POP-Loader : Bootloader utility for uploading user code (.hex) from other AVR tools such as AVR Studio into POP-168 / POP-MCU (For Windows)
Version 1.20 build 2011.07.01
Download here: http://www.avride.com/pop/store/POPLoaderSetup.exe
Fix : correct flash section on download, File -> Save .hex Flash as file
Download POP-168 Bootloader file: POP168BOOT.zip
(Update new “wiring.c” and “wiring.h” for Arduino 0015)
Since Servo library published with Arduino 0012 package and seem to be problem to old Servo library code. Because new library which derive from ServoTimer on Playground and replace old “Servo” name.
new “Servo” library using built-in Timer for automatic refresh signal pulse which more ease to use, but limited to pin 9 and 10 only (that capable only 2 motors).
old “Servo” library published on Playground using derive work from Wiring project which connect to any pin on arduino, upto 20 instance (pin 0 to pin 19).
and code always called Servo.refresh(); at least every 50ms. for continue signal send and get work properly.
then I’d remake this library again and rename to “SoftwareServo” avoid name conflict to 0012 Servo library
you can download library below link
http://www.avride.com/pop/store/SoftwareServo_millisSet_addon.zip
unzip file on current Arduino folder, and overwrite “wiring.c” and “wiring.h” because I’d add new millisSet(unsigned long); function, for direct millis() counter can be set or clear to zero (useful for timer applcation)
on SoftwareServo library, I’d also put two example,
one is “sweep” : just control Servo on pin2 looping
another is “SerialServo” : control Servo motro by Serial Monitor command, adapt form example on playground. simple command key are listed below
“A” for select motor on pin2
“B” for select motor on pin4
“0″ to “9″ control recent selected motor’s position from 0 to 180 degree, each value step represented to position multiply by 20 degree.

SerialServer relays bytes back and forth from an internet socket connection to a hardware serial port. It is sort of like an ethernet to RS232 converter. This is especially useful for software like Flash which has an easy time making socket connections and a hard time making serial connections.
For Win32 user, AvrIDE.com Team had re-package for easy install to Arduino software, publish on AvrIDE.com only , http://www.avride.com/pop/store/SerialServerSetup.exe
install on Arduino software folder, SerialServer icon created on Start Menu and click to run..
For Linux user, download http://www.avride.com/pop/store/ss6linux.tar and extract files on disk (Arduino folder recommended)
copy RXTXcomm.jar and librxtxSerial.so into JAVA Runtime -> lib -> ext
pathname depand on Version you are using (root permission needs for files copy),
$ sudo cp RXTXcomm.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/ext
$ sudo cp librxtxXSerial.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/ext
then run ss6.jar on console
$ java -jar ss6.jar
for MacOS X (Intel) users, download http://www.avride.com/pop/store/ss6mac.zip and extract files on disk (Arduino folder recommended)
copy RXTXcomm.jar and libSerial.jnilib into /Library/Java/Extensions/.
for FTDI USB Serial adapter (UCON-232) can download driver package V2.2.10 on http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/UniBin/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_10.dmg
also available on folder ” Arduino -> driver “.
Unpack and install package and restart needed.
after boot again, plug FTDI USB Serial to machine and open ” System Preference -> Network “.
the notification “New Interface detected” as FT232R USB UART and click “Confirm”
next procedure for avoid report “Port already in use” (issue on 081024) and status is <Bad>
because application cannot access to use folder /var/lock was missing on new Machine
Let’s do it, open Terminal and type
sudo su
(System user password needed for change)
then change permission on “/var/spool/uucp”
chmod 755 /var/spool/uucp
and take owner by system
chown root:wheel /var/spool/uucp
if folder “/var/lock” is not appear , you need to create new one
mkdir /var/lock
and change permission too
chmod 777 /var/lock
That’s all done… call ss6.jar and check port status and shoulld be appear <OK>

Updated on 2008-11-02, <Worapoht K.>
From online guide “How to get Arduino running on MacOS X 10.3.9 or later”
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/MacOSX
Test on MacOS X Leopard 10.5 (Intel),
First, download Arduino software MacOS X package on
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software , about 63.45MB
unpack to Desktop and get in the folder “arduino-0012”
because modern Mac machine no have generic Serial port built-in like PC, then USB to Serial port adapter is needed for communication. We’d recommend adapter using FTDI chip (INEX’s UCON-232S)
open subfolder “drivers” then open (mount) FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_9_Intel.dmg (If you using PPC, mount another file FTDIUSBSerialDriver_V2_1_9.dmg) then run the extracted package installer file and follow the instruction .
after finished, system will force to restart machine again..
after back to MacOS X , Arduino is Ready to use..
Run Arduino software and open menu
Select Board -> Arduino Mini for POP-168 Module
and Select port -> /dev/tty.usbserial-A1000q5a (or other in /tty.usbserial-Axxxxxxx format) for FTDI chip (also UCON-232S adapter)
if you machine is not Apple Inc. machine (AKA. MacClone, HackIntosh) which generic RS-232 Serial Port available. It’s will appear on menu as /dev/tty.serial1
from original document on http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Linux/Xandros
run Arduino on EeePC’s Xandros Linux which use Debian online update apt-get command then Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, 8.04 Hardy Heron, 8.10 Intrepid Ibex also work too..
Step by step on Installation via internet update service. (High speed connection recommended)
1.open Terminal (Console)
2.use pico change Debian repository,sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list
then add line
deb http://www.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
3. write file back and start online update,
sudo apt-get update
(time depand on internet connection speed)
4.then update need package softwares
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install avr-libc
sudo apt-get install gcc-avr
5.download Arduino Linux 0011 from http://www.arduino.cc then unpack to Desktop, or using command-line
cd
wget http://www.arduino.cc/files/arduino-0011-linux.tgz
tar -xvzf arduino-0011-linux.tgz
6.test run Arduino
cd arduino-0011
./arduino
if everything okay, Arduino software IDE will appear and no error message pop-up
for FTDI USB-Serial adapter
must be uninstall braille terminal first before using FTDI USB Serial adapter, type command
sudo apt-get remove brltty
after remove package you can plug USB-Serial adapter and open Arduino software IDE will apear /dev/ttyUSB0 on Serial port menu
open arduino, Select board -> Arduino Mini for POP-168 and choose proper port name before uploading
(Click image for larger size)
Only regulated +5V.DC supply and RS-232 conection to PC’s serial port (COM) to work POP-168

Tod E. Kurt’s Spooky Projects Serieshttp://todbot.com/blog/spookyarduino , Get more idea inside..
After download and install Arduino software on machine, configuration must be choose on the first times.
Step by step guide
Run “Arduino” program, Set microcontroller type, by menu : Tools -> Microcontroller (MCU) -> and select “atmega168″. (since Release 0010, this sub menu was changed to “Board” select instead , set Board -> Arduino Mini)
Set communication port, on menu : Tools -> Serial Port -> select “COM” port as POP-168 present
Open LED demo blinking example, on menu : File -> Sketchbook -> Examples -> Digital -> select “Blink” demo sketch
then prepare POP-168 into Bootloader
- Power off POP-168
- Hold BL switch , then Power on POP-168
- Release BL switch
If Blue LED on POP-168 was lighted and not blink,
then POP-168 had entered Bootloader mode and ready to uploaded.
POP-168 is fitted on 24 pin form like BASIC Stamp I/O and Code downloading via RS-232.
A little changed on power input, POP-168 didn’t provide on-board voltage regulator. Only apply +5V.DC on pin21 directly and continue your exist application.
here is example on Parallax’s Professional Development Board (PDB) modification to work with POP-168 Read the rest of this entry »
