Okay, so I’ve been trying to read everything I can to understand this. But still struggling..
So I bought the Yun for a project I’m making, a glove and video based music system, and thought it would be as straightforward to use Firmata and Maxuino to get the information I needed from the arduino wirelessly in to Max/msp.
I’ve used Maxuino for other things before with my Duemilanove and even the Yun over usb and it works perfectly, it’s just the wireless part that I’m totally stuck on.
And Just to confirm UDP will not work due to needing to run a Python script. (right?)
Kinda goes over my head, but does it mean that it’s much simpler than it looks? I can’t seem to find someone with a definitive answer, and don’t want to spend a very long time learning something to find out it’s the wrong thing.
And just to confess that I’m definitely not very good at Arduino coding, and tend to do most things in Max/Msp so could really do with any help here at all!
I've been trying to use Firmata with my Yun, and it just never worked.
Windows 7 OS
A uploaded the "standard firmata" sketch from the very last firmata library. No problem there.
My connection port is at the baud rate suggested on firmata website.
But the firmata test soft cannot see anything.
Still when i'm using maxuino (i check arduino Uno, i assume it's the closest to the yun), the light test work, but nothing else doesn't... and it's pretty touchy, not very reliable (drops very often)
How did you have it working ? (even just thru the micro-USB)
Thanks
(i also need to get the data thru wifi actually, considering the touchy behavior of maxuino/firmata i'm personally tending to use the Z_OSC library to send the data through wifi, and spend a couple of nights coding an arduino skectch, if a happen to succeed on anything, maybe with help from a friend, i should definitely share it)
Hey, I was using OS X and standard firmata. Everything worked okay, just needed to make sure the pins were set correectly, I think I might have needed to not use the GUI actually... I just used the other patch and programmed everything that way. Not ideal but it did work.
Good luck with that! I tried but had no luck there, nothing would work for some reason.
Hi esbjerg,
I'm very interested to buy some arduino yun, and using they with firmata and max over wifi.
Do you think that is possible to use multiple arduino yun at the same time to control stepper motors with max?
