============================================================================

Architectures: WinAUE, Windows XP GUI and Windows XP Command Line.
------------------------------------------------------------------

  Requirements Are:-
  ------------------

  1) Amiga environment:-
  ----------------------
       WinUAE, AF2005 minimum.
       Standard OS3.0x install or better. 
       Full Python 1.4.x, minimum, installed.
       This archive........
           <http://main.aminet.net/docs/hard/WinUAE_Arduino.lha>
       ........is optional.
       (Python Versions 1.5.2 to 2.2.x are also available on AMINET for
       other AMIGA platforms with USB/Serial access. There are probably
       higher versions of Python for other AMIGA platforms on the WWW.)

  2) Windows environment:-
  ------------------------
       Windows (XP), OS PC running Python 2.6.x or lower.
       Similar to above, except running Python 3000.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  History:-
  ---------

  01-12-2008.
  -----------
  Version 0.00.20. Released a Python 3000 demonstration version for Windows
                   Command Prompt modes ONLY.

  19-10-2008.
  -----------
  Version 0.00.10. Probably the one and only upload for this archive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preamble...
-----------

This is demonstration code only to show that the Arduino Diecimila board
can be accessed easily using very simple Python coding. Explanation of
the code is inside the Python code itself... This is only in single byte
READ mode but is easily capable of full control using Python.

!!!BE SURE TO READ ALL COMMENTS INSIDE ANY CODE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION!!!

This opens up Python to a whole new line for WinUAE and Windows:-
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1) Multiple channel 10 bit, A-D Conversion...
2) Multiple channel PWM, 8 bit, D-A Conversion...
3) Multiple Digital I/O lines...

See the Arduino website:-
-------------------------

                          <http://arduino.cc/>

For more details about The Arduino Diecimila development board... :-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basic Setup:-
-------------

When the Arduino Diecimila development board has been installed onto a
Windows environment go to the 'Device Manager' and set the Serial Port
parameters to 1200 bps, no parity, 8 bits of data, one stop bit and NO
SW or HW handshaking.

For more information on how to set up for WinUAE, (and Windows).
(Note that the archive above will be updated with projects as time goes on.)

The archive is Public Domain/Emailware and you may modify them as you
please for your OWN experiments. See below. I would dearly love an Email
from you even if you think it is absolute rubbish... :)

(Original idea and (C)2008 goes to B.Walker, G0LCU.)

                                IMPORTANT:-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Testing Evaluation:-
    --------------------

    Windows XP with Python 2.4.x on a(n) HP Dual Core Notebook.
    WinUAE on the same HP machine running Python 2.0.x.
    Windows XP with Python 2.6.x on an old P-IV machine.
    WinUAE on the same old P-IV machine running Python 1.4.x.
    Windows XP with Python 3000 on the same old P-IV machine.
    All WinUAE test conditions were/are running standard OS3.0x/OS3.1x
    and using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout.

    I have no idea what strange configuration setups will create so refer
    to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.

                                 WARNING.
                                 --------

  1) DISCONNECT any faulty equipment under test from the MAINS supply.
  2) If a DC supply is used do NOT reverse polarity the connections.
  3) Do NOT power up any electronic item until it is safe to do so.
  4) CHECK and RECHECK all of your construction and repair work thoroughly.
  5) Handle ALL tools used with care.
  6) Beware of ALL types of solvents, glues and etching fluids.
  7) NEVER leave a soldering iron switched on unattended.
  8) KEEP everything OUT of the reach of small children.
  9) Switch OFF the AMIGA before disconnecting or connecting any hardware.
 10) And finally read 1) to 9) again.
