The difference between ATMega 32U2 and 32U4

oFSerial
The behavier of oFSerial and comport object on Pd is different.
oFSerial::available returns the number of bytes, and readByte returns byte itself only when the received message contains \n (ascii 13), which is highly problematic for high speed raw byte sending.
Presumably this is caused by the flags of serial fucntions.
in comport:
—–
new->c_cflag |= (CREAD | CLOCAL);
/* always nocanonical, this means raw i/o no terminal */
new->c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ECHO | ECHOE | ISIG);
/* no post processing */
new->c_oflag &= ~OPOST;
——
in ofSerial
——
oflag O_RDWR | O_NOCITY | O_NONBLOCK
cflag CLOCAL | CREAD | CS8
cflag &= ~(PARENB | CSTOPB | CSIZE)
——
The problem is ofSerial does not canonical mode by
&= ~ICANON
so without sending \n or other special character, the front ends holds the data and not release them to the receiver app.

Serial USB on Arch
When a serial USB device is inserted, the linux kernel detects it and put /dev/ttyACM0.
This is with rw-rw—- permission and this file belongs to uucp.
Thus, the user must include himself to the group uucp by
> sudo usermod -a -G uucp chikashi
relogin is required afterwards.

^ for toggling LED
How to use ^ operator
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/int/sx4ab.html
The ^ (caret) operator performs a bitwise exclusive-OR on two integers. Each bit in the result is 1 if one, but not both, of the corresponding bits in the two input operands is 1. For example, 0x56 ^ 0x32 is 0x64:
0 ^ 0 = 0
0 ^ 1 = 1
1 ^ 0 = 1
1 ^ 1 = 0
Thus, PORTB ^= (1 << PB3) toggles the LED because if the LED is on(1) it returns 0, and it is off(0) it returns 1.

USB device and permission
The Peacock hardware is recognised as general human interface device and it is found under:
/dev/usb/hiddev0
> udevadm info -a /dev/usb/hiddev0
returns the info about the device: the most important info would be:
- KERNEL==”hiddev0″
- SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”
- ATTRS{idVendor}==”03eb”
- ATTRS{idProduct}==”204f”
You can test the rule by
> udevadm test /dev/usb/hiddev0
you will get errors if invalid commands are found in the rules
In order to open the permission of Peacock to all users
KERNEL==”hiddev[0-9]*”,SUBSYSTEM==”usbmisc”, SUBSYSTEMS=”usb”,ATTRS{idVendor}==”03eb”, ATTRS{idProduct}==”204f”,MODE=”777″
