@m_theater It's now working! I've left the eom char value at 10, when I set it to 13 the actor didn't output a number.

I much appreciate your help!

Hi Lucas,

Thanks for the prompt to add this to the Add Ons page. Although it doesn’t really make sense if the Arduino Firmata actor is not already available through the Add Ons page. If the base actor ever makes it there, it will feel more appropriate to add the stepper motor solution.

Best wishes

@bonemap https://learn.sparkfun.com/tut... This is the sensor, I still don't know if firmata will work, but I just got it working with the serial in watcher. Just needed to seperate the values and make them Serial.Println like was suggested above. So the code was this. Then in izzy I just needed a second serial in watcher set to 2. 

#include <SparkFun_ADS1015_Arduino_Library.h>
#include <Wire.h>

ADS1015 fingerSensor;

void setup() {
  
  Wire.begin();
  Serial.begin(115200);
  
  if (fingerSensor.begin() == false) {
     Serial.println("Device not found. Check wiring.");
     while (1);
  } 
  
  fingerSensor.setGain(ADS1015_CONFIG_PGA_TWOTHIRDS); // Gain of 2/3 to works well with flex glove board voltage swings (default is gain of 2)
}

void loop() {  
  int data_1;
  int data_2;
  data_1 = fingerSensor.getAnalogData(0);
  data_2 = fingerSensor.getAnalogData(1);
  Serial.print(1, DEC);
  Serial.println(data_1);
   Serial.print(2, DEC);
  Serial.println(data_2);
 delay(50);
  Serial.println();
}

@skulpture

Thank you:) Ill try that tomorrow:)

I know you have a workaround, but from this code the suggestion in freds post is correct - the code sends the values as often as the board can - way faster than you need. Adding a small delay in the Arduino code should remove the need to reset the actor, and reduce the work you are asking the computer to do. If you add delay(10); just before the final bracket it would stop for 10 milliseconds each time, and you would only be sending the message slightly less than 100 times a second.

@bonemap

It has been a long time since I have worked with it and I cannot guarantee that it is the right file. I hope it helps, though.

PS: I used a board Teensy 3.2 for this project

Hi, If you have a three pin sensor the following Arduino setup is likely to work. If the sensor indicates 5v, it requires the Arduino code to be uploaded to a board with 5v pin like the UNO - which is what I have just tested it on using a 3 pin Pulse Sensor. The pin out is GND, 5V and the data / SIG (signal) pin is A0. If it is a digital pmw then change the signal to a digital pin on the Arduino board.

With the sensor correctly wired to the Arduino attach it to your computer using a USB cable. Start up Arduino.IDE and upload the code at the end of this post to your board of choice. Start up Isadora and from the Communication menu select the Serial Port Setup... In the dialog that opens go to Port 1 and in the pop-up choose the usbmodem14424 or similar as the Device. The Arduino code has a speed set to 9600 so set the speed of Port 1 to match. Leave the other values unchanged from the default. OK the changes and close the dialog. If the usb serial connection is not available you can use the button 'Detect Serial Ports' on the bottom left of the dialog box. When the dialog has closed go back to the Communication menu and check 'Enable Serial Ports'.

In the Isadora patch you want a 'Serial In Watcher - Text' actor with the parameters- 1: port, on: enable, 10: eom char. Inside the "Serial In Watcher' is this parser string: 

"Pulse Data: " pulse_sensor:float=4.#

You can also look at the Windows/Show Monitor to see if the data stream is being received.

Following is the Arduino code:

int Press = A2; int PressCapture; int PulseSensor = A0; int DelayTime = 25; int PulseCapture; void setup(void) {   // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:   Serial.begin(9600);   // while the serial stream is not open, do nothing:    while (!Serial) ; } void loop(void) {   PulseCapture = analogRead(PulseSensor);   PressCapture = analogRead(Press);   Serial.print("Pulse Data: ");   Serial.println(PulseCapture);   Serial.print("Press Data: ");   Serial.println(PressCapture);   delay(DelayTime);  }  

best wishes

and your question is....?

nice to have it this way, but what about the other directon?

 What other direction? Typing and having it translated to morse code? Like this?

Good to hear.. I was actually going thru your code to debug this last night and felt it was on the processing side but couldn't be sure yet.

Hi there, Isadora doesn't like your way of sending data.. I would personally go for the following code :

void osc_doors(int i, int doorID) { OSCMessage msg("doors/" + doorID); if(debug == true) Serial.print("/doors"); if(debug == true) Serial.print(doorID); if(debug == true) Serial.print(","); if(debug == true) Serial.println(i); msg.add(i); Udp.beginPacket(outIp, outPort); msg.send(Udp); // send the bytes to the SLIP stream Udp.endPacket(); // mark the end of the OSC Packet msg.empty(); // free space occupied by message }

This will create the following :

Adress :

/doors/1

With value : i

@jack_trn

How's it going? Did my example answer your question?

That's a lot to keep track of

Definitely one of the reasons that I haven't futzed with my Arduino in a while ;)
