Arduino Wireless Communication via the Electric Imp
How to communicate between an Electric Imp and Arduino using serial.
If you're looking to interface an imp with an Arduino, check out the Electric Imp Shield. We've also written a tutorial on communicating via serial between the imp and Arduino.
Resources
The folks at Electric Imp have loads of great resources on their wiki. Among the many links on that page, these ones stand out for being extra helpful:
- Electric Imp API Reference - Here you'll find all of the imp-specific functions.
- Electric Imp Developer Forums - There's a wealth of knowledge in the imp community. If you've got a question, search for an answer here, or start a new topic.
- imp Card Datasheet - A good datasheet for the imp (now called the imp001). You'll find electrical characteristics here, along with other useful info.
- imp002 Datasheet - The datasheet for the imp002 module.
If you're still left with imp-related questions, try consulting their forums.
