SA5

Snap! and Arduino 5ynchronized

Firmata for S4AConnector Snap! extension

• S4AConnector Snap! library allows us to connect "All Firmata Boards" to Snap! Then, you can connect all your UNO, Nano, Mega, Leonardo, Micro, Due, 101, ESP8266, NodeMCU... to your Snap! projects and dynamically control their functionalities. S4AConnector continues the work of Snap4Arduino project.
• With StandardFirmata firmware we have enough to obtain the basic functionalities:
  • Read digital and analog pins.
  • Set ditital states (low or high)
  • Set values (0-255) to PWM pins
  • Manage servos (set angle or state)
• These are the main blocks of this extension

• And also, we can us

SA5Firmata to extend firmata features

SA5 firmawares extends firmata with:

• Tone functions.
• PulseIn function.
• A pulseOut function (send a microseconds pulse)
• Ping function to read distance from Ultrasonic sensors.
• Read Nunchuk sensors (joyX, joyY, butZ, butC, accX, accY and accZ) from I2C connection.
• Read humidity and temperature from a DHT11 sensor.
• Send IR messages by a IR emitter on pin 3. Sony and RC5 protocols availables.
• Read IR message from a IR recevier on pin 11.
• You can Enable/Disable IR receiving, to leave free timer 2 and enable PWM on pins 3 and 11.
• Servo library hacked, to avoid "the detach" disconnecting servos. Then PWM on pins 9 and 10 are again available.
• Neopixels management

And then, with SA5 firmware we have extra blocks to manage our boards.
