ofxArduinoDjShield – Use Dj Shield with Openframeworks (C++)

Hi,

I just publish a way to use easily the DJ Shield with Openframeworks.

As an addon to use with it. You can find the code here :

https://github.com/fluaten/ofxArduinoDjShield

## USAGE:

– Get an Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Mega or Leonardo http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardUno

– Upload StandardFirmata on the arduino :

Open Arduino app (preferably Arduino 1.0) and
navigate to File -> Examples -> Firmata and open StandardFirmata.
Compile and upload StandardFirmata for your board, then close
the Arduino application and run this application.

– Get a DJ Shield for Arduino : https://nootropicdesign.com/djshield/

– Add to your code :

in __ofApp.h__ add :

#include “ofxArduinoDjShield.h”

and after “public:” :

ofxArduinoDjShield DjShield;

===
in __ofApp.c__ add :

– in setup() { }

DjShield.setup(“/dev/tty.usbmodem1411”);

/*
Replace the string below with the serial port for your Arduino board
you can get this from the Arduino application or via command line

For OSX, in your terminal type “ls /dev/tty.*” to get a list of serial devices
*/

---

– in update() {}

DjShield.udpate();

then use :

bool DjShield.bSetupArduino // if arduino ready

// Potentiometers A0-A2
float DjShield.PotA0(); // native, from 0 to 1
float DjShield.PotA1(TRUE, 0,255); // rescale from 0 to 255
float DjShield.PotA2(TRUE, 0, 10); // rescale from 0 to 10

// Buttons D2-D6
bool DjShield.ButtonD2();
bool DjShield.ButtonD3();
bool DjShield.ButtonD4();
bool DjShield.ButtonD5();
bool DjShield.ButtonD6();

// LED A4-A5
DjShield.LedA4(true);
DjShield.LedA4(false);
DjShield.LedA5(true);
DjShield.LedA5(false);
