klundi200

I am doing a project using piezo sensors and LEDs going from Arduino to MAX. I have managed to get the piezo sensors working well in MAX, but I have no idea how to deal with the LEDs.

I have a random light generator code for arduino, that I need to control with in MAX - is there a way to do that?

Here is the code I have for Arduino to MAX:

int x=0;                                                                                                                        //    a    place    to    hold    pin    values

Serial.begin(115200);    // 115200 is the default Arduino Bluetooth speed

digitalWrite(13,HIGH);    // startup blink

if (Serial.available()    >0){     // Check serial buffer for characters

if(Serial.read()=='r'){ //    If an 'r' is received then read    the pins

Serial.println();        //Send a carriage return to mark end of    pin data.

delay(5);         //add a    delay to prevent crashing/overloading of the serial port    

void sendValue(int x){     //function to send the pin value followed by a "space".

Here is the code I have for the random light generator:

//Seed random number generator from analog port

//Generate random number between 8 and 10

Hi,
I am doing a project using piezo sensors and LEDs going from Arduino to MAX. I have managed to get the piezo sensors working well in MAX, but I have no idea how to deal with the LEDs.
I have a random light generator code for arduino, that I need to control with in MAX - is there a way to do that?
Here is the code I have for Arduino to MAX: 

int x=0;																														//	a	place	to	hold	pin	values
int ledpin=13;	

Serial.begin(115200);	// 115200 is the default Arduino Bluetooth speed
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);	// startup blink
delay(600);
digitalWrite(13,LOW);
pinMode(13,INPUT);

if (Serial.available()	>0){	   // Check serial buffer for characters
if(Serial.read()=='r'){            //	If an 'r' is received then read	the pins
for(int	pin=0; pin
x=analogRead(pin);
sendValue(x);

for(int	pin=2;	pin
x=digitalRead(pin);
sendValue(x);
}	

Serial.println();		//Send a carriage return to mark end of	pin data.
delay(5);		        //add a	delay to prevent crashing/overloading of the serial port	

}
}
}
void sendValue(int x){	        //function to send the pin value followed by a "space".
Serial.print(x);
Serial.write(32);
}
Here is the code I have for the random light generator:
int ranNum;

void setup() {
  //Seed random number generator from analog port
  randomSeed(analogRead(0));
  //Setup 3 output ports for LED's
  pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  //Generate random number between 8 and 10
  ranNum=random(8,11);
  //generate 1 second delay
delay(1000);
  //Turn on the LED
  digitalWrite(ranNum, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  //Turn off the LED
  digitalWrite(ranNum, LOW);
}

I can probably help if I have a better understanding of what you’re trying to do. What aspect of the ‘random light generator’ do you want to control from within Max?

I want to be able to turn it on and off using MAX. It's part of a Target Practice game I'm doing for a uni project. Best case scenario, I would be able to turn it on and it would stop after 60 seconds. I just don't know how to mesh both of the arduino codes together and then incorporate the random light flasher in MAX.

Thank you. I really appreciate your help.
