    Arduino with PlanetCNC: How to use Arduino to extend TNG functionality

    Hi,

    We published a project about Arduino and PlanetCNC.

    Tutorial describes how to:
    - use Arduino board to communicate with TNG via serial communication
    - Arduino and expression file description to achieve jogging of machine using pushbuttons connected to Arduino board

    If you have any questions, tips or suggestions, let us know:

    Can you guys add descriptions to your python module's functions on the wiki page? I have been playing around with expression scripts and python scripts while connected to arduino and would greatly appreciate further usage/return type function descriptors.

    Python documentation is on TODO list, Expression scripts are documented.
    You can do almost anything with expressions only and a lot of things that you can't are in active development.

    I would appreciate if you could tell, what are you trying to do. I will give us ideas for further development.
    We can only develop new features if we know, what customers want.

    So I appeal this to everybody - tell us how do you want to use Arduino with TNG.

    Python documentation is little better than before. All functions with arguments are listed now. Descriptions and examples are still on TODO list.
