using serial within an object?
Apr 21st, 2010, 2:51pm  
Hi all:

I'm still learning the best methodologies for OOP, and it seems to me that ideally I'd like to have an Arduino "object" that keeps up with all the latest stats from my Arduino, so that my main loop could just call:

Code:
println( myArduino.currentSpeed() );


To me, that would mean that ideally the "Arduino" class would implement "processing.serial.*", create its own serial object, and constantly check for updates.

Is this possible and/or a sane approach? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Ideally my parent object wouldn't have to do anything at all about the serial port; the "Arduino" object would just automatically wait for serial events all on its own. Is this possible?
