This forum is a great source of information for many DIY monome-related questions, but one thing that seems underrepresented is examples of arduino code that people have successfully used to emulate a monome using the monome serial protocol.
Being able to study some working monome/arduino code (whether its using a sparkfun pad or a monome keypad, single colour or rgb LEDS) would be a huge help for me as i stumble around with the beginnings of my own arduino monome clone.
(or perhaps the code examples are out there and i've just looking in the wrong places?)
Thanks in advance! -

the *actual* firmware is posted on the wiki, which is actually very similar to how arduino code "looks" in many ways. it'll give you a good idea how to get the serial protocol working, for example.

good luck! -

I posted here a link to my progress
http://post.monome.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=1549&page=1#Item_23
Still some work & testing to do, but it seems to interpret all the incoming messages in a good way -

and by the way, thanks a lot, tehn, for having the sources freely available ^^ -

tehn: I hadn't even made the firmware == code connection yet :) Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction (and for making all this available of course) I've printed it out to study.
melka: thanks also, i'll be checking your work too. -

Hi, bitbutter
I EXACTLY would like to do that.
arduino + 3 Max7221 + Sparkfun buttons and PCB + RGB Leds
8X8
I dream about adaptation EXACTLY the monome firmware cause it does everything I want to do:
- driving (rgb) led
- driving buttons with debouncing etc
you can contact me via:

hi julienb,
I've been reading about your progress over the last week or so too. My project is slightly different to yours since i'm not using rgb LEDs, just single colour ones (like the vanome http://www.flickr.com/photos/unsped/2353794932/ )
I'm writing up the steps i take in the following blog: http://basementleds.blogspot.com/
I think i have an idea of how to write the arduino code (and i'll post all the versions of it that i write on the blog too). But perhaps other people have solved some problems in more efficient ways, or spotted things i might have overlooked.
(ps: you should probably not publish your email addresses on publically accessible web pages, or if you do, then do it in a 'coded' way, so that spam bots don't grab them. I've had a couple of addresses ruined because of that :( ) -

Just updating this with info from other threads: Jordan Hochenbaum has published working arduino/monome code which you can download from his blog here: http://bricktable.wordpress.com/30/download-code/
There's also a monome.org thread about it here: http://post.monome.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=1711&page=1#Comment_17790

@bit -- I'd just like to say that I am only one half of Brick Table, the blog, and the monome clone we are working on. The other half of the brain is Owen Vallis, and I am lucky to have such a good friend to work with!
Just thought I'd clear that up because I don't want to take more credit than I deserve :)
P.S. The real hard work goes to tehn and monome and everyone here and around that has helped us get this far... just a little more ways to go!
Big thanks to everyone-
