TESTING ARDUINO + RGB BULBS

Post 29

OH GOLLY IT WORKS! I SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTED ARDUINO TO UNITY. LIKE YEAYS.

And my RGB works!
Turns out I couldn't use any other FTDI other than the special FTDI FOR Lilypad.

This is me testing out the accelerometer in Arduino.

Here's a video of me waving it around with unity at the background.

I had an error about an extra unused class but it was just a minor problem. They didn't want me to waste the declaration.

I'm overjoyed. One step closer!

ALL THANKS TO THESE TUTORIALS:

I'm going to add a Happiness level graph later on. I thought I wanted it to be Stress Level, but..it's a little bit discouraging for my tastes.

Happines level : 10

Misery & Linking Arduino to Unity

Post 28

I tried and tried again with my boards but it just couldn't connect.

I keep getting the same errors I got in my Aug 27 post.

Turns out I had to buy a SPECIAL FTDI Breakout board and the one I got from China is not compatible.

So, I have to get a new one. From Singapore.



I'm going to have to use my Adafruit flora to test this out while waiting for my usb chip, the tutorial to link unity and Arduino looks pretty simple.

My adafruit Flora works swimmingly and I got the response I needed. Step 1 complete.

I keep getting errors for the UNITY. Will look more into this soon. I can't seem to find the problem, I followed the tutorial word by word.

I'm going to start on editing the music tomorrow.

These are a few examples and tutorials I watched today. I needed a proper milestone so I did this today and it's level of difficulty seems pretty okay.
