Thanks, that is the regular connection, but not working... maybe the capacitor... in the past i worked with ir, potentiometer, bottoms, all the sensors, but the acellerometer dont work in pd...very strange... When y program in Arduino all works fine.... how can i connect the serial to Pd?... with the same firmatas objetc?

Thanks a lot, but the sensor not working in the habitual order.

Somebody?

Thanks a lot people

hi,

Is there any specific reasons why you connect both GND and VCC to AIN of Arduino?

The typical connection should be

AXL (GND) -> Arduino (GND) AXL (VCC) -> Arduino (3V3) (check the datasheet if VCC = 1.8V-3.8V) AXL (X) -> Arduino (A0) AXL (Y) -> Arduino (A1) AXL (Z) -> Arduino (A2)

enable analog in in firmata, then should give you some readings,

use a small capacitor across XYZ and arduino to avoid noise

The connection I make in the arduino ide bd begins with 9600, but the firmata works to 57,600 bd.

How do the circuit?, or does it need to be rewritten from the firmata?.

I send the picture of Igoe conecction and works fine (in arduino ide).

Oh... what do you mean 17 and 18? if i change the analog ins 4-5 to digital output?... ill try this solution and tomorrow i send a post.

Very thanks for the support

It should work with the [comport] object. You need on the Arduino to set analog 4 and 5 as digital outputs (I think they are digital 17 & 18). Set the pin connected to the accelerometer module's 5V pin HIGH and the Gnd pin LOW. That will provide enough current for the accelerometer to work. Then you need to do analogRead() on the three accel pins and split each value into two bytes. Then send all six bytes via Serial.print(val, BYTE) commands. In a Pd patch you need to reassemble each packet of six bytes into three floats. Obviously the baud rate must be the same at both ends but it can be very fast, like 115200. It might help to have the Arduino send samples only when requested by the Pd patch, that way you can be sure of getting the six bytes into the correct frame, otherwise it's not certain which is the first (unless you add a header byte that is always the same).

I find it easier to do this without using the firmata or pduino stuff, because it's an unusual implementation. If you want to use pduino, it's better to connect your module power pins to the Arduino power pins and just read analog 0 1 2.
