taurus

Description

Astrology-themed visuals using the Arduino TVout library.

Setup

Requirements

• Arduino IDE 1.6.8 (tested on Linux x64)
• Arduino Uno, Arduino Leonardo or Arduino Mega 2560
• TVout 1.0.1 (tested on commit d3003a5)

Hardware

Setup your Arduino board like this:

Additionally, add a LED on pin 13.

Sketch

1. Install the Arduino IDE and TVout library.
2. Add -fpermissive to the compiler.cpp.flags property in hardware/arduino/avr/platform.txt (relative to the Arduino IDE directory).
3. Copy all .h and .cpp files in TVout/TVoutfonts to TVout (relative to the Arduino IDE libraries directory).
4. Compile taurus.ino and upload it using the Arduino IDE.

If you're having issues linking against libreadline.so.6, use:

$ cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
$ sudo ln -s libreadline.so.7.0 libreadline.so.6

If uploading results in avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyACM0": Permission denied, try:

$ sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0
