 Awesome, thanks for the explanation. I'm always happy to learn more

I prefer to use serial because not all the sensors connected to the arduino ar e recognized by firmata.

Firmata works well for simple connections, but i try to set-up  HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. So to setup a simple led connection is just to learn how the send serial works. Eve na simple led burning doesn't work. (You are right, simple connection as described is very good to do with firmata, even better because you don'r have to write any code on the arduino)!

Thanks for your question.

@woland. Thanks for letting me know. I sketched something in using the in-range actor that's working. I'll clean it up and use that.

Could you elaborate on why you prefer Serial over the Arduino Firmata plugin? I don't work with Arduino with any amount of regularity, so I'm genuinely curious if there are benefits/drawbacks associated with the different methods.

Best wishes,

It is not currently possible to programmatically create ranges to push into the inputs of actors like the Control Watcher.

I try to control by send serial.. a LED on a arduino board. I know that is possible with the firmata library, but i like to control it with send serial.

I succeed to receive data from the Arduinoboard (arduino UNO, Arduino Nano, Arduino Uno R4 Wifi) . BY example to receive data from HC-SR04 sensor.

Now i want to set on and off a led on the arduino with a simple keystroke on the keyboard.

But i don't know how to send the data with [Send Serial RAW data][ or [Send Serial Data]?

How do i start, i can't find information how to set-up this.

I am a bit stumped with the Text Formatter. I would like to be able to have two input number and to have the text formatter output a range for the control watcher. For example P1 would be 1 and P2 would be 8 and the text formatter would output 1-8 as a range value I could plug into the control watcher.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

Thank-you

@woland. "Voila" - so much simpler.... thanx

AMAZING. I cannot tell you how much time this will save me as I work through my midi controller patches. I am half done and it has been a slog tracing connections. As always, I really appreciate your input and expertise.

They'll be replaced automatically, but if you're interested in using the beta version right off the bat, feel free to send in a ticket using the link in my signature and I'll send you the form to sign.
