| VISUAL CUE | NARRATION |
| 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 the 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” three times. 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 the 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. | |
