The GoGo Board 6.x firmware for an Arduino Core

This firmware enabled default features of 3 digital ports on arduino core side (bottom-left of the board). This consists of temperature / humidity (SHT31), ultrasonic distance (Grove ultrasonic) and rgb leds (Grove NeoPixels).

Usage with G-message to control or getting value from Arduino Core

• Temperature (sensor value)
  • G-message key : temperature
• Humidity (sensor value)
  • G-message key : humidity
• Ultrasonic distance (sensor value)
  • G-message key : distance
• RGB LEDs (peripheral control)
  • set pixels number / count
    • G-message key : pixels:count
    • G-message value : <number of pixels on strip> (Max at 255 LEDs)
  • set pixel brightness
    • G-message key : pixels:brightness
    • G-message value : <brightness percentage> (0 - 100% brightness)
  • set pixels color
    • G-message key : pixels:color
    • G-message value : <color number> (0 - 20 predefined colors)
  • set pixels pattern
    • G-message key : pixels:pattern
    • G-message value : <pattern number> (0 - 4 predefined patterns)

Predefined colors and patterns

How to download / update firmware to Arduino Core ?

This firmware can be downloaded to the Arduino Core by using GoGo Updater program

GoGo Updater Installer : Download link

Update Arduino Core firmware procedure

• Open GoGo Updater program. (must be close GoGo Plugin first, if it running)
• Download latest Arduino Core firmware binary file : here
• Connect Micro-USB port at the back of GoGo Board to your computer
• Press and hold a button(ARD BOOT) near Micro-USB port while turning on the GoGo Board's power switch
• On GoGo Updater, browse the downloaded firmware file by using STM browse button (connection status says Not Connected, it's a normal behavior)
• Click on Update button the program will performs updating

After updating, you should see the Red LED at the back of GoGo Board(near STM Arduino Core chip) blinking every 1 second
