Arduino Yun

Crash Course

each Yun

  • is numbered
  • has a designated box
  • has a label on it with its number and the last two octets of its IP address (I.E. cs4 130.63 is csyun4 with the IP 159.28.130.63)
    • 159.28 is Earlham's IP address

Details

Package Manager

Uses a package manager called opkg. Very similar to apt-get and yum. Has a healthy selection of software.

Comes preinstalled with

  • python 2.7
  • node.js
  • vim / nano

Boot

  • The Arduino side boots up almost instantaneously.
  • However, the Linux side takes about as long as a normal PC to boot up.
  • The white light seems to indicate that the wifi is working as well as other things.

Sketch Upload

  • You can't upload sketches through wifi on ECWireless. It works on normal LANs. (Why?)
  • It's normal for the USB to lose connection and to immediately reestablish connection. The Arduino programmable USB seems to be piggybacking on linux as a virtual COM port.
    • Sometimes the recognized COM port will change after the first sketch upload. It seems this is due to the linux side swapping to the correct Arduino COM port.
    • If the connection is not reestablished (why?) you can use the "USB stops being recognized" bit below.

Serial

  • Serial talks via the Arduino serial monitor
  • Bridge establishes communication between Arduino and Linux processors
  • Console uses bridge to establish a console (similar to serial) that can be accessed with telent from the Yun's local terminal


troubleshooting

Network

I had trouble getting it on ECWireless.

  • I went to go to ITS and had them register the Yuns manually. ITS has registered our Yuns' as "college owned" so that they don't require authentication.
  • In the Yun web configuration panel I set them to connect to ECWireless and then was able to ssh to them directly.
  • However, I could not upload sketches via wifi. This is due to the configuration of ECWireless.

It's possible to get a Yun's IP by uploading a ShellCommand sketch and running the "ifconfig" command.

  • very useful when on a non-static IP network
  • For example, this could be used to get a Yun's IP address when it's on Guest Wireless.

USB stops being recognized

This fixed my problem: arduino form

  1. nano /usr/bin/run-avrdude
  2. Change the efuse value from FB to CB
  3. execute "/usr/bin/run-avrdude /etc/arduino/Caterina-Yun.hex"
