| Slide 1: | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Arduino Programming with Scilab and Xcos. |
| Slide 2:
Learning Objectives |
In this tutorial, we will learn about
|
| Slide 3:
System requirements |
To record this tutorial, I’m using
|
| Slide 4:
Prerequisites |
To follow this tutorial, you should go through the below Arduino spoken tutorial.
|
| Slide 5:
Getting ready for Arduino Floss |
In the above tutorial, you will learn
|
| Slide 6:
About Scilab and Xcos |
If you are not familiar with Scilab, go through the Scilab spoken tutorials on this website.
You will learn about:
|
| Point to the book in the desktop
and open the book |
I have downloaded Microcontroller Programming with Arduino, Scilab and Xcos ebook. |
| Show the relevant pages in the book. |
|
| Arduino shield_USB.jpg | Connect the Arduino uno board with Arduino shield to the USB port of the computer |
| Slide:
Points to be noted: |
Note the below points:
1. Launch Arduino IDE 2. Check the port 3. Upload the FLOSS firmware That is, in the Arduino IDE, upload the file available at Origin/tools/floss-firmware/floss-firmware.ino As discussed in the earlier tutorial the above steps have to be done before proceeding further. |
| Slide 7:
About -Scilab - ArduinoToolbox |
By default, Scilab does not have the capability to communicate with Arduino.
|
| Show the directory in the book | The Scilab Arduino toolbox can be found inside the Origin/tools/scilab/windows or Origin/tools/scilab/linux
directory. |
| First we have to load the toolbox depending upon your OS.
I’ll show you how to load the toolbox in Linux. | |
| Open the terminal
Go to the folder where Scilab is installed |
Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys.
I have already installed Arduino IDE and Scilab 5.5.2 in my Linux system as specified in the book. Go to the folder where Scilab is installed as shown and launch Scilab. |
| Next we have to change the working directory.
In the File Browser, select the toolbox folder available at Desktop/Origin/tools/scilab/linux Click on the OK button. Now the Scilab working directory becomes the toolbox folder. | |
| In the file browser panel, we can see the builder.sce file gets loaded.
This shows that we are in the right directory. | |
| > exec builder.sce | Type the command exec builder.sce on the Scilab console.
Next, type the command exec loader.sce. This will load the toolbox. Note: If you clear the workspace for any reason, you will have to execute this command once again. |
| We have to run the Scilab script to check whether the firmware is properly installed or not.
It is available at: Origin/tools/scilab/test_firmware.sce | |
|
Select Origin/tools/scilab/ test_firmware.sce. |
In the Scilab console, type editor and press the Enter key.
Click on the “File” menu and choose “Open”. Browse to the directory Origin/tools/scilab. Choose the file test_firmware.sce. It will open a Scilab code. |
| Click on the Execute
Select File with no echo. |
In the menu bar, click on the Execute option, to execute the code.
Then choose File with no echo. We see the response of this code as "ans = ok". This confirms the working of the Arduino-Scilab toolbox. |
| Show chapters 5 program push-button-status.sce | Next let us run the Scilab program in chapter 5. That is, Interfacing a Pushbutton.
This program will read the status of the pushbutton and display it on the GUI. |
| Open the file Origin/user-code/push/scilab/push-button-status.sce | Open the file available at Origin/user-code/push/scilab/push-button-status.sce |
| Click on Execute | Click on the Execute button.
Press the pushbutton in the shield. The GUI in Scilab shows the status of the pushbutton as 1 when it is pressed. It shows 0 when it is released. |
| narration only | Likewise practice the experiments in Scilab with other components as specified in the book. |
| Next we will see how to run the Arduino program in Xcos. | |
| Type Xcos in the editor to launch Xcos. | |
| Next we will run the code to turn the LED on or off, depending on the pushbutton.
The code is available in the Origin/user-code/push/scilab/led-push-button.zcos Click on the File menu and Open the file led-push-button.zcos as shown. When the user presses the pushbutton, the LED on digital pin 9 of the shield is switched on. When the pushbutton is released, the LED is switched off. | |
| Do the otherXcos experiments as specified in the book. | |
