Having got the parts (the tricky bit), below is the final wiring of an arduino on a breadboard. The battery holder (from maplins) contains 4 x ordinary AA 1.5v batteries. The trick is to keep an eye on this pin-mapping diagram which shows which pins should have what going into them. Here is the finished […]
So, the next requirement is to be able to programme the chip on the arduino diecimila board, then remove that chip, and place it on a breadboard that will be battery-powered and sit on the mount itself. The chip will receive instructions over bluetooth and then process them (eg turn the Altitude stepper motor 100 […]
capeMirror also needs to be controlled using ‘on-board’ controls (up, down, left, right). Fortunately, it proved pretty easy to programme the Arduino to do this – although this excellent tutorial helped. The tricky bit was the wiring. The Wiring The wiring can be seen on the right. There are four push buttons wired into analog […]
this little sketch along with the vb .Net script below builds on the previous examples, but this time having completed the sketch the arduino sends a message: “[Arduino;Bluesmirf;Baltaz]”. This is then read by the windows .Net application using the SerialPort.DataReceived event in .Net. In short, it appears to my untrained eyes that the windows application […]
having got the bluesmirf working, now time to start sending and receiving some proper data between a computer and the arduino. this post is divided into: Part 1: sending data from […]
