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

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!
