Arduino is a popular physical computing board used by hobbyists and, increasingly, professional artists and designers. During a class on "Making Wireless Toys" I was asked to produce a small "how to" presentation to demonstrate communication between Arduino and the Adobe Flash software. My goal was to provide a simple intro for designers who may be more comfortable with Flash than circuits and physical switches. The resulting code can be downloaded here.


This introduction has been used in additional classes at Parsons School of Design and by others in the Arduino community. Check out SmartPark and the Infrared Sensor Game to see Arduino & Flash in use.




With thanks to Beltran Berrocal for his work on which this project was based.
