Arduino I have finally taken the plunge and released Servo Tools For Maya to the world! Servo Tools For Maya is a Python Plugin that sends rotational values over USB the the Arduino Micro Controller. These values are then converted in to Pulse Width Modulation which is used to control multiple Hobby RC Servo Motors. Applications for the plugin are only limited to your imagination. Current Features Include:- Control up to 4 Servos simultaneously. Hardware Requirements:- USB Cable- Arduino Micro Controller- At least 1 RC hobby servo Software Requirements:- The Scripts and Plugin available from this page- Python (separate from the one that comes with Maya 8.5+)- PySerial Python Module for Serial Communication- Maya 8.5 or Higher (32-bit only)- Latest Arduino Software PLEASE NOTE:I'm still prepping the Documentation in Video Form.

arduino meets processing - PUSHBUTTON The Arduino meets Processing project intends to make it as easy as possible for anyone to explore the world of physical computing. All you need is an Arduino board as well as the Arduino and Processing software, which you can download on their project websites. On this website we explain how to: set up electronic circuits with various kinds of sensors, control and measure the sensors with the Arduino board, send the data to the computer, and use the received values to generate computer graphics with Processing. For all examples you need some basic electronic equipment such as a breadboard , resistors, the sensors, and some wires. The following sensors are dealt with on this website: Digital Sensors Pushbutton Switch 8 switches Tilt sensor Accelerometer Analog Sensors Potentiometer LDR light sensor NTC temperature sensor Joystick Ultrasound Piezo element as knock sensor All examples contain a list of the parts as well as the Arduino and Processing files you need. 'G' turns the grid ON/OFF
