Connecting Arduino to ARC
Customizing Firmware
The firmware can be modified and optimized for additional features. When the firmware is modified, the new capabilities must be registered with Synthiam website.
I should add a disclaimer that this tutorial is not complete. You can customize the EZ-Arduino firmware with new features (called capabilities) that ARC will recognize, although that part of this tutorial hasn't been completed yet.
Any for that board will work. They just create a virtual COM port in Windows, which you select in ARC.
All these updates are so exciting!
DJ, I assume you can use the EZ-B as connection 0 and add the arduino to connection 1 to give yourself additional I/O correct?
What If the arduino has WiFi already? Can we use it wirelessly?
Yes to the ezb #1
yes to the WiFi version of arduino. Look in the getting started guide for the WiFi enabled arduino
Great tutorial
I used my Arduino today, com3 on ARC
sharp sensor:
used port ADC3
sharp IR radar
ADC graph
ADC meter
ADC read
All went well
That's great news! Appreciate the feedback
@DJ-Sures,
Any updates on adding "Capabilities"? I'm looking to use an Arduino Mega as an EZ-B controller, but need to add (I think?) a library to manage some Neo Pixels. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
John
