Lua serial [SOLVED]
Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2016 9:14 pm
i got this code to turn some leds on a arduino.
The problem i have is that when the arduino first turns on it doesn't receive it, at least the data in led doesn't blink on the arduino..
what i do is use a c# program to send a string to the arduino, after i've done that the lua code work perfectly fine.
Anyone here that can give me a reason why? or a potential hot fix?
It's almost like the arduino doesnt know it should receive the data.
arduino code. "still learning, gimme some slack:P"
Code: Select all
local file = "com3";
local serial = assert(io.open(file,"w"))
serial:write("0,25,255,60,1000,false")
serial:flush()
serial.close()
