ArduinoBlue class
phone(Stream obj) - Constructor pass SoftwareSerial object. Alternatively, you can pass any Serial. For example, on the Arduino Mega you can pass phone(Serial2) instead. Note if you use Serial, you won't be able to use serial communication through USB.
int getButton() - Returns once the ID of the button that was pressed. Returns -1 otherwise.
int getSliderId() - Returns once the slider ID of the slider that was moved. Returns -1 otherwise.
int getSliderVal() - Returns the value of the slider of the slider that was moved.
int getThrottle() - Returns the throttle value of the joystick.
int getSteering() - Returns the steering value of the joystick.
void sendMessage(String text) - Sends the text to the phone as a popup.
String getText() - Returns the text that was sent from the app's text box.
So, I was able to easily send test messages (using BLE) from the Arduino UNO back to the iPhone ArdunioBlue app using the sendMessage() method.
Basically, from all the testing I did so far, I'm quite happy with ArduinoBlue for IOS.
I think next I may combine this BLE app with NB-IoT to send command and control (C2) messages via BLE from my iPhone to a server on the Internet using an NB-IoT network and get C2 status messages and alerts back from the remote server to my iPhone the same way.
I am working on a semi-auto detection idea for Arduino for the Scope project.
It does require a little user intervention but minimal.
It works by just responding to two on screen prompts to unplug and plug Arduino
into a USB port.
There are two versions and both work perfectly well and give... (3 Replies)

Here is some very easy code to test a cheap Arduino board I just got from China via Aliexpress. I am still waiting on a about 30 more orders from Aliexpress for more Arduino stuff. This was the first order which made it here.

HI all...
(Apologies for any typos.)
To add to Neo's Arduino subject matter I have decided to upload this in ".zip" format.
Ignore "*.info" files these are AMIGA icons only and also the "HAM" drawer as these are photos in ancient AMIGA HAM modes.

Waiting for more fun Ardunio parts from AliExpress, I decided to test two cheap Chinese Arduino UNO clones.
The Arduino UNO R3 (CH340G) MEGA328P
The Wavgat UNO R3 (CH340G) MEGA328P
Both of these Chinese Ardunio clones sell for about $3 USD, delivered to your door.
The bottom line is... (0 Replies)
Just finished a quick Python script to send the current unix time over to the Arduino from macOS, so in the absence of GPS or some other way to get the unix timestamp (epoch time) to the Arduino, I can get my macOS and Arduino UNO synced to within a second.

This post describes a "work in progress" project I started today. Here is the High Level Overview:
Currently, this project sits on my desk as an Arduino UNO (on the bottom), an NB-IoT Shield (sandwiched in the middle), a Sensor Shield (on top) with a HM-10 BLE Module (in the little... (13 Replies)

ARD-PARSE-BOARDS(1) General Commands Manual ARD-PARSE-BOARDS(1)NAME
ard-parse-boards - Read data from the Arduino boards.txt file
USAGE
Dump all the data in the file:
$ ard-parse-boards --dump
See which boards we know about:
$ ard-parse-boards --boards
Look for a particular board...
$ ard-parse-boards --find uno
multiple terms are implicitly ANDed:
$ ard-parse-boards --find duemil 328
Dump all the data for a particular board:
$ ard-parse-boards atmega328
Extract a particular field:
$ ard-parse-boards atmega328 build.f_cpu
DESCRIPTION
The Arduino software package ships with a boards.txt file which tells the Arduino IDE details about particular hardware. So when the user
says he's got a shiny new Arduino Uno, boards.txt knows that it has a 16MHz ATmega328 on it. It would be nice to access these data from the
command line too.
In normal operation you simply specify the tag given to the board in the boards.txt file, and optionally a field name. This program then
extracts the data to STDOUT.
Most boards have names which are quite unwieldy, so we always refer to a board by a tag, not its name. Strictly the tag is the bit before
the first dot in the boards.txt key. You can see a list of board tags and names with the "--boards" option.
OPTIONS
--boards_txt=[file]
Specify the full path to the boards.txt file.
The following options all disable the normal 'lookup' operation.
--dump Dump the complete database in YAML format.
--boards
Print a list of the tag and name of every board in the file.
--find [query] <query> ...
Find matching data. Strictly, return a list of values which match all of the query terms, treating each term as a case-insensitive
regexp.
For example:
--find 328
List data containing 328 (anywhere in the value).
--find due
List data containing 'due' (e.g. duemilanove).
--find 328 due
List data containing both 328 and due.
