![]() More importantly we want something with a data plan so we can use google maps, etc. We want to purchase 2 prepaid sim cards to take with us so we can call each other, places in the USA and home to Australia a few times. We will be going to Anaheim, Las Vegas, New York & Hawaii. We love the variety, the ambition, and look forward to seeing your awesome projects.Hi I am travelling to the USA next month for 3 weeks. We do not have the resources to test them all but we would LOVE to hear any success stories using any Arduinos outside the recommended set. Any board that follows the protocols of the Arduino, can be programmed with the Arduino IDE, and enumerates as a serial resource in MAX should theoretically be compatible with the Arduino toolkit but unfortunately we have not been able to test every different wonderful flavor of Arduinos out there. NanoT, I also noticed you had a Arduino-compatible DFduino MEGA1280. With any other kind of Arduino, such as one connected through XBee, Bluetooth, any Arduino earlier than UNO, or any Arduino-compatible boards, the programmer has to manually choose which VISA resource in the input of the Init.vi in order for the connection to be successfully established. We could, however, add the functionality for any Arduino's that readily identified themselves as such. As the developers, we wanted to add the functionality of Auto Detect but did not put together a way to detect every flavor of Arduino. As you can see in the second picture, sometimes an Arduino does not appear with an Interface Name including the actual word "Arduino." As an example, you can see COM7 does not say "Arduino Duemilanove" and this is why it does not work with Auto Detect. The next part of the Auto Detect VI checks all serial instruments for the Interface Name. Why the Auto Detect does not work for all Arduinos: This would be how you could connect to a bluetooth Arduino or compatible bluetooth connection. This is the recommended and fully tested Arduino.ĬOM16&17: This is how a serial-over-bluetooth connection appears to MAX. In MAX we see a number of serial ports available:ĬOM7: Though listed as a USB Serial Port, this is how a Arduino Duemilanove (2009) shows up in MAX due to the FTDI chip on the Arduino Duemilanove that handles the USB to serial conversion.ĬOM15: Arduino UNO. To see what that list returns we can either right click on it's output and create an indicator or we can see what MAX shows: Next we use the VISA Find Resource to find all VISA items that are Serial Items with the command "ASRL?*::INSTR". That is to say if there is a VISA resource chosen, do not autodetect, just wire through the chosen VISA resource. When we open up this Auto Detect VI we see that the first thing we do is to see if the VISA Resource Control is empty. When we open up the block diagram the first VI we notice is the Auto Detect VI (convenient, right?): We can do this by double clicking on the VI to see the front panel of Init.vi and going to Window> Show Block Diagram to see what's going on behind the scenes. To explore the interesting situation of why why Auto detect, let's open up Init.vi. Luckily, for things like the autodetection feature, everything is open source down to the VISA calls so understanding why something does or does not work in the toolkit as expected is as easy as double clicking on the VI in question or opening the firmware. I think the "board type" has no effects with it right?Īs well put together as the toolkit is, sometimes it is hard to ensure we cover every possible question in the documentation. On the 328, I was not able to get it to work, despite setting the right VISA resources which is (ASR元::INST). I would love to get the auto detect to work.Ģ) Sometimes when working on the arduino VIs, despite running the program successfully,when I click " run" again, it starts to throw me errors saying Arduino is not connected, and I need to unplug and replug the USB and manually configure the VISA again. Suspect that it got to do with the "init.vi". Please make sure the Arduino is connected to your system and that the Arduino drivers are installed." Everytime when I tried to run some Arduino VIs, I have to configured the VISA resources manually.ġ) "error 5005 : "Unable to find Arduino. But "Auto detect Arduino.VI" was not working at all. ![]() ![]() The 1280 works on some some of the examples ( eg. There are 2 Arduino hardware I'm tested: duemilanove328 (ASR元::INST) and DFduino MEGA1280(ASRL4::INST). The Arduino firmwares( the 3 files) were uploaded properly. After messing around for the whole day, I have managed to get VIPM to work and installed the LIFA package.
