I just bought a starter kit to play with after just being introduced to
them. I wish I has seen these earlier, I can think of a bazillion things to do. But, I'll just flash a LED for now. Too bad the book is in a 3pt font! |

Too bad the book is in a 3pt font! My arduino came from Radio Shack's close out. I started with Blink, got a GRBL driver shield from China and found GRBL and EFL software to stream g-code to the arduino uno. Just now it's sending 3D g-code from a huge down loaded file to test the setup. This is way outside anything I know about. There are some better looking free programs out there but so far the Engineering For Less free program seems to work OK. I don't have to write arduino code with the EFL CNC software. It comes up on google. No CNC machine yet, just 3 steppers and a 12 volt power supply twirling little paper tags. Great fun! |

Too bad the book is in a 3pt font! Actually, the Beagle Bone is a better deal. You get a full Linux system, with all the networking features available. It also has 2 200 MHz 32-bit microcontrollers that have about a dozen pins brought out for each, and shared memory to the Arm CPU. These are great for bit-banging odd protocols, generating step pulses or some other thing that isn't directly supported by on-chip peripherals. I updated a laser photoplotter I built about 16 years ago, using a DMA card on the ISA bus, on a Windows 95 computer. Not only could the microcontroller emulate the DMA card, but it could also unpack run-length encoded data in real time. File sizes of 1000x1000 DPI raster images get big, so compessing them is really nice. I've used various versions of the Beagles for network appliance devices before, and they are great. You can use Glade to develop the user interfaces graphically. Jon |

Too bad the book is in a 3pt font! For mine, I bought some terminal boards that plug in the Arduino from Jameco Electronics. Also I bought a board with a LCD display and some buttons from Hobbypartz.com. Other boards have more capability in pure processing power, but the basic Arduino's work with 5V logic and have the chip in a socket, if you burn it up you can replace for ~$5 with the bootloader in place. The Arduino works with their langauge but you can also us "C" language, so get the documentation for GNU C for more capabilities. I wrote a program that uses timers modeled after Allen Bradley PLC timers. I also have BeagleBone Black and Raspberry PI, they have processing power and lots of memory but I don't feel like I control all the code like I do in an Arduino. Also I can't replace the processor as easily if I make a mistake in the wiring. RogerN |

How does these compare to arduino? The Arduino has a lot more instruction and variable memory. The Arduino compiles your program to actually run in the microcontroller and full speed. The Basic Stamp stores the user program in serial eprom and reads and executes it from there. The Arduino uses the free Gnu C Compiler and their language is just C functions in libraries. You can download the Arduino programming software for free and look at the samples, I thought it was easy to learn. There are Arduino compatible boards for less $$ too. RogerN |

Look at their website to get a better understanding. http://arduino.cc/ And then when you've got your design working, you can build it with just the AVR chip and leave out the other Arduino stuff, if you want to. I've built MANY things that started as Arduino boards for the easy prototyping and ended up as dedicated PC boards. Welcome aboard, Tom. There may be hope for you yet. And all kidding aside, if you can blink and LED, you can do pretty much anything (assuming you also can read an input). If you can blink an LED in response to an input, you really can do anything. And Holy crap, I'm on the same page as RogerN on this as well. Working with smaller controllers lets you get MUCH closer to the hardware. there is no operating system in the way. (zowie, could the end-times REALLY be near? ;-) I don't know if it exists yet, but my interest in Beagle Bone and it's ilk will be higher when there is a real-time deterministic operating system available. No question that some of my designs need more horsepower. Often, I just divide up the tasks and add another AVR. For instance, I'm currently working on a line-scan camera that has four AVRs (all mega 328s). The tasks divide up nicely and I have the tools and the parts, and don't have to learn (or buy) anything new to get the job done. and nobody's going to cry about the $12 worth of extra parts. |

Exactly -- with the question of whether "veni" (came) also translates to the other meaning in English. Sort of like the "Semper ubi sub ubi" (not sure about the spelling) for "Always wear underwear", which also depends on some questionable translations. :-) Enjoy, DoN. -- Remove oil spill source from e-mail Email: | (KV4PH) Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |

I wish I has seen these earlier, I can think of a bazillion things to do. But, I'll just flash a LED for now. Too bad the book is in a 3pt font! They're kind of fun once you get past the horrible software written by confused people they come with. Mine didn't come with people. Perhaps the Chinese left something out of the box? I can fix it. The IDE for arduino stuff is utter **** with a horrible user interface and awful default behavior. It crashes frequently too. But the bones are good- GCC is the underlying compiler. -- Best regards, Spehro Pefhany Amazon link for AoE 3rd Edition: http://tinyurl.com/ntrpwu8 Microchip link for 2015 Masters in Phoenix: http://tinyurl.com/l7g2k48 |

But the bones are good- GCC is the underlying compiler. I dunno, I use Arduino 1.6.0 (not the latest) on Windows 7 & 8.1, with notepad++ as the editor, and it just seems to work. Have not yet tried under linux, but I may be moving in that direction soon. I'm not wild about having files stored all over the place - why are libraries being stored in my Documents directory? But I just plug it in and it goes. For some other products, I just use the gcc tools directly, but for quick & dirty, and to avoid having to write device drivers from scratch, Arduino does save a bunch of time. |

Will you tell me a bit about some of your applications? |
