Arduino Flash communication AS2

Posted 1 year ago (15 December 2008) in Arduino, Flash

Tutorial that explains how to setup communication between Arduino and Flash with provided example files.

Update : See Arduino Flash communication AS3 – As3Glue bundle for an Actionscript 3 tutorial.

You can read sensors connected to the Arduino in Flash and send output information to actuators connected to the Arduino. Communication between Flash and Arduino is setup with the Serialproxy program that converts serial strings in to XML socket data.

The zip package can be download from : arduino.cc/playground/uploads/Interfacing/flash_arduino_io_2.zip

UPDATE : Serialproxy doesn’t work anymore under Snow Leopard ( osx 10.6 ) without installing Rosetta. However you can also use Tinkerproxy2. That works in the same way as Serialproxy. Just rename your serproxy.cfg to tinkerproxy2.cfg or you can rename the program tinkerproxy2 to serproxy. tinkerproxy-2_0.zip

See the Playground in Arduino for more Flash implementations : arduino.cc/playground/Interfacing/Flash/

    hello..
    been using your arduino to flash communication and everything was working fine until now..
    a couple of seconds after running the .swf file, the serproxy gives this message:

    Server thread launched
    server(1) – thread started
    server(1) – EOF from sio
    server(1) exiting

    and it keeps exeting…

    is there a solution?
    if there is, email me at p_e_u@hotmail.com

    cheers!
    great script by the way.

    Hi again!

    Have another question for you.. Everything is working great with my Arduino Diecimila board in the Arduino 12 enviorment!

    But I wanted the interface in to a different number of computers so I bought another arduino, this time a Duemilanove..
    I have no problem uploading any other sketch. The flash_arduino sketch is the only one that seems to impossible.

    When the Upload button is pushed in Arduino 15 the following error messages appears:

    ————————- errors ————————-

    /Users/pedrogoncalves/Desktop/Arduino2Flash/flash_arduino 2/arduino_flash/applet/core.a(wiring_serial.c.o): In function `__vector_18′:

    avrdude: write to file ‘/Users/pedrogoncalves/Desktop/Arduino2Flash/flash_arduino 2/arduino_flash/applet/arduino_flash.hex’ failed

    ————————————————————

    Any way of resolving this…? maybe its incompatible with the arduino 15?

    Or with the Duemilanove Board??

    thanks again for your quick response
    and if you have some kind of answer please email me at p_e_u@hotmail.com

    Cheers!

    See the comments in the vimeo clip regarding arduino 15.

    I’m having the same problem that Liz Arum comment on vimeo. With the duemilanove 328 Arduino is receiving data but Flash is not. Or at least, not more than once: at the beggining of the Flash execution it gets all the values but then they stay the same from that point on.
