A blog for notes and updates to the book “Making Things Talk”
{ Category Archives }
For people who’ve had trouble getting TextFinder to work with Arduino 1.0-rc1, Michael Margolis has released a new version of the library that should compile for both the older Arduino 0022 and the newer Arduino 1.0-rc1. You can find it on the Arduino playground.
The following examples are affected by this:
Chapter 4
Chapter 6
Chapter 9
Chapter 10
The code in my gitHub repository for these examples is up to date for Arduino 1.0-rc1.
If you’re trying to use any of the Ethernet examples or the Wifi example straight from the 2nd edition of Making Things Talk, you’re probably getting some errors related to the definition of Client and Server. Here’s how to fix them.
/* Color Recognition Using a Webcam Language: Processing Reads an image from a camera and looks for a blob of a particular color. Click on a color in the image to choose the color to track. */
/* QRcode 2D Barcode Reader Language: Processing Uses the qrcode library from www.shiffman.net/p5/pqrcode based on a Java library from qrcode.sourceforge.jp. To use this, generate images from a QRcode generator such as qrcode.kaywa.com and put them in this sketch's data folder. Press spacebar to read from the camera, generate an image, and scan for barcodes. Press f to read from a file and scan. Press s for camera settings. by Tom Igoe / Daniel Shiffman */
/* Parallax RFID Reader Language: Processing Reads data serially from a Parallax RFID reader. */
/* ID Innovations RFID Reader Language: Processing Reads data serially from an ID Innovations ID12 RFID reader. */
/* ASPX RW-210 RFID Reader Language: Processing Reads data serially from an ASPX RW-210 RFID RFID reader. */
/* Microcontroller RFID Reader Language: Wiring/Arduino Reads data serially from a Parallax or ID Innovations ID12 RFID reader. */
/* X10 test Language: Arduino Sends out basic X10 messages from an Arduino module using a PL513 ot TW523 X10 module. */
/* RFID–to-X10 translator Language: Arduino Reads RFID tags and sends X10 messages in response to the tags. */
