There are several efforts to develop Turtle Art support for Arduino.
 +
This implementation uses the same [http://www.firmata.org firmata] protocol that the arduino-squeak connection uses.

 +
 
 +
 
 +
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.

TODO: Link to an XO bundle.

The plugin file can be downloaded from [[File:arduino.tar.gz]].
