pcDuino: where open software meets open hardware

pcDuino = mini PC + Arduino pcDuino is a kind of super Arduino with the brain

power of a mini PC. Existing Arduino shield can work on pcDuino. pcDuino can run Ubuntu. The desktop outputs

from HDMI. User can remotely access its desktop via VNC (Network or OTG-USB).

pcDuino has built-in Arduino style IDE environment. It also supports programming in Python, Cloud 9 IDE, Java, Go-lang, Scratch, etc.

pcDuino can run full Android ICS, and support Arduino style hardware programming under Android.

pcDuino is a server, a WiFi router, a printer server, a IP-PBX, and more.

pcDuino is a platform where open software meets open hardware.

from NAND. For Ubuntu OS, the system and data in NAND can be

copied to SD seamlessly.

C Command lineTo view the contents of a sample sketch, (this example we’ll look at the contents of linker_led_test.c) type: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/c_enviroment/sample$ cat

linker_led_test.c/** LED test program*/#include <core.h>int led_pin = 1; void setup(){if(argc != 2){goto _help;}led_pin = atoi(argv[1]);if((led_pin < 0) || (led_pin > 13)){goto _help;}pinMode(led_pin, OUTPUT);return; _help:printf("Usage %s LED_PIN_NUM(0-13)n", argv[0]);exit(-1);}

void loop(){digitalWrite(led_pin, HIGH); // set the LED ondelay(1000); // wait for a seconddigitalWrite(led_pin, LOW); // set the LED offdelay(1000); // wait for a second} 

Creating Your Own Sketchubuntu@ubuntu:~/c_enviroment/sample$ nano button_led.c An empty nano screen should appear.Copy and paste the following code into it. (Remember to paste in nano at the cursor,

just right click the mouse button). #include <core.h> // Required first line to run on pcDuinoint ledPin = 8;int buttonPin = 7;// variables will change:int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status void setup() {// initialize the LED pin as an output:pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);} 

Creating Your Own Sketchvoid loop(){// read the state of the pushbutton value:buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); // check if the pushbutton is pressed.// if it is, the buttonState is HIGH:if (buttonState == HIGH) {// turn LED on:digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);}else {// turn LED off:digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);}}

Creating Your Own SketchModify the Makefile and Compileubuntu@ubuntu:~/c_enviroment/sample$ nano Makefile You will see a section that lists all the OBJS something like: OBJS = io_test adc_test pwm_test spi_test adxl345_test serial_test liquidcrystal_i2c liquidcrystal_spi

Creating Your Own SketchWe’re going to add a line to the end of this with the name of the scketch we just created: OBJS += button_led Save the file and exit nano using <CTRL>X with a y and <enter>. We now run make by typing: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/c_enviroment/sample$ make You should see a whole bunch of text with the end being: button_led.c -o ../output/test/button_led ../libarduino.a If all went well, you can go to the output/test folder and find your executable you have created: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/c_enviroment/sample$ cd ../output/test/ubuntu@ubuntu:~/c_enviroment/output/test$ lltotal 676drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Apr 27 07:51 ./drwxrwxr-x 3 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Apr 27 06:49 ../-rwxrwxr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu 13868 Apr 27 07:51 adc_test*-rwxrwxr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu 28284 Apr 27 07:51 adxl345_test*-rwxrwxr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu 13668 Apr 27 07:51 button_led*…..(not showing rest of listing here)  

Creating Your Own SketchRun Your Sketch To run it, once you have wired up a switch and led to the right pins, type: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/c_enviroment/output/test$ ./button_led To stop the program, <Ctrl>C A Quick Re-Cap 

Add #include <core.h> to the top of your sketch.Create your sketch in the samples folder (if your familiar with linux,

makefiles, and compiling code, you could set up your own)Add the filename to the Makefile in the samples folder in the OBJS section

without the .cRun makeRun the executable from the output/test folder.You can introduce command line arguments into your sketch to make it

more transportable.

Home Automation： IP controllable LED

Many users are asking if the hardware part can be programmed together with the Ubuntu linux?

Sure. This is the beauty of pcDuino. The Arduino compatible hardware is a native part of the OS.

pcDuino includes Ethernet port, USB Wifi dongle, so there is no need for Ethernet shield, Ethernet shield , USB host shield, MP3 shields and so on.

Now, we are going to implement a TCP/IP socket server on pcDuino to listen to the data coming from client.

When it receives character ’O', it will turn on the LED, and when it receives ‘F”, it will turn on the LED. No actions if receive something else.

Home Automation： IP controllable LED

#include “sys/socket.h”#include “netinet/in.h”#include “arpa/inet.h”#include “sys/types.h” int led_pin = 2; int listenfd = 0, connfd = 0;int n;struct sockaddr_in serv_addr;  char sendBuff[1025];time_t ticks;  

 void loop(){ n = read(connfd, sendBuff, strlen(sendBuff) );  if(n>0){if(sendBuff[0]=='O') digitalWrite(led_pin, HIGH); // set the LED onif(sendBuff[0]=='F') digitalWrite(led_pin,LOW); // set the LED off}}

void setup(){ led_pin = 2; pinMode(led_pin, OUTPUT); listenfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);memset(serv_addr, '0', sizeof(serv_addr));memset(sendBuff, '0', sizeof(sendBuff));  serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);serv_addr.sin_port = htons(5000);  bind(listenfd, (struct sockaddr*) serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr));  listen(listenfd, 10);  connfd = accept(listenfd, (struct sockaddr*)NULL, NULL);  }
