Etch-a-sketch using Flash and Arduino

Well, I had nothing much better to do today, so after sorting out my previous problems with Arduino and Flash, I thought i’d connect 2 potentiometers to the Arduino board, and make….. Yezzer-sketch!

Here’s the on-screen result:
Yezzer - sketch. Using Flash + Arduino

The very simple circuit:

I need to get some better potentiometers, these are pretty rubbish.

Yey for making … stuff! :D

  • That’s fantastic. How much did the parts cost?

  • Hey Paul :) Not much! The most expensive part is the Arduino at about £20. The rest of it is just a few quid from Maplins.

  • Looks great, i am wondering if it is posible to get the actionscript file. I am trying to do the same but i can’t figure out how to use the x and y values to keep the line drawing.
    I am trying to let it draw pixel by pixel using the x and y value from the previous pixel in the lineto code.

    I can imagion that you want to keep the code for yourself so maby a hint is welcome.

    Cheers

  • hiya,
    I’m trying to get flash, a teleo kit, and a potentiometer to talk, and control a flash panorama, so when the potentiometer is actuated, it turns the panorama on screen. The panorama is a movie, 0-100. any suggestions how i tell flash the potentiometer is my controller… i’m really new to this stuff.
