New beginner needs help!
Dec 27th, 2009, 4:40pm  
Hi all, I'm new to processing and I have few questions.
First of all I have to say that I am italian, so excuse me for my ugly english... I would like to know if is possible to detect some data from motherboards sensors, like cpu temp, fan speed, ram used and so on. I'm new to processing and programming, so I have to learn a lot! I'm new in electronic too and I have built a little software in processing that allows to control a pcb with 8 relay through serial communication with an arduino; I have a lot of available pins on my board, so I would like to build an electronic board with stripes of leds that show this data. I think the circuit is quite easy to do, but I don't have any idea to catch them. Once this data are managed by processing, I send them to an arduino board through serial communication, now the problem is how can I do to receive this data.
Thanks for reading my post.

i can only point to a post by PhiLho some time ago :

if you are just using processing and arduino to Build some Leds that show you the Ram usage etc. youll probably find some better solutions. There is a lot of stuff you can get in the PC modding scene that does excactly that. .
