Honestly i have new ideas from that post and I think I will do other tests in the next weeks.

In the past I tried some actionscript XML socket class and I remember that i was able to send msg from arduino to Flash and viceversa (but it was AS2).
So i think it’s possible but i would like to build my own class in AS3 to be free to do what i want.

I’m only afraid that I don’t know a lot of technical stuff about arduino communication.
Checking AS3Glue class (very simple) I see in the code some addresses that I don’t understand so i’m not sure to be able to accomplish this task.

I have to say that at the moment, arduino for me is only a nice game and I can’t investigate about these issues spending a lot of hours.
But at the same time I would like to do it… if you have some ideas and you want test or share something with me, i’m 100% available : )

Well. I forgot to say I am already using firmata2 and the glue class in flash
I have tested some samples with buttons, led, or, digital in/outputs and its all ok.
The problem is while trying to send messages.

Let me put a very basic example:
supose this code running in arduino:
———————–
int id = 3; //could be any number
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(){
Serial.print(id);
}
————————
if you go to Arduino serial monitor you will see it printing (3 3 3 3 3 ….)
now, wonder flash reading serial (with serproxy, for example) and tracing it (3 3 3 3…) inside a textBox.

in other words, I just would like to get the printed values in serial in flash and vice-versa.
Supose there is a way flash can print a value to serial too.. and Arduino would get this to turn a led on.
(I know I could send it using digitalWrite in this example, but in my case I must send a ‘int’ or ’string’ from flash, like a message)
for example:
——————————
//in flash
arduino.sendString(3);//here is my int
——————————
//in arduino
if (Serial.read() == 3){
//TURN LED 3 ON
}
——————————
what do you think!?
Thanks one more time!

ciao!

Naturally, you could creare your own AS3 classes using XML Socket but AS3GLUE is ready to work allowing to send analog / digital input from Flash to Arduino and viceversa (I tested it and it works well) and use servos (but i had some problems ). This library seems not final and it’s a bit limited for complex stuff but I should spend more time to test it (i’m sorry but my real job is a Flash/Flex developer and electronic stuff at the moment it’s only a passion and I can work on it only during my free time)

Arduino is set with firmata2.
Do you think I must change the code in arduino so it can send string messages to flash, or there is a way to make it within flash?

thanks in advance
