Can't figure how to light up a led when motion is detected...

Great forum!
I'm new in Processing.
My idea is to detect real-time motion and then write the information hereof to my Arduino causing a led lighting up. I though this peace of code would do it. The image processing part is great, but I can't make the movementSum > 0 turn on ledPin13... It's only blinking for a while and then nothing... Any ideas to how i can make it work will be apreciated :)
- import processing.serial.*;
- import cc.arduino.*;
- import processing.video.*;
- Arduino arduino;
- int ledPin = 13;
- int numPixels;
- int[] previousFrame;
- Capture video;
- void setup() {
- size(640, 480); // Change size to 320 x 240 if too slow at 640 x 480
- // Uses the default video input, see the reference if this causes an error
- video = new Capture(this, width, height, 24);
- numPixels = video.width * video.height;
- // Create an array to store the previously captured frame
- previousFrame = new int[numPixels];
- loadPixels();
- println(Arduino.list());
- arduino = new Arduino(this, Serial.list()[1], 57600);
- for (int i = 0; i <= 13; i++)
- arduino.pinMode(i, Arduino.OUTPUT);
- }
- void draw() {
- if (video.available()) {
- // When using video to manipulate the screen, use video.available() and
- // video.read() inside the draw() method so that it's safe to draw to the screen
- video.read(); // Read the new frame from the camera
- video.loadPixels(); // Make its pixels[] array available
- int movementSum = 0; // Amount of movement in the frame
- for (int i = 0; i < numPixels; i++) { // For each pixel in the video frame...
- color currColor = video.pixels[i];
- color prevColor = previousFrame[i];
- // Extract the red, green, and blue components from current pixel
- int currR = (currColor >> 16) & 0xFF; // Like red(), but faster
- int currG = (currColor >> 8) & 0xFF;
- int currB = currColor & 0xFF;
- // Extract red, green, and blue components from previous pixel
- int prevR = (prevColor >> 16) & 0xFF;
- int prevG = (prevColor >> 8) & 0xFF;
- int prevB = prevColor & 0xFF;
- // Compute the difference of the red, green, and blue values
- int diffR = abs(currR - prevR);
- int diffG = abs(currG - prevG);
- int diffB = abs(currB - prevB);
- // Add these differences to the running tally
- movementSum += diffR + diffG + diffB;
- // Render the difference image to the screen
- pixels[i] = color(diffR, diffG, diffB);
- // The following line is much faster, but more confusing to read
- //pixels[i] = 0xff000000 | (diffR << 16) | (diffG << 8) | diffB;
- // Save the current color into the 'previous' buffer
- previousFrame[i] = currColor;
- }
- // To prevent flicker from frames that are all black (no movement),
- // only update the screen if the image has changed.
- updatePixels();
- println(movementSum); // Print the total amount of movement to the console
- if (movementSum > 0) {
- arduino.digitalWrite(ledPin, arduino.HIGH); // turn the LED on
- } else {
- arduino.digitalWrite(ledPin, arduino.LOW); // Otherwise turn it OFF
- }
- }
- }
