Compatability with ColorNode? #8

Closed chetchez closed 12 years ago

chetchez commented 12 years ago

I recently put together a ColorNode from http://www.digitalmisery.com/projects/colornode and I'm having some trouble getting the G35Arduino code to run on it. I was able to compile and run the ColorNode_Node.pde file from the ColorNode page with Arduino 0023. However, I'm unable to get the G35Arduino examples to run on the ColorNode hardware. I see that the code requires Arduino 1.0 and other than the changing the data pin from 13 to 19, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can upload the BasicExample.ino file successfully but the lights stay off. I'm using the latest jeelib library. Any pointers would be great.

I don't have a ColorNode, but you should take a look at the schematic and see which pin is connected to the lights: http://www.digitalmisery.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ColorNodeV1-Schematic.png. Looks to me like pin 28, or PC5. Then you should figure out what PC5 is mapped to in the Arduino IDE's concept of your device. If you look here http://arduino.cc/hu/Hacking/PinMapping, it appears to be A5.

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure A5 makes sense, so maybe the schematic isn't correct. In any case, I'll play around with it this evening and see if I can't work things out.
