Operational view from USB port using Putty. This isn't necessary for operation, but will be handy for setting up the box (once written)! Link to Youtube VideoWhat interface is that? Is that something you wrote independent of the main project? It's called Putty. Chuck's code has everything in it to display what you see in his video. You can get it here: www.putty.org/

I know about Putty... use it all the time and love it... what I am wondering is how he's generating the configuration dialog with the Arduino.... I didn't realize you could do such a thing! I am very new to Arduino.

Found it... that's brilliant! I would not have thought of using the debug port with ANSI controls like that, despite having written many interfaces in the past that do the same thing. Sigh... I hope my project is half as cool. Have been writing out from scratch, having not looked at Chucks code.. except for now to see how he did the GUI... so I think I will have to steal that and credit Chuck with the idea!

I am very new to Arduino. When you compile and load the program into the Arduino and start Putty all you need to do is choose Serial and set the right Com port and baud rate. For me it's COM3 and the baud rate is 38,400.

Hmm, now I am thinking of adding a small web server to the Arduino.... I could then point a browser at it and configure it!

Thanks gee, I will do that. The Arduino I bought has 4 serial ports, which is important because I have two serial devices to control. I was going to use a library to use the one port, but now I am glad I didn't since I would have needed to split it 3 ways which is not as easy. With an Arduino Mega, I have 4 ports so I can simply dedicate one to control/monitoring.

I updated the video in the post above to reflect the final changes to the setup interface. Settings are stored in EEPROM. In the video I show the editing of the delay parameters and the operation with an input trigger. Note again that once setup this interface is not needed. It runs all on its own. Drilling holes in a plastic project enclosure and I will be moving/completing the project there. Is there EEPROM on the Arduino for user space? Or did you have to supply external EEPROM?

Nothing had to be added to the Arduino Uno to work with Chuck's code.

Sweet! Love this! Hope you don't mind I have stolen part of your idea! Of course NOT! Look forward to seeing your stuff..... Still working on it. Sigh... reading this thread from beginning to end again because it's too cool. You said plan plan plan.... and that's what I have been doing. I have the case, but need to figure out how to mount the Arduino in the thing... there's some pre-drilled holes but not where I need them. I need to go to our electronics store tomorrow and pick up some standoffs I think. I also need to pick up some wiring.... the wires I got are fiddly at best. I like that little perforated board you have.... I need one like that. Pretty cool. It's 8 pushbuttons, each with 2 LEDs now... 4 trigger in, and 6 out! And two serial. Some of the code is written. Have you given some thought to putting your code on GitHub?

Have you given some thought to putting your code on GitHub? I used nylon m3 standoffs and screws. I hot glued the standoffs to the chassis.

Good idea!
But, I came up with an alternate solution tonight... the box has some mounting holes already drilled in it... so I will cut a dollar store cutting board in half, screw that to the inside of the box using the existing screw holes, and voila! I have something that's easy to drill! No holes in the bottom of the box either.

Please I'm not risking with more than $ 15,000 material is why I ask if someone can make me this Machine because I can not do it myself

It's not that hard... where do you live? There's probably a DIY group in your city with a kid who will do it for a small profit. If I knew your location I may be able to find such a group for you.

Really, thank you so much for this service if you find me someone can do me this device For me, I live in Europe, France and Belgium My problem is that I can buy all these devices, but the complication comes when mounting electronic components and programming interface and interface if not ready to issue for me, I can change the time myself, but if interface display in the subject is not ready my problem

I would need a city to find a group that can help you. There's a dozen groups in my city (Ottawa, Canada) alone that could do this, so I would imagine there would be thousands in all of France and Belgium. Please give me a specific city/town/village name and I can start from there.

There is a huge Arduino and Raspberry Pi meetup group in Paris! Paris-Arduino is the link. Someone there should be able to help you out.
