Arduino

Arduino can be used as a Falcon output device with the SerialOutput processor. It is using in background the serial library developed by Lucidar.

The serial port should be manually specify in the config file of the graph used.

Note

For latency purpose, only a character should be sent. In case of a string with a 9600 baud, a character is sent every 10ms.

Example to read 1 char send by falcon to arduino

int BAUDRATE = 9600;  // bit per second
char buffer = 'n';

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(BAUDRATE);     // connect to the serial port at BAUDRATE bits per second
  Serial.setTimeout(1); // 1 ms time-out for serial readout
}

void loop () {
  Serial.readBytes(&buffer, 1);
  // Process here depending of the received character
  buffer = 'n';
}
