Hey Balam, have you tried connecting another pot to another analog pin? You’ll probably find that it will not actually output the same data anymore, unless your circuit is hooked up wrong. Does this issue actually affect you?

I have been able to make this works thank to your tutorial,
I am using the v09 with analog inputs
how ever I have a extrange problem
if I turn few Analogs ins channels I get the same value that the only analog that has a sensor.
example analog 1 has a pot.
data moves the sliders on analogin 1 when I click on On on analog 2-3-4-5-6
and if I move the Pot on analog 1 all the analog read the same data.

any ideas how this can be fix.

thank you..

Great tutorial

Hi Roger, thanks so much for the comment and apologies for the delay in response but I have been overseas with little computer access. I haven’t heard of freetronics, but I can only assume that it will work if it is compatible. If your student has issues, just let me know.

This looks like a great tute!!!.

I have a student who is just starting out with arduino and got a broad form ‘freetronics’ that says it is 100% compatible with arduino hardware. have you had any experience with these boards?

thanks in advance, Roger

@dionq I have no idea why, and I can’t test quite yet. When I have some time I will check it out. In the mean time, make sure you’ve updated to the latest firmata and maxuino patch. Please let me know if you come right. If it’s urgent, go to the Arduino forum and see if anyone can help you there. Good luck.

hello : )

when i try to use a digital input on the arduino, on some channels more than one bang lights up in the maxuino patch.

3 > 7 inputs are all o.k. but 8 >13 there are problems.:
input result
8 = 8 + 9 light up.
9 = 8+ 9 +10 light up
10 = 9+10+11 light up
11 = 10+11+12 light up
12 = 11+12 light up
13 = 11+12+13 light up

the analog ins work fine as do the digital outs.

any ideas anyone?

thanks : )

Hi Andrew! Thanks for your reply. I hv given up on Maxuino and now i’m using arduino2max patch and it’s working well after i updated the version 5.0.6 to 5.1.3.
anyway, thank you again.
Good Day!

Hi Amy, sorry for the delay but I’ve been very busy. I haven’t yet tried Maxuino 008 so I’m not sure on that front. Have you tried using Maxuino 007? What Firmata have you got on your Arduino? Have you downloaded Firmata 2.1 from http://at.or.at/hans/pd/objects.html#pduino because there were some problems on Arduino 17 and the Standard Firmata. The flashing message box ‘digital 2 1′, ‘digital 2 0′ is normal, it’s actually going up to 13 but it’s not displaying it. Does your Max window say anything abnormal?

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the tutorial. I followed all steps u’ve provided but when i switched on the toggle on the ‘digital pin output’, my lED is not blinking, which means arduino and max are not communicating.

i was using maxuino 008 and i couldnt c the same visuals u posted up here. i used the maxuino 005 then.

when i switch the toggle on, all the LED digital input in max are blinking but it’s not blinking on my arduino. and in Max, there’s a message box ‘digital 2 1′ and the ‘1′ digit is changing from 1 to 0 and back n forth.

btw, I’m using DFRduino Duemilanove version of arduino.

hope i can get a little help from you here.

Thank you.
