This is a very simple starter DEMO to access Arduino Diecimila Board for the
Macbook Pro 13" OSX 10.7.5...
A potentiometer is connected between 5V and Gnd with the wiper connected to
ANALOG IN 0 on the Arduino. This was adjusted to give the Ms and Ls as seen...
I now have DC in for this machine AND Linux too as on my Linux tools the device
becomes /dev/ttyUSB0 <WINK, (DC into the AudioScope here we come. ;o)>...
NOTE:- The device below is for MY machine and WILL be different for yours...
It is assumed that you have a Terminal up and running AND you have NOT
plugged in your USB Arduino Board yet...
Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems...

The .PDE file for the Arduino as a test piece, this uses an early version of the
programming SW and I know it won't compile on current versions so you will have
to modify slightly as required...
Code:
/* Using the Arduino as a DEMO single channel ADC for Windows (TM), Linux, */
/* AMIGA, WinUAE and now the Macbook Pro 13 inch OSX 10.7.5... */
/* Set up a variable for basic analogue input. */
int analogue0 = 0;
void setup() {
/* Open the serial port at 9600 bps. */
Serial.begin(9600);
/* Set the analogue voltage reference, DEFAULT is 5V in this case. */
analogReference(DEFAULT);
}
void loop() {
/* Read the 10 bit analogue voltage on analogue input 0. */
analogue0 = analogRead(0);
/* Convert to a byte value by dividing by 4. */
analogue0 = analogue0/4;
/* Send to the Serial Port the byte value. */
Serial.print(analogue0, BYTE);

Normally I'm not into kits, but I thought my wife would enjoy this one since she is a big fan of robots and droids on StarWars!
We are done with the basic mechanical assembly and starting on the electronics assembly today.
The robot's "brain" consists of three levels. The Arduino board, on... (5 Replies)
Normally I have very good experiences buying from AliExpress, but in this case with Elecrow, I'm disappointed.
After confirming with Elecrow on AliExpress that their Elecrow GSM/GPRS/EDGE SIM5360E 3G Shield for Arduino would work with 3G SIM cards in Thailand, I purchased one. My plan was to... (1 Reply)
Today I received my NB-IoT Arduino Shield for AIS (Thailand). Here is a "pinout" photo of the shield.
My shield looks just like the one above, for the most part. I'll post another photo of the actual device later.
When I received the shield in the mail, I went immediately to a local... (8 Replies)
My favorite projects are always related to the "latest" tech in command and control, networking and network communications. This Elecrow GSM/GPRS/EDGE SIM5360E 3G Shield seems to be the "latest and the greatest" as far as 3G and GPS, as far as I can see so far, but I has it drawbacks for sure.... (6 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.
Normally, when the Arduino starts... (9 Replies)
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.

In my further exploration of Arduino, today I decided to install the arduino-cli on my mac today.

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)
