Arduino and motion sensor - No signal
-
Ive just purchased an arduino and a PIR sensor but I am having trouble getting it to trigger anything in isadora. I haven't used Arduino before.
What I want to achieve:
I want to use the PIR (Passive Infrered Sensor) to capture a stage take a picture when movement is detected.
What is working:
I have successfully (with the thanks to Claude) uploaded a sketch to the Arduiono IDE. The serial monitor in the IDE correctly outputs the 1's a 0's when detecting movement. I have closed down the IDE. before opening Isadora. The TX led on the Arduino board also flashes when triggered by the PIR. SO I feel confident this part of it is working?
I have opened the serial port set up dialogue box. set the port to 1, left the baud to 9600 and left everything else as is.
I have tried using both the serial in watcher - binary & text. Ive also tried to the best of my ability, the Arduino Firmata actor with a the recommended sketch and have looked at some of the documentation but it seems like some of this is quite old and the firmata test applications are no longer on git hub.
Nothing seems to work. I was under the impression. that arduino was pretty straight forward.MacBook Pro M1 with Tahoe
