Well first step is see if you can load a program into it using the arduino dev stuff. (I assume the rev 3 uses usb as a serial port yes) Well if you can shove a program into it then you're connected! Might look at the blink program as it can use the on board led so no wiring necessary for the first test.
There are a few communications programs you can try also to see if you can send and receive over serial. (using the serial monitor that is part of the arduino software) I can only speak about the windows side of things, but its pretty easy. To do a very simple little bit of nothing serial check you can do something like the following. char command = '\0'; //define var command and init it to null void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); // use whatever rate you want } void loop() { if (Serial.available() > 0) { command = Serial.read(); } switch (command) { case '\0': // do nothing if no command sent break; default: Serial.print('You typed char'); Serial.println(command); command = '\0'; break; } Load it into your arduino, start the serial monitor and start sending chars. Or full strings, if you send a string it will put one char on each line with the message "you typed char whateverchar" To use LC for this you'll need to a) open the file for update (on windows it will be COM3: for com 3 etc) on mac it would be open device and the device name, though again, I believe on mac people have had to resort to applescript to do the actual connection to the port. make sure you look at serialcontrolstring and use it to match settings to your arduino (I've only needed to set the baud rate to match, the other settings have worked fine as default) Should be easy to setup a stack that mimics the arduino devs built in serial monitor. a couple fields, a way to connect and disconnect, type in 1 field and send, put received data in field 2. (I can send you a simple stack that does just exactly this if you want) On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 2:52 PM, Magicgate Software - Skip Kimpel < s...@magicgate.com> wrote: > Just picked up a Uno rev3... got any quick, simple tests I can run on > it to confirm level of connectivity? > > SKIP > > On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 12:29 PM, Mike Bonner <bonnm...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I haven't nor have I used the mega or the single stick boards.
