Hello there dear people of Processing.
I'm now at my 4th day of learning Processing.
After a few brainbusters I've come to a point where I need your help.
I'm currently working on a test model of an idea that I have.
My goal is is have a step motor turning, with 8 magnets or rfid chips on the side.
This will be read by a sensor. This sensor will tell the software at what degrees (0, 45, 90, 135 etc) the step motor is.
The software will then adjust the movie to to right frame, according to the degrees of the step motor.
I've copy and pasted serval examples together and I've achieved some parts of it.
For now, the hardware part is just a press of the keyboard.
And instead of the movie, I have a timer.
But here's my problem. When the magnet passed the sensor (keyPressed),
the current frame will be skipped to the right number.
So you will have a cut in the movie(which is a timer for now).
I want to achieve a speed up or slow down to adjust to the correct frame.
I think this is possible by tweening or easing, but I don't know how to implement this.
Underneath is my code. I hope this and my question makes any sense to you. If not, tell me.
If you have any tips on making this work, please let me know.
