I am using the Communications Tutorial 2: Serial Communication tutorial patch w/ the sample code provided. None of the third party objects like Arduino2Max work either, thus leading me to believe something is up with the serial object.
Posted the code here:
// Arduino Serial Tester
// rld, cycling'74, 3.2008
long randomvalue = 0; // random value
long countervalue = 0; // counter value
int serialvalue; // value for serial input
int started = 0; // flag for whether we've received serial yet
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); // open the arduino serial port
}
void loop()
{
if(Serial.available()) // check to see if there's serial data in the buffer
{
serialvalue = Serial.read(); // read a byte of serial data
started = 1; // set the started flag to on
}
if(started) { // loop once serial data has been received
randomvalue = random(1000); // pick a new random number
Serial.print(countervalue); // print the counter
Serial.print(" "); // print a space
Serial.print(randomvalue); // print the random value
Serial.print(" "); // print a space
Serial.print(serialvalue); // echo the received serial value
Serial.println(); // print a line-feed
countervalue = (countervalue+1)%1000; // increment the counter
delay(100); // pause
}
}
