a very low signal going from 0 to 1v instead of 0 to 5v, but you should be able to see something... (you won't see the ghost effect I see on pin 1, 3 and 4)
the better thing would be to use 5 or 6 pots or 5 or 6 sliders
ciao, davide
