Turtle Art with Arduino

There are several efforts to develop Turtle Art support for Arduino.

examples

 
Blink led in Arduino pin 13

descriptions

Based on the existing version on TurtleArt with Arduino: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Arduino#Turtle_Art

and the base work for refactoring adapting the Arduino version to the latest Turtleart structure: http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/turtleart/repos/refact-for-arduino

This version is based on the mainline version of TurtleArt 0.86

The Arduino functionality was corrected from previous versions:

  • Analog and digital reading now works correctly
  • Auto detection of ttyUSBx port for FTDI device (Arduino board uses this for USB)

It requires the Firmata protocol to be uploaded to the Arduino board. Use the latest Firmata version (2.1 as of now) downloaded from the Firmata page (firmata.org) The Firmata version included with the Arduino IDE has some inconsistencies.

This version has english and spanish translations. Other localizations may require some code adjustments due to inconsistencies in the file naming scheme.

Getting it working

For hints on getting it working on different Sugar versions see http://tonyforster.blogspot.com/2010/10/arduino-fork-of-turtle-art.html

TurtleArt (sugar) + icaro = Tortucaro
