my name is chris and i'am an absolute processing newbe.
My first contact to processing is born by experimentig with arduino micro controllers.
I have sucessfully implement the serial library to communicate between arduino and processing to read serial data.
I am very impressed about the features from processing to visualize data from my robot.
From these experiments i am excited to visualize data from external processes:
For example:
I would like to read continuous data through a pipe from external process like:
unix: iostat -d 5 | <processing-sketch>
iostat continuously send data to the pipe and processing catch this data from STDIN
I have not found somthing like this on processing.org
I would be pleased to benefit from your experiences.
