Arduino library path in Linux?

After installing Arduino IDE 1.0.x, use scripts as follows,

cat /usr/bin/arduino | grep APPDIR


It return "APPDIR=/usr/share/arduino"

 $:ls /usr/share/arduino/

arduinopc.jar  examples  hardware  lib  libraries  reference  tools


Then, add user's library on "libraries" folder.

Although the company itself may be a new non-profit, the group was created as a joint effort between Google-owned Nest Labs, Samsung, ARM, Freescale, Silicon Labs, Yale Security and Big Ass Fans. Thread’s goal is the creation of a wireless IP-based networking protocol that promises easy, reliable cloud access for all the hardware and appliances in your home. Interestingly enough, existing Nest thermostats and smoke detectors already reportedly run on an early version of the upcoming protocol.

Imagination launches the world's smallest GPU for Android Wear.

 

Imagination Technologies has introduced a new PowerVR GPU that is targeted specifically at wearables, IoT, and other small embedded applications that require OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics. The silicon for the GPU takes up just 0.55 mm2 (post layout) on a 28nm manufacturing process. According to Imagination that makes it the smallest OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU capable of running Android and Android Wear.

WIZ Ethernet Library for Arduino IDE 1.5.7

WIZ_Ethernet_Lib_IDE1.5.7.git



The Ethernet library lets you connect to the Internet or a local network.

Supported devices




  • ioShield, WIZ550io (used in W5500)

  • W5200 Ethernet Shield, WIZ820io (used in W5200)

  • Ethernet Shield (used in W5100)



Hardware





Software



Install WIZ Ethernet library



Download all files and overwrite onto the"Arduino\libraries\Ethernet" folder in your project in sketch.
- Ethernet folder has two folers, examples and src folers.

Select device(shield)



Uncomment device(shiel) you want to use.

[code lang=cpp]
//ArduinolibrariesEthernetutilityw5100.h
#ifndef W5100_H_INCLUDED
#define W5100_H_INCLUDED

#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
#include

typedef uint8_t SOCKET;
//#define W5100_ETHERNET_SHIELD
//#define W5200_ETHERNET_SHIELD
#define W5500_ETHERNET_SHIELD
[/code]

Using the WIZ Ethernet library and evaluate existing Ethernet example.



All other steps are the same as the steps from the Arduino Ethernet Shield.
You can use examples in ./Ethernet/examples folder for the Arduino IDE 1.5.7, go to Files->Examples->Ethernet, open any example, then copy it to your sketch file and change configuration values properly.
After that, you can check if it is work well. For example, if you choose 'WebServer', you should change IP Address first and compile and download it. Then you can access web server page through your web browser of your PC or something.

Arduino syntax file - Syntax file for Arduino .PDE files : vim online.

This syntax file provides syntax highlighting like the Arduino IDE. That is, Arduino specific names like digitalWrite is highlighted in addition to C++ syntax. 



  1. copy arduino.vim to /plugs and /syntax folder


  2. To force C like syntax highlighting to arduino .ino files, you can add the following lines to your ~/.vimrc file:




syntax on
filetype on


au BufRead,BufNewFile *.pde set filetype=arduin

Python Simple Script for WIZ107SR

Source Github Link

WIZ107SR



WIZ107SR is a gateway module that converts serial protocol (RS-232) into TCP/IP protocol by using W7100A.

Link WIZ107SR materials - WIZ107SR

SW - Download & Install





Script descriptions - TCPClient




  • Init. serial port number and baudrate



[code lang=c]
serial.Serial("COM1", 57600)
[/code]


  • Change to serial commond mode



Change to serial command mode; when serial command switch code is '123'.
Just only input serial command mode switch code of 3bytes without '\r\n'.
Serial command mode switch code is set by using ConfigTool.

[code lang=c]
ser.write(b'123')
[/code]


  • Setting TCPClient mode



[code lang=c]
ser.write(b'LP5000rn') # Source port number : ex.) 5000
ser.write(b'RP3000rn') # TCP server port number : ex.) 3000
ser.write(b'RH192.168.10.100rn') # TCP server IP address : ex.) '192.168.10.100'
ser.write(b'OP0rn') # Set TCP Client mode : OP0 - TCPClinet
ser.write(b'SVrn') # Save Setting
ser.write(b'RTrn') # Reboot
[/code]


  • Send



[code lang=c]
ser.write(b'hellorn')
[/code]


  • recv



[code lang=c]
serial_recv_buf = 10
line = ser.read(serial_recv_buf)
[/code]

FAQ; How know the status of TCP connections ?



We can know the TCP connection by using 8pin.

In the initial time, this pin is INPUT for Hardware Trigger(for
serial command mode). After that, this pin is OUTPUT for
connection status. When the connection is established, this pin
goes Low. And, it will go HIGH when connection is closed.
