## Description

Astrology-themed visuals using the Arduino TVout library.

## Setup

### Requirements

- Arduino IDE 1.6.8 (tested on Linux x64)

- Arduino Uno, Arduino Leonardo or Arduino Mega 2560 

- [TVout 1.0.1](https://github.com/Avamander/arduino-tvout) (tested on commit `d3003a5`)

### Hardware

Setup your Arduino board like this:

Additionally, add a LED on pin 13.

### Sketch

1. Install the Arduino IDE and TVout library.

2. Add `-fpermissive` to the `compiler.cpp.flags` property in `hardware/arduino/avr/platform.txt` (relative to the Arduino IDE directory).

3. Copy all `.h` and `.cpp` files in `TVout/TVoutfonts` to `TVout` (relative to the Arduino IDE `libraries` directory).

4. Compile `taurus.ino` and upload it using the Arduino IDE.

If you're having issues linking against `libreadline.so.6`, use:

```bash

$ cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

$ sudo ln -s libreadline.so.7.0 libreadline.so.6

```

If uploading results in `avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyACM0": Permission denied`, try:

```bash

$ sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0

```
