“Hello World” Running Arduino IDE Serial Monitor on Gertboard

 So you have tried the following code and include Serial.println(“Hello World!”); in your sketch yet nothing happens? To see printed messages on the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor,  you need to link up the broken-out Raspberry pins as follows:  Raspberry Mini UART TXD (GPIO pin 14) -> Gertboard MCRX (1 jumper) Raspberry Mini UART RXD (GPIO pin 15) ->…

Install and Test Arduino IDE with Raspberry Pi and Gertboard

0. Make sure ATMega wires are propertly setup. 1. Install Arduino IDE sudo apt-get install arduino 2. Instal AVRdude, a small tool to transfer sketches over to the board. cd /tmp wget http://project-downloads.drogon.net/gertboard/avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/avrdude 3. Automate some process of avoiding potential serial port conflicts

Using Gertboard ATmega as Arduino board

Gertboard is a great IO extension that has the capability of mimicing behaviour of an Arduino board through its ATMega channels. To set it up, you need to: 1. Connect the Gertboard wires as follows: GPIO pin 8 with ISP pin 5 (RESET) GPIO pin 9 with ISP pin 1 (MISO) GPIO…

OpenELEC advantages over RaspBMC or XBian

Here we go again. We got confused which OS to download and install for our Raspbery Pi Media Centre. Two major OS although there is a new challenger XBian. Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center (OpenELEC) is a small Linux distribution built from scratch as a platform to turn your computer into an…

UDOO = Raspberry Pi + Arduino on one integrated board!

Crowd funding for the latest hybrid has started! Udoo has the power of 4 times Raspberry Pi’s and the capability to easily connect to sensors, and takes commands from Arduino IDE too! More info: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/435742530/udoo-android-linux-arduino-in-a-tiny-single-board
