Accelerate : Flash / Arduino Based Speed Detector
Well, as you may have noticed from my blog posts the past week or two, I have been playing around with Flash and Arduino. I have a ton of ideas and projects in mind, but wanted to start on something that wouldn’t be too overwhelming, and would give me a good opportunity to learn the basics. Well, I have finished my first project, and wanted to share it with everyone. It is a Flash / Arduino based speed detector with clients for Mac, Windows and Android based devices (via Adobe AIR 2.5 beta).
I have put together a quick video that shows the app in action:

This is a ongoing post where I will post tips, tricks and gotchas that I learn while developing with Flash and the Arduino. I will update this from time to time with more information. Read the rest of this entry »
Getting Started with Flash and Arduino
In this post, I will show how to setup your development environment and started developing Flash projects that integrate with the Arduino electronic platform.
So, what is Arduino? From the website:

Quick Contest : Flash and Arduino
I have been working with integrating Flash and Arduino on a project lately, and really having a blast. It was pretty easy to get started, yet there is a ton of extensibility and flexibility.
Well, I dont want to be the only one having this much fun, so I figured I would put together a quick contest. So, if you are interested in playing around with Flash and Arduino, then tell me why in the comment below. Let me know about what project you have in mind. Bonus points for creativity and visual aids.
The winner will receive the following:

Sending Multibyte Numbers from ActionScript to Arduino
If you follow me on twitter, then you have probably noticed that I have been learning about Flash, physical computing and electronics lately. I started out working with Phidgets, and have recently begun working with the Arduino (Ill write up Flash / Arduino getting started tutorial shortly). I am currently working on a project where I need to send data from Flash to the Arduino, and quickly discovered that it is not as easy as I thought it would be. In this post, I will show an example of how to send multibyte Numbers from ActionScript to Arduino.
