Sharing Data Between Arduino and UDOO

Hi guys,

I am trying to share data between the UDOO server and the Arduino. I currently have an Arduino Feather that I am receiving radio data from. Is there any way I can wire in the Arduino Feather into the UDOO Arduino interface, and then have it send data to the UDOO server? Ideally, I would like to save the Arduino data to an SD Card, and have the UDOO read from that same SD Card. Thanks in advance.

 

You have several options:
1. Don't use the Arduino feather but the Arduino on the Udoo itself and read the data from arduino with serial port. Use a program (Python, C++, Java, Perl) on the Linux side to read the data and store it in a file or database on the SD card.
2. connect the feather with USB to the Udoo and read the feather with a program like in option 1. The Udoo Linux side is not a server but a PC.
3. Connect the feather using a serial connection with the Arduino side of the Udoo and transfer that data to the Linux side. Use the Serial0 (standard on udoo Neo) for the feather connection and Serial to transfer it to the Linux side.

 

Thanks for the quick reply! I think I am more interested in #3. I have an UDOO Neo. Can you point me to some samples/docs online regarding #3?

 

I think I've got it! I'll try to keep this thread updated with my code once I finish this project. Thanks!

And another quick response:
General information about Arduino Serial and Serial0 can be found here: http://www.udoo.org/docs-neo/Arduino_M4_Processor/Communication.html

You can use the Udoo Serial example library for reading the Udoo Arduino on /dev/ttyMCC with C, java PHP and Python.\
The library is written for the Udoo Quad so you have to replace serial device /dev/ttyS0 with /dev/ttyMCC
https://github.com/UDOOboard/serial_libraries_examples

Sample Arduino code for passing data from serial0 to Serial /dev/ttyMCC :

Code:

void setup() {
// initialize both serial ports
// Serial0 is M4 ext pin 0 and 1
// Serial is /dev/ttyMCC A9 to M4 core
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(100);
Serial0.begin(9600);
delay(100);
}
void loop() {
// read from port 0, send to port A9 Serial:
if (Serial0.available()) {
int inByte = Serial0.read();
Serial.write(inByte);
}
// read from port A9 Serial, send to port 0:
if (Serial.available()) {
int inByte = Serial.read();
Serial0.write(inByte);
}
} 

 

Excellent! Thanks!

 

hi @waltervl do you know where is the voltage of Tx an Rx serial port on UDOO ?? i want to connect a device that use 3.3v.
Regards!

 

All IO pins on the Neo are 3.3V so your device should work

 

Thanks!
