Alternative Arduino software

Christian Pigeon altered the Arduino code to work with the Arduino Duemilanove, and was kind enough to share it with us. Check out his blog for more information. Please note that the Duemilanove only supports two RGB channels.

If you would like to use more RGB channels than your Arduino natively supports due to a lack of PWM pins, you could try the Arduino software made by Rich Gilbank, which uses the SoftPWM library. This allows you to softwarematically simulate a PWM on a normal pin. Although the colours may flicker a bit, it is a good alternative to the standard software. Additionally, the software provides some easing on the colour transitions, which can be useful if a high amount of loops per second cannot be achieved.
For installation instructions of the SoftPWM library, please see the Arduino website.

Windows Software - Source code

The software of the Amblone system was created in Visual C++ 2008, as an MFC project.

The documentation is far from complete, but it contains some important information about the PC software and the communication between the Arduino and the PC.
