Hi I have a Duemilanove and an Uno. I am using two boards because I need 8 PWM pins (using 4 from each).
All I need to do is send 4 numbers to the Arduino and use those 4 values to set the PWM output on 4 pins.
I am having trouble sending serial communication to/from my Uno to a computer (the Duemilanove works great) and really need to get this solved today (thanks for the help)
I connect the Duemilanove to my computer and it shows up as device /dev/ttyUSB0 and I connect the Uno to my computer and it shows up as device /dev/ttyACM0.
If I send serial communication from the Arduino IDE the UNO communicates fine. If I try sending from my computer it fails to find the device.
I have debugged it and found that the method
Enumeration portEnum = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
does not return /dev/ttyACM0 as a device (it does return /dev/ttyUSB0 which is why the Duemilanove works)
Any way to get around this? I am kinda desperate on this.
This is my Arduino code (both boards have same code)
// Communication with Antenna
int inByte = 0; // Incoming serial byte
int outputPin1 = 11;
int outputPin2 = 10;
int outputPin3 = 9;
int outputPin4 = 6;
void setup() {
// Open a serial connection to the computer
Serial.begin(9600);
// Set the PWM ports to output
pinMode(outputPin1,OUTPUT);
pinMode(outputPin2,OUTPUT);
pinMode(outputPin3,OUTPUT);
pinMode(outputPin4,OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
Serial.println("Recieved Message");
// Get incoming byte, Echo the number back to
// the computer then write voltage to PWN pin
inByte = Serial.read();
Serial.println(inByte);
analogWrite(outputPin1, inByte);
delay(20);
inByte = Serial.read();
Serial.println(inByte);
analogWrite(outputPin2, inByte);
delay(20);
inByte = Serial.read();
Serial.println(inByte);
analogWrite(outputPin3, inByte);
delay(20);
inByte = Serial.read();
Serial.println(inByte);
analogWrite(outputPin4, inByte);
delay(20);
}
}
