Step 11Get Running!
Whew. Ok, so we have a Foot Switch, which is wired into a breadboard, which is attached to an Arduino, which is plugged USB into a Mac, which is running a C program that listens to the footswitch and execs applescripts. Yowza!
ok. you should have a folder that looks like this:
.
|-- 1.app
|-- 2.app
|-- arduino-serial-footswitch
`-- arduino-serial-footswitch.c
Open up your terminal app. CD into the directory you made. You can start your little script like:
./arduino-serial-footswitch -p `ls /dev/tty.usbserial*` -b 9600 -R
this runs our script by looking for our Arduino board...if you have more than one plugged in, replace all of `ls /dev/tty.usbserial*` with the path to the device (if you do this dont use the quotes!).
It will appear to do nothing, but your pedal is now live. If your buttons are backwards, you can reverse the wires running to pins 8 & 9. :)
Happy Stomping!
