Creation

Create an arduino object with the following line:

arduino = new Arduino("127.0.0.1", 5331);

"127.0.0.1" is the IP address where serialproxy is running - in this case, localhost. 5331 is the port number that the serialproxy TCP socket server uses as defined in serproxy.cfg.

Digital I/O

To set a pin to input or output, use

arduino.setPinMode(pin, Arduino.INPUT); arduino.setPinMode(pin, Arduino.OUTPUT);

where pin is a Number variable with value between 2 and 13.

To set an output pin high or low, use

arduino.writeDigitalPin(pin, Arduino.HIGH); arduino.writeDigitalPin(pin, Arduino.LOW);

To enable or disable pin reporting for all digital input pins(you'll have to enable if you have input pins and want to read inputs), use

arduino.enableDigitalPinReporting(); arduino.disableDigitalPinReporting();

To read a value from a digital input pin use

arduino.getDigitalData(pin);

Analog I/O

To set a pin between 9 and 11 to PWM output, use

arduino.setPinMode(pin, Arduino.PWM);

To write a PWM value to a pin previously initialized for PWM output, use

arduino.writeAnalogPin(pin, value);

where value is a Number variable between 0 and 255.

To enable or disable pin reporting for individual analog input pins, use:

arduino.setAnalogPinReporting(aPin, Arduino.ON); arduino.setAnalogPinReporting(aPin, Arduino.OFF);

where aPin is a Number variable with value between 0 and 6.

To read an analog value from an analog input pin use

arduino.getAnalogData(aPin);

Event listener functions

Instead of reading values through getAnalogData() and getDigitalData(), as3glue can also use event listener functions you supply whenever a digital or analog pin changes. You have to do two things: write a callback function and register that function with the object. Here are examples:

To add an event listener that is called whenever a digital input changes, fist declare the callback function:

public function onReceiveDigitalData(e:ArduinoEvent):void {
trace("Digital pin " + e.pin + " on port: " + e.port +" = " + e.value);
}

Then register it with the arduino object:

arduino.addEventListener(ArduinoEvent.DIGITAL_DATA, onReceiveDigitalData);

To add an event listener that is called whenever an analog input changes, fist declare the callback function:

public function onReceiveAnalogData(e:ArduinoEvent):void {
trace("Analog pin " + e.pin + " on port: " + e.port +" = " + e.value);
}

Then register it with the arduino object:

arduino.addEventListener(ArduinoEvent.ANALOG_DATA, onReceiveAnalogData);
