Ok, I have googled my problem. Found the solution to the digital driver signing problem, and got all my other Arduino boards working just fine. Arduino Diecemila, Mega, Nano etc etc.

But when connecting my Arduino UNO it just says:

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

I tried pointing it to the latest FTDI driver folder, but it just won't do the trick. So I'm hoping anyone here have a solution? Help?

So, there are many other functions other than those listed on Arduino.cc-Reference?

Thanks so much for the help I understand much much more than before I read your answers

I'm getting the Ok. But I found an example on a blog:
http://genericnerd.blogspot.no/2012/07/arduino-sending-integers-over-rf-with.html

So I took it, and merged it with the DHT11.

double T = log(VP/0.61078);   // temp var

double a = 17.271;
double b = 237.7;
double temp = (a * celsius) / (b + celsius) + log(humidity/100);
double Td = (b * temp) / (a - temp);
return Td;
}

}

Now it's working. Not sure I understand exactly how it parses the int over. I sure need to study arrays more. And just experiment with em.

Hm, got no compiling errors, but it won't send. Led 13 won't even light up, so it can't have gotten that far into the program

Code:

#include <dht11.h>
dht11 DHT11;
#define DHT11PIN 2
#include <VirtualWire.h>

double dewPoint(double celsius, double humidity)
{
double A0= 373.15/(273.15 + celsius);
double SUM = -7.90298 * (A0-1);
SUM += 5.02808 * log10(A0);
SUM += -1.3816e-7 * (pow(10, (11.344*(1-1/A0)))-1) ;
SUM += 8.1328e-3 * (pow(10,(-3.49149*(A0-1)))-1) ;

double VP = pow(10, SUM-3) * humidity;
double T = log(VP/0.61078);   // temp var

double Td = (b * temp) / (a - temp);
return Td;
}

int tempsend;
char tempconv;
char fuck;

    Serial.begin(9600);   // Debugging only
    Serial.println("setup");
    Serial.println("DHT11 TEST PROGRAM ");
    Serial.print("LIBRARY VERSION: ");
    Serial.println(DHT11LIB_VERSION);
    Serial.println();

    // Initialise the IO and ISR
    vw_setup(2000); // Bits per sec
}

void loop()
{
     Serial.println("\n");

  int chk = DHT11.read(DHT11PIN);

  Serial.print("Read sensor: ");
  switch (chk)
  {
    case 0: Serial.println("OK"); break;
    case -1: Serial.println("Checksum error"); break;
    case -2: Serial.println("Time out error"); break;
    default: Serial.println("Unknown error"); break;
  }

  int convert = DHT11.temperature;

   char *msg;
   msg[0] = highByte(convert);
   msg[1] = lowByte(convert);

    digitalWrite(13, true); // Flash a light to show transmitting
    vw_send((uint8_t *)msg, strlen(msg));
    vw_wait_tx(); // Wait until the whole message is gone
    digitalWrite(13, false);
    delay(2000);
}

Hm, sorry for not understanding. But the value I'm sending could just be a normal int.

Code:

   Serial.print("Temperature (oC): ");
  int convert = DHT11.temperature;
  Serial.println(convert);


   char *msg[3] = convert;

    digitalWrite(13, true); // Flash a light to show transmitting
    vw_send((uint8_t *)msg, strlen(3));
    vw_wait_tx(); // Wait until the whole message is gone
    digitalWrite(13, false);
    delay(2000);

So after converting my float value to a int, it's basically the value of 23-25 around there. What do you mean by put 4 byte in msg[0] thru msg[3]?

Thanks for all the help so far!

Thanks!

But I've ran into another problem, the VirtualWire library is hard to understand.

I'm using a DHT11 to measure the temperature, now getting the readings from the DHT11 is easy, getting em shown in the serial monitor is easy.

Problem comes when I want to send the readings using VirtualWire, thats hard Or I'm sure I'm missing something...

This is my code:

Problems starts in "char *msg = char(DHT11.temperature);" it seems.

Since it complains I can't do "'int' to 'char*'", I tried to set a char() conversion first. But then it complains about this "'char' to 'char*'". So I try to remove the * infront of MSG, but then I get the warning about a constant char...

I'm really confused here, anyone want to help me think this one out?

Sigh, I wish VirtualWire would have more examples showing how to send other values than 'const char'.

So, I'm testing the RF434, with VirtualWire. And is there a way to make it translate what it recieved into a text? Instead of hex codes for each letter.

I've been looking for a serial lcd display that either has more lines, or more chars on each line than the regular 20x4 ones. and that comes bundled with a lcd driver.

Not sure "regular" you are referring to but many graphics lcds go (way) above that and many of them are serial.

Any recommendations for a "starter" graphic-LCD?
The GLCD? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arduino-LCD-Shield-Pro-GLCD-128x64-LCD-/130567092608?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6667b980

I've been looking for a serial lcd display that either has more lines, or more chars on each line than the regular 20x4 ones. and that comes bundled with a lcd driver.

Anyone know of some?

Made this simple yet cool led blinker, it just blinks several leds depending on how loud the sound is.
It's pretty neat and blinks perfectly to beats. It looks much better in real action rather than on the video
because of the fps. But you get the idea of how it looks.





I also did a quick tutorial on my blog for this: http://stigern.net/blog/?p=332

I've done a small tutorial on howto turn on and off a led with serial from C# to a Arduino.



Can be read here -> http://stigern.net/blog/?p=349

Well, I'm working on a small robot, and I need a way to measure the voltage on the batteries. So far I've just hooked + up to the analog0, and gets a value. But it seems like the analog reference gets lowered to the voltage the arduino is getting fed with.

Are there a way around this?

Ah, found the solution here http://arduino.cc/pipermail/developers_arduino.cc/2011-September/005668.html

So I updated the library to work with 1.0. Get it here:
http://stigern.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=34

Well, I've just downloaded the Ultrasonic library for the HC-SR04: http://iteadstudio.com/produce/cheap-cheap-ultrasonic-ranging-modulehc-sr04/

And in Arduino 022 it compiles perfectly with no errors, but when using the library in Arduino 1.0 I get this error:

Code:

In file included from UltrasonicDemoMod.cpp:1:
D:\Programming\Arduino\Arduino\libraries\Ultrasonic/Ultrasonic.h:11:22: error: WProgram.h: No such file or directory

My project code is the following:

Code:

#include "Ultrasonic.h"
Ultrasonic ultrasonic(12,13);

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.print("testing...");
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.print(ultrasonic.Ranging(CM));
  Serial.println(" cm.");
  delay(100);
}

How come WProgram.h is no more in Arduino 1.0? or maybe it has been renamed?

I select that board type and compiled just fine. Perhaps you need to uninstall and reinstall the Arduino IDE.

This is strange, I decided to try and unpack the Arduino IDE one more time. But instead of overwriting the files, I deleted the old ones first. And now it's compiling ! Thanks for all the great help, and I'm sorry for not trying this in the first place
