[PD] Arduino (is drivin me mad

[Ingo Scherzinger]

This is the same problem I had described several times before. There is an
error in the 8-bit block where the digital ins 2+3 are coming in. It can be
traced somewhere in the mapping section. I'll try to finally look it up
tomorrow.

Betreff: [PD] Arduino (is drivin me mad

 

Hi All,

 

I apologie if this is off-topic. Please let me know if you think it is.

 

I have been working on my arduino-based pedal, and im faced with a peculiar
problem right now. I'm using 8 digital inputs ( 6 on the first socket of the
board, inputs 2 through 8, and 2 on the second digital socket, inputs 9 and
10). The first 6 inputs work perfectly, but when i want to use any of the
last two inputs (9 and 10), i have to trigger them twice before they start
working. Then i'm faced with the exact same problem when i get back to the
first 6 inputs. I am pretty sure that i used the very same wiring for all 8
inputs.

 

So... I thought that maybe this could be a problem with firmata or pduino
(no offense, Hans!). I have been spending the last hour trying to write a
simple program in the arduino software in order to print in serial monitor
the values of my digital inputs. 

 

Now my question... Is the arduino software just really really bad? Or was it
just not designed to work on an ubuntu machine? It is randomly very slow at
start-up, it randomly disables the serial port menu in Tools, it randomly
decides to prevent me from uploading the program in the board, or warns me
that serial port dev/ttyACM0 is already in use, or can't be found. The fact
that i unplug and replug the board, or change the usb port, or restart the
software doesn't seem to make any difference. 

 

This is beginning to look more like witchcraft than computer science to me.

 

Please help me, or i'll teach it how to fly out my window.

 

Thank you.

 

Pierre
