Serial.read() - Gets one byte of incoming serial data. Serial.available() return 0 until new data arrived on the serial port. After you have read() everything available, int Serial.available() - returns how many unread bytes are available on the serial port Serial.write(data) - sends some data to the serial port. Serial.print(“th time.\n”) // this line equivalent to Serial.println(“th time.”) Serial.print(“ Hello, just saying for the “) Arduino Sketch // No need to add any header file or library in order to On the Arduino UNO, there is an ATmega16U2 chip installed, this chip was pre-programmed to be used as USB-to-Serial converter. On previous version of Arduino, Duemilanove, Diecimila, used FT232R chip. With this connection, it can also be used by the sketches that we write in Arduino to send data back to the computer or to receive commands from it.Īrduino is already included Serial comm in it Program. And click at "Install Software" button.Ĭlick at "Close" button, after the installer successfully installed the driver.Īrduino is a simple computer with a small memory.Īrduino uses an USB connection that is used by the IDE to upload a sketch into processor. Last step, the installer will ask for user name and password. Change the folder as require, otherwise keep it as default by click at "Continue" button.

The installation window page will ask you if you want to install the driver to different place than the default folder - Macintosh HD. After read through the read me messages, click "Continue" button. The Read Me page displays the read me message. The installer window displays the installation steps. Open the file, there are two packages contain in the.

It appeared in the "Downloads folder" as FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_18.dmg file.

Scroll down, and select driver suitable for your operating system (In this presentation, we were using Mac OS X 2.2.18)ĭownload to your computer. Note: I used XB-Buddy Kits and XB-Buddy Basic Kit in this presentation. To use USB to Serial Converter i.e FTDI Cable, XB-Buddy, Adafruit's FTDI Friend, Sparkfun's as the Serial Communication between computer and micro controller we need to install a driver (Virtual Comm Port). To connect micro-controller to computer such as laptops, desktops that equipped with RS232 (with voltage level between -12V to +12V) we need a voltage level converter from TTL to RS232 or USB to Serial Converter. Two micro-controllers can directly connecting to each other, since this is just a digital I/O pins with the voltage levels between 0V and 3.3V (or 5V) The UART baud rates are in the range of 300. This predefined speed of sending/receiving is called baud rateīaud rate is the number of transmitted bits per one second (bps) To transfer data in opposite direction, a similar circuit is constructed at the opposite sideĮach circuit can work together or independentlyĮach side can send/receive data at anytime with the same predefined speed Transmitter and receiver are using separate circuit This complete one direction of transferring the data. When the transmitter sends out zeros(0) and ones(1), the receiver is checking for incoming data on RXD pin at the same speed that the transmitter is sending UART is one of the oldest and most common interfacesĭata is send out on UART TXD pin in a sequence at a predefined speed, one byte at a time Serial communication means UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) or RS232 Solder - Rosin Core (Radio Shack #64-013)īrief Introduction to Serial Communication If you're are scratch building DIY Arduino and DIY Motors Driver Following is the parts list, (See Step 11 for Schematics and Diagrams) battery power (example used was 1:16 Scale Ford Mustang Shelby GT 2010, with 7.5VDC) Driver & SoftwaresĪrduino IDE Parts list for DIY Motors Driver PCB and DIY Arduino XB-Buddy, Adafruit's FTDI Friend, Sparkfun's Breakoutboard, Librelium's. I also provided the step-by-step details (Step 11) to build the PCB, and modification of the R/C car (which was not shown at the presentation).

In case, if you want to build the project, below are the list of Hardware, Software and Parts. Second part, was an in-depth workshop on working with the XBee configuration, the Processing's Serial library, Arduino's Serial and SoftwareSerial library. (this instructable - Processing Controls R/C Car with Wireless XBee modules) Wireless (Bluetooth) Control Pop-Bot Make Wired Robotic Arm Edge to "Wireless" with DIY Arduino + XBee and Wireless Finger Drum, XB-Buddy and XB-Buddy Basic KitsĪnd introduced a new project. The presentation was divided into two parts, first part was about my few past works:
