Mac v Windows the eternal battle

3/4/2020

So this whole time I've been programming the HUZZAH feather with my old windows laptop because not a single ESP8266 board will compile the blink example on my Mac. If I go back to old blog posts, I wrote about the problem in more detail in the past. It requires deep computer surgery and I'm not quite ready to do that on my Mac just yet. 

Since I know that I have the code to print the sensor data through UDP and Serial simultaneously, I wanted to use that to add the wireless method to my Arduino to Max GLOBE bpatcher. I would use the matching serial and UDP readings to know which outlet to hookup to for each sensor. I thought it would be easier to do this all on my Windows in case if I needed to re-program the ESP8266. However, I was then having lots of troubles getting Max to print the data through Serial. I was confused because it was printing finr through the serial monitor while also printing through UDP. I finally figured out for whatever reason, my Windows has become unfriendly when it comes to allowing Max to print through Serial. It says that it's connected to port E and sometimes it will print, other times it won't. I have to delete the "e" in the argument of the Serial object and add it in again to get it going (sometimes). 

I tried plugging into my Mac again, and it was fine. So now I have the problem that I can only program the Arduino code on my Windows, and I can only use Arduino to Max (wired) on my Mac. Once I have everything finalized, this won't be an issue. But for troubleshooting purposes, this is kind of annoying. 

In the end I added the capabilities to toggle between serial and udp in the bpatcher. I added a little accelerometer mapping. And I started on my dissertation.

    If you are looking for a summary for my Masters thesis, it is here.

    This page is where I blog about my progress with my Masters thesis. It is in no way meant to be "official" or in academic lingo. It's meant for me to quickly jot down my ideas before I forget them, even if they may not necessarily make sense to anyone else.
