* go to SmartTerminal parameters.py and define a new mode Controlino:
 
** self.mode              = "Controlino"  # this is not really needed but this way it is easy to turn on and off the Controlino settings.
 
** find        self.baudrate and add at end of baud rate section       
 
<pre>
 
    if self.mode == "Controlino":
 
        self.baudrate          =      19200
 
</pre>
 
  
this way of setting it will only be in effect for the mode Controlino which for now we will implement as a straight terminal
 
  
Install Controlino on your arduino and fire up both the SmartTerminal and the arduino.

What[edit]

This is part of the Instrumentino/Smart Terminal Challenge. In this part I am going to try to adapt the Instrumentino ( PC/Python ) Instrumentino Notes to the ( microcontroller ) GreenHouse Monitor Program.

Coming Soon[edit]

So far I have not been able to figure out where to start, will be in contact with the author. Stay tuned, see history tab to see how active this page is.
