Using Arduino when it's not connected to AM?

#1 Post by frumpy »

Hi,
I am using a Nano for sending inputs to the sim. It's got a LED to it and I have a few pins left. I thought about doing some eyecandy RGB stuff when it's idle on the table.
As far as I understand, this is not possible due to the AM firmware just supporting action when AM is running. But still I want to ask -
did I miss something or is anyone having an idea how to accomplish this?

There's indeed Sim Innovations firmware on the device, so you cannot add your own sketch. But you can do this using the message port library, but you'll need to do your own coding.
