Applescript inside Processing
Feb 7th, 2009, 8:39pm  
What is the best way to get a variable from an Applescript script that I run in my Processing program into the actual program so I can use it?

More Specifically:
I want to get the bpm of a song in iTunes using Applescript and then send it to an Arduino.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Great question.  I'm not sure about AppleScript, but there may be alternate means of getting that info from iTunes into Processing.  I've used ProXML to grab data from the iTunes library itself (which is just an XML file).  There's a thread that touches on that here:

Keep us updated as you make progress on this.
