This page will contain random bits of trivia learned while using the Arduino UNO. Hopefully, parts of it will be spun off into other pages for actually using the Arduinos in classes...
Win 8 Machine in 1405
Installation
- Started 3/6/2013 on Win8 PC in 1405A CIEMAS
- Followed directions at http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows
- Installed to Pratt shared space Z:\Projects\Arduino
- Followed other directions at http://blogison.com/guide-install-arduino-drivers-in-windows-8/ when install did not start automatically; had to install manually after allowing unsigned drivers.
- Went through http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Environment
- Installed Ping library http://code.google.com/p/arduino-new-ping/downloads/detail?name=NewPing_v1.5.zip&can=2&q=
- Note - must re-start arduino program after installing a library for that library to be active
- For three-pin ping, tie trigger and sense (11 and 12) together
- Controlled CRM Servo from Parallax using software at http://www.learn.parallax.com/KickStart/900-00008 - power pin on USB-driven Arduino sufficient to run wheels - pretty surprising
Project 1: Leveler
- Mount a spool to a CRM Servo; mount servo ~2' in air and hang object from it
- Mount ping sensor under object to detect distance from sensor
- Enter required height above sensor for object
- Use feedback from ping to control CRM Servo
Win Machine in B209
Note - must use mrglocal account to have full access
- 3/19/2013
- Used software at Pratt shared space Z:\Projects\Arduino
- Drivers...hard to install
