Instrumentino is an instrument control system designed to interface with various smart or semi smart systems.

I want compile it and run on my Uno.  See [[Russ's Computer Environment]]

Prepackaged with the system is a program that makes an arduino a sort of smart sensor ( this in C++ ) and the Python code to interface with this Arduino which we will call the controlino

Well, not so bad.  Useful to know that my Spyder already had wxpython, came with it or I installed, who knows.  Also useful to know wxpython is called wx.  This helps a lot.

Draft

Just a draft may or may not be completed. See also: Instrumentino Notes

What is Controlino

It is the Arduino component of Instrumentino Notes

Links to what the authors think:


Get it Running

I want compile it and run on my Uno. See Russ's Computer Environment

Ton of files ( well maybe 10 ) on gitHub.

  • Seems the only one that matters much is controlino.cpp.
  • Download it.
  • Make a new arduino project. I called mine controlino_ino.
  • In the project's file, controlino_ino.ino, paste the contents of controlino.cpp.
  • Follow the directions in the file.
  • Compile.
  • Worked the first time.
  • Now have something on my uno. What?
  • More comming

Protocol

What is the Protocol? Have not found any documents. Reading the code and probing with my terminal. Send a command and get a response.

  • commands appear not to be caps sensitive
  • use a cr at end of commands
  • at end of command Arduino says "done/r"
  • BlinkPin <pin> <ms to blink>
    • BlinkPin 7 200 => works


  • set xxx yyy => sets pin n to input or output ( digital ) if pin is out of range o..
    • set 3 in => think this is correct syntax
    • set in 3 => looks incorrect
    • set xxx yyy => cannot be valid but no error message, no error may be ok
