Vernier sensors and processing
Apr 15th, 2009, 12:24pm  
has anyone used or got a library for the Vernier sensors <vernier.com/> with processing, I have found org-concord-sensor <code.google.com/p/org-concord-sensor/> which looks like it will work but have no idea where to start. Vernier also supply an SDK for C++.
Im new to Java  Cheesy but not coding or electronics.

Cheers Paul

I am just finishing up a simple Processing + Arduino Duemilanove project for taking tidal lung volumes in a high school setting. It works just fine for this application. The idea is to avoid Vernier. Much of the rest of the lab uses Vernier. It would be nice to develop for just the Vernier sensors without the rest of Vernier. Thanks for this concord link. Do you have a source for Vernier pinouts and sockets for the sensors?

My fallback position is to use an arduino and the Vernier sensor but thought it would be neater if I could use a Vernier Go link. The pinouts and connector details are at <vernier.com/probes/specs/pinout.html> it is very easy to interface to them, the only clever bit as
far as I can see is for the autoid of the sensor, which you can ignore if you want. Ive used the analogue output of the Hand Dynamometer with no problem. This connects via a standard uk BT type connector.

Thanks. I'm in the US. I cannot find a source for BT connectors.
