Hi,

I am totally new to both arduino and pure data, so please be patient

I have pduino installed and can now create the [arduino] object in Pure Data.

Now, what do I do with this in Pure Data?

Basically, I understand the bits and pieces, but am missing an overall guide to help me understand how they all come together. Is there a book or comprehensive online source that can take me step-by-step through using the [arduino] object in pure data?

Examples I have found on the web so far seem very sparse and cryptic.

Let's say I wanted to use an optical sensor via arduino to control a parameter in Pd via pduino?

Do I use the [arduino] object to spit a value into a [number] object and use that as the input value for another object?

Thanks to all in advance for responding

what exacly do you want to do?
you want to read from arduino, or send something?
what you need it for?

Actually, I understand it better now. I studied the arduino-test.pd file and that helped a lot. What I didn't understand before was the process for both reading from an analog input and writing to an output pin on arduino via pduino's [arduino] object. But arduino-test.pd really lays it all out there, so you see exactly what is going on.

Thanks!
