arduinoRead

arduinoRead — Read data from an arduino port using the Csound-Arduino protocol.

Description

Plugin opcode in serial.

Read integer data from an arduino port with CsoundArduino protocol.

Syntax

kval arduinoRead iPort, iStream[, iSmooth]

Performance

iPort -- port number obtained from a arduinoStart opcode.

iStream -- Number of the data stream in range 0 to 30.

iSmooth -- halftime of a portamento filter to smooth the stream of data. Defaults to 0 meaning no filtering.

kval -- data to read in range [0, 1023].

Examples

Here is an example of the arduinoRead opcode. It uses the file arduinoRead.csd.

Example 63. Example of the arduinoRead opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.

Arduino-Joystick2Csound1g-fm1-port (version with smoothing)

- Push Joystick button to turn on note
- Use JoystickX to offset and control the modulation index of
  the foscil opcode from 0-40 via the scale opcode
- Use JoystickY to offset and control the Frequency of the foscil
  opcode up/down two octaves via the scale opcode

// BreadBoard & Arduino Setup

// Insert the Joystick Controller into the breadboard
// NOTE:  Joystick Pins (in order from left to right) are:
           GND, 5V, vrX, vrY, SW
// Connect the power rails on breadboard to 5V and GND on Arduino
// Connect GND and 5V from Joystick to + and - power rails on
//         the breadboard
// Connect Joystick vrX on breadboard to Analog In A0 on the Arduino
// Connect Joystick vrY on breadboard to Analog In A1 on the Arduino
// Connect Joystick SW on breadboard to Digital Pin 2 on Arduino

// Arduino pin numbers
// Note: Because of the way that the Joystick stands up in a
//       breadboard, in this example the vrX and vrY have been swapped.
