    Another great meeting on Monday night, My Machine is nearing completion. The mechanics and Electronics are complete, The Teacup firmware is installed and it sort of prints, just adjustment left to go. (Watch out for some more pictures and a brief write up on both my blog and the RepRap builders Blog, when I get to them)

    Keith brought along his…[Read more]

    Great, found this group. Heard about Arduino for a few years, only recently got an ‘excuse’ to play with it: building a (bipolar) stepper motor controller for telescope drive. My background is a programmer, I knew some electronics from my teenage days.

    Here’s the question: I am in the process of acquiring Arduino Uno and the Motor Drive…[Read more]

      I’ve not had much experience with motor controllers yet, all I know is that the Arduino’s pins alone don’t provide enough current to drive them, so they require some indirect control (eg. via a transistor). Sounds like the shield you have should take care of that though, so I can only recommend breadboarding something and seeing what happens.…[Read more]

    Just found this Javascript Arduino Uno interface. Not played with it yet though, will have to wait until I get home http://www.schillmania.com/projects/arduino-js/

      Actually, scratch that it also uses Flash, which I don’t allow on my machines :(

      HI, I’ve been looking for something like this as well and so looked at that site and found this mentioned at the top https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-arduino

      that is a library for the Node.js javascript webserver for talking to arduino.

      Ooo very nice, thanks for this :) For my current project I’ve been trying to send JSON back and forth over serial, eg. send ‘{“digitalread”:5, “digitalread”:2, “analoguewrite”: {“pin”:3, “value”:512}}’, get back ‘{“digitalvalue”:{“pin”:5, “value”:1}, “digitalvalue”:{“pin”:2, “value”:0}}’. This quite a high-level thing to…[Read more]

    Thought I should announce that I am working on an arduino related project.
    http://stretch.deedah.org/waterbear/ is my attempt to make a scratch type graphical programming environment for writing arduino code.

    It is no where near ready yet but John Mosley reports he can write the blink script in it already.

    The project is based on the graphical…[Read more]
