How To Save Sensor Data From Arduino To a Text File
There are very complex ways of saving sensor data from Arduino to a text file. Also there are easy program. There was time when Mac were run with user created programs. Roger Meier's Freeware site has such own created programs. Download the "CoolTerm" program. Extract it. Double click on the CoolTerm application to launch. Click on Connection, then go to Options and then in Serial Port Options … [Read more...]
Arduino MIDI Input & Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard
We can use Arduino for processing MIDI input and use Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard freeware on PC for testing purpose. MIDI controller is hardware or software which generates and transmits Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) data to electronic or digital MIDI-enabled device. We can directly connect the MIDI jack with Arduino with minimally complex wiring or use IC. We can program, create … [Read more...]
