Octint serial commands

This is the list of the principal serial commands of the octint firmware. See similar monome protocol.

OCTINT PROTOCOL

Arduino Firmware

We use a small modification of the original Octint firmware of Unsped. The router use port 8000 to send data and port 8050 to receive data.

Octint_v1.0

This is the more stable version with crash preventing methods.

Good comments. Thanks to Jonathan M. Guberman.

Octint_v2.0

Flashing the arduino

The following was written by Melka on the Arduino forums but freely modified to use with the last version of code. you have to install Mprog and the D2XX drivers from FTDI.

MProg 3.0 > http://www.ftdichip.com/Resources/Utilities.htm

D2XX Drivers > http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm

1/ Install both, then run Mprog

2/ Launch Mprog, then click on Device / Scan. You should see something like this appearing in the box down.

Number Of Blank Devices = 0 Number Of Programmed Devices = 1

3/ Click on Tools > Read and Parse. This will fill the boxes.

4/ Check the “use fixed serial number” box and change the value below. To have your board recognized as a monome by monome serial, you have to enter something like a40h-xxx (I'm using : a40h-001)

5/ Click on File > save as

6/ Once saved, click on the flash icon ( or Ctrl+P).

7/ Unplug / plug back your board from the usb port.

8/ Run Arduinomeserial, you should see something appear on the devices list.

We use a small modification of the original Octint Processing router of Unsped. The aplications connect to the arduino serial port and convert to OSC (open sound protocol). We recomend that you check and change the serial port in the source code before to use.
