The Atmel® Software Framework (ASF) is a MCU software library providing a large collection of embedded software for Atmel flash MCUs: megaAVR, AVR XMEGA, AVR UC3 and SAM devices, include the SAM3X used on Arduino Due . It simplifies the usage of microcontrollers, providing an abstraction to the hardware and high-value middlewares ASF is designed to be used for evaluation, prototyping, design and production phases ASF is integrated in the Atmel Studio IDE with a graphical user interface or available as standalone for GCC, IAR compilers ASF can be downloaded for free Link: Atmel Software Framework ASF documentation Get Started

The Arduino Due Board has 12 analog inputs (pins from A0 to A11), each of which can provide 12 bits of resolution (i.e. 4096 different values). By default, the resolution of the readings is set at 10 bits, for compatibility with other Arduino boards. It is possible to change the resolution of the ADC with analogReadResolution(). The Due’s analog inputs pins measure from ground to a maximum value of 3.3V. Applying more then 3.3V on the Due’s pins will damage the SAM3X chip. The analogReference() function is ignored on the Due. Analog input pins on Arduino Due Board Example to read from Analog Input: int analogInputA0 = A0; int varA0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); analogReadResolution(12); //set ADC resolution to 12 bits } void loop() { varA0 = analogRead(analogInputA0); //read ADC input Serial.println(varA0, HEX); //print as HEX delay(1000); } Read Analog Input on Arduino Due If the code compiled with error: 'analogReadResolution' was not declared in t

Firmata is a generic protocol for communicating with microcontrollers from software on a host computer. It is intended to work with any host computer software package. Right now there is a matching object in a number of languages. It is easy to add objects for other software to use this protocol. Basically, this firmware establishes a protocol for talking to the Arduino from the host software. The aim is to allow people to completely control the Arduino from software on the host computer. Firmata Remark: Currently Firmata library not included in Arduino IDE 1.5.1 yet ... Link: firmata.org Arduino Playground for Firmate

This example demonstrate how to control Arduino LED using Python with GUI, using tkinter library. #tkinter for Python 3.x #Tkinter for Python 2.x import serial import time import tkinter def quit(): global tkTop tkTop.destroy() def setCheckButtonText(): if varCheckButton.get(): varLabel.set("LED ON") ser.write(bytes('H', 'UTF-8')) else: varLabel.set("LED OFF") ser.write(bytes('L', 'UTF-8')) ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM1', 9600) print("Reset Arduino") time.sleep(3) ser.write(bytes('L', 'UTF-8')) tkTop = tkinter.Tk() tkTop.geometry('300x200') varLabel = tkinter.StringVar() tkLabel = tkinter.Label(textvariable=varLabel) tkLabel.pack() varCheckButton = tkinter.IntVar() tkCheckButton = tkinter.Checkbutton( tkTop, text="Control Arduino LED", variable=varCheckButton, command=setCheckButtonText) tkCheckButton.pack(anchor=tki

The previous post demonstrate " Talk with Arduino Due in Python Shell ". It will be implement programmatically in module. note: After open the port, the Arduino will reset. So I insert delay for 3 seconds after serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM1', 9600). In my board, 115200 seem not too stable. I modify the baud rate to 9600. Python code: import serial import time # assign your port and speed ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM1', 9600) print("Reset Arduino") time.sleep(3) ser.write(bytes('L', 'UTF-8')) print('Enter 1 to Turn Arduino LED ON') print('Enter 0 to Turn Arduino LED OFF') print('Enter Q/q to quit:') char_in = '' print(char_in) while char_in not in ['Q', 'q']: char_in = input() if char_in == '0': print("LED OFF") ser.write(bytes('L', 'UTF-8')) if char_in == '1': print("LED ON") ser.write(bytes

If you try the steps in the post " Talk with Arduino Due in Python Shell " in Linux (Ubuntu in my setup). May be you will be complained with the error of: serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port /dev/ttyACM0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyACM0' Because your user account have no right to access the /dev/ttyACM0 port. You have to add your user account to the dialout group. Enter the command in Terminal: $ sudo usermod -a -G dialout <username> After you plug in the usb cable, run the command (it need to be run every time plug-in): $ sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0 serial.serialutil.SerialException
