Hi folks
I'm wondering if anybody can point me at an example of using Pduino and an SRF05 ultrasonic ranger? Not sure how to get the microsecond intervals needed. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere on the list or if it's just a stupid question.

I think that is one of the sensors where you have to do the triggering
and pulseIn measurement yourself. There are examples on the arduino
forum of firmwares that do this, then if you combine such a firmware
with the Firmata Arduino library, then you'll have a firmware that
will work with Pduino and that sensor.

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:

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:)

Hi Daffydd,
I don't recall having too much trouble transferring bytes from an Arduino over to [comport].
Do you not have any data flowing between the two, or is your concern more about how numeric figures are to be formatted?

Hi David
I'm sure it's easier than I'm making it.
Really, I just need to turn the data from the arduino into usable floats. Right now it's coming in as ascii characters and I'm building lists between carriage returns. Hopefully I can now turn those lists into numbers without too much trouble. Should I maybe be doing this with binary numbers? Would that be easier?

i'd guess so. you could use [mapping/debytemask] in order to convert the byte into its single bits. then parsing of the data you want should be really easy.

Thanks. I'll look into that tomorrow. In the meantime, I have it working with decimal well enough.

Instead of using Serial.print() in Arduino, use Firmata. Check out
the Library-Firmata examples in Arduino. The "Firmata" object in
Arduino replaces the Serial object and then automatically speaks the
Firmata protocol, so that you can then use [arduino] in Pd.
