arduino basic serial comm (el-wire control)	Can't Post

we wanted to send on/off pulses to an el-wire (electroluminescent wire). this code did it for us in arduino:

Code

int ctrlPin = 11;  
int val = 0;  
int value; 
int value_a = 0;  
 
 
void setup() 
{ 
  Serial.begin(19200); 
  pinMode(ctrlPin, OUTPUT);   
} 
 
void loop() 
{ 
  if (Serial.available() > 0) { 
    value_a = Serial.read(); 
    if(value_a == 1){ 
      digitalWrite(ctrlPin, HIGH); 
    }  
    else { 
      digitalWrite(ctrlPin, LOW); 
    } 
  } 
}

and then a "send serial" actor with "P1 00" and "P1 01" in isadora to send the on and off to the ctrlPin. isadora defaults on a slower serial speed so one must set it to 19200 or whatever one used in the arduino script.

The el-wire hangs off a mosfet as described in the excellent pdf by massimo: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Booklet/HomePage
