Arduino Firmata Qt-Application

deleted28

Hello,

are there any snippets, examples available, how to control
an Arduino from a Qt Application using "Firmata" ?
"firmata":http://www.firmata.org

On microcontroller side is more or less clear, but i don't know
how to design the Qt Application part.
thank you

Hi,

From a quick overlook at the firmata test program, it looks like you need to use QSerialPort for the communication. Then implement their protocol. One thing you could to is port firmata_test to Qt.

Yes, i will, but first i must see any advantage of using firmata instead of a custom (e.g. switch case parser) protocol.
I do not get the philosophy behind firmata yet.

You mentioned above this :

right ?

Yes, that's exactly the one

Nobody know a simple Qt example using firmata to, lets say,
switch the led (p13) on and off from a Qt application ?

The above mentioned examples are too complex to learn.

Serialport implementation not needed, maybe even pseudocode
:)

Do you mean something like "that":http://code.google.com/p/firmatator/ ?
