Hello, Truly better than paging through the pages on the web (especially on dialup). The downloadable.pdf version could be improved by removing the multiple pages that contain only an invitation to login: Login to Arduino:username. Etc In the Arduino - Reference.pdf there are 554 Login. Pages of a total of 912 pages, i.e. 60.8% of the total pages are useless Login. The situation is the same with Arduino - Learning.

Of a total of 711 pages there are 258 Login to Arduino. (36.3%) Similarly, TheGettingStartedGuide. Has 232 pages with 'only' 42 of these being the wretched Login. To verify this do an Acrobat Reader search on 'Login' with the case sensitive option chosen. Unfortunately, only the 'author' of the.pdf conversion can eliminate this redundancy. The repetition is not too bothersome UNLESS the reader wishes to print sections of the.pdf file. Then he/she either has a bunch of paper to recycle or ploughs through the sections noting which pages not to print.

This is not to belittle the effort to gather all this valuable Arduino information into one useful linked file. Just that a final touch would make the effort perfect. I am still grateful for the three.pdf files. Better Arduino programming to all. Posts: 2 Joined: Thu Oct 09, 2008 7:49 pm.

Hello, Thanks for the suggestion but the Getting Started book has little to teach me. Alinco Dj-v5 Modification. I do highly recommend it to those with little or no knowledge and/or experience with electronics and programming. Now, if the reference were published in hardcopy (a 358 page work without the 'Login.' Pages I would seriously consider it. Even 358 pages is a little too much for my overworked LJ-6mp.

I own a copy of Acrobat 5. If the editable Reference and Learning files are compatible I would slog through them and remove 95% of the redundant pages.

Trou Program Bewoording. This would help conserve bandwidth also. Posts: 2 Joined: Thu Oct 09, 2008 7:49 pm.

Used for communication between the Arduino board and a computer or other devices. All Arduino boards have at least one serial port (also known as a UART or USART): Serial.

It communicates on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX) as well as with the computer via USB. Thus, if you use these functions, you cannot also use pins 0 and 1 for digital input or output. You can use the Arduino environment’s built-in serial monitor to communicate with an Arduino board. Click the serial monitor button in the toolbar and select the same baud rate used in the call to begin(). The Arduino Mega has three additional serial ports: Serial1 on pins 19 (RX) and 18 (TX), Serial2 on pins 17 (RX) and 16 (TX), Serial3 on pins 15 (RX) and 14 (TX). To use these pins to communicate with your personal computer, you will need an additional USB-to-serial adaptor, as they are not connected to the Mega’s USB-to-serial adaptor.

To use them to communicate with an external TTL serial device, connect the TX pin to your device’s RX pin, the RX to your device’s TX pin, and the ground of your Mega to your device’s ground.
