Problem with images transitions
Jun 10th, 2010, 6:13pm
 
Hello,

I'm making a program that includes 5 images connected to arduino.
What do i need to do?

I need to load that images ( all vectors ) , and my animation will start one of this images, and each pulse that arudino sends to processing, make the alpha transition between the images.

I have already make this:
____________________________

void setup(){

 size(500,500);

PImage a;
a = loadImage("1.jpg");
image(a, 0, 0);
tint(255,60);


PImage b;
b = loadImage("2.jpg");
image(b, 0, 0);
tint(255,40);

}

void draw(){
 if (portaArduino.available() > 0)   // Se o dado esta disponivel,
   val = portaArduino.read();         // leia esse valor e armazene em "val"
   println(val);
 }

 // - - - - LDRS COME‚àö√°O
 switch(val) {

 case 110: //
   int cont = 5;
   a = tint(255,(60+cont));
   cont++;
}
}

The code its not ready yet as you can see. I make a counter to change the alpha channel for each image when comes the pulse. BUUT, when the arduino stops to send pulses, the alpha needs to come back to normal gradually

Hi Gustavo,

The tint(...) function works like the stroke(...) and fill(...) functions: it prepares the "painting brush" for the next image.  They don't change images that have already been drawn.

Thus, you want to move the image(...) and tint(...) calls into draw(), which is better anyway because setup() is for setup and draw() is for drawing Wink  Make sure each tint(...) call is before the image(...) call for which you intended it.

You'll need to move the PImage a/b declarations outside the setup() function to make them available in draw(), of course.  Also, your cont variable should be a global variable as well.  You can increase it if arduino sends pulses, and decrease it otherwise.

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
 Christian
