Pin Visualizer

Debug your code with ease! The pin visualizer is a simple block of code that tells you what pins fire when. Check your programming work or reverse engineer a shield! Voltage on analog pins and logic state on digital pins are displayed. The TouchShield only uses pins 2 & 3 (with power) which leaves 6 analog pins and 12 digital pins free for use. Signals are followed in real-time.

Here’s a close up of the pin visualization:

And check out this video walk-through:

I’ve uploaded the rest of the TouchShield’s built-in commands are over at the function reference wiki.

This clears up serial communication quite a bit. thanks. BTW, i like how the analoginput text color changes as voltage changes. Very cool app. I think i’ll use it as a springboard for my project.

I’ve just bought one Touch Shield from Spark but it seems it’s not working properly. It cannot display the lines of the rectangles. I copied the code using different examples and I always get the same: rectangles without borders, not matter the color of the background.

What could be wrong? Is my touchshield defective?

Hi Guys,

the code for the pin visualiser is no longer available from the link provided – any chance you can post it up here again or email it to me on: stevetaylor123 [at] hotmail [dot] com. Or if there are another good examples of serial communication between the arduino and the TouchShield it would be great to see.

Thanks, Steve.
