Hi   I have search the forum for info on this but cant find the exact 
info i need.

Want to run a USB Arduino board  from MAX.  Using a Mac powerbook.   
How do i get MAx to recognize the board?

arduino-to-max

I'm working on a similar thing. You can either run a midi output from 

a breadboard connected to arduino into max via a midiman, or you can 

run arduino straight to max using by following the directions on the 

second link below. I've done both, but am digging the latter most.

there was something on the arduino forum.

I guess it's using processing or the arduino software to connect to 

Haven't worked it out myself, but if I get to it I'll certainly let

Great stuff - just the fix Im after. Downloading now so hope to play 

tonight. Thanks for the help. What are you working on?

there's a patch i have lying around, it's an adaption of the pdpatch, works pretty well over serial.

you'll need some drivers and stuff too, so let me know if you want the whole lot.

you need usb keyspan and some other drivers, chek out the arduino site because it's system specific.

there's also an adruino flash file that you need to burn to it, so that it can get the necessary inouts. 

can't seem to find it, it's the same as pd's.

subpatch -gets things going, save as maxduino

The file contains both an arduino code and a patch for Max using the serial 

Place the SMS folder in ...arduino-0005libtargetslibraries

And place the MaxMsp Example folder in your Max Library.

you can just upload your code to the board and use the serial object in 

Max. there is something about it on the arduino forums I think.

Here's the mods I've done to the patch. I saved it as "arduino" and use it as an abstraction.

I've tried to use the addapted patch Meriol chared and succesfully read in ARDUINO data. But I can't seem to work out how to get data into the arduinoboard.

I'm trying to switch a led on and off for testing purposes which I'm going to replace by resistors adressing electromagnets.

Is there something I must add the digital outs have all outlets but whereto should they lead?

I've had the same issue, Does anyone know if there is a way to write to the arduino from max?

the exact same way your serial output does.

just send bytes into a connected serial object. make sure:

1) you're not currently running the serial monitor on the arduino dev 

environment, or any other serial app. the serial bus can be 

2) you're sending just bytes, 0-255, one at a time.

I have no problems switching the digital outs on the Arduino. If you want to do some testing, try with digital out 13, there's already a LED onboard. If you want to use a LED elsewhere, you'll need to hook up a resistance. Check Arduino website for more info on how-to connect devices.
