So I'm new to processing, but I've worked with Arduino. I'm trying to learn the language and understand the libraries but I'm having a little trouble understanding some things and I was hoping yall could point me in the right direction. My basic idea for a project that I'm working on is to have a web cam to be fully automated. My computer terminal will receive a signal via bluetooth and turn on a web cam connected to to my computer. It will then record 5 seconds of video, save it and post it to the internet for the user to view. Some questions I'm asking is 1) Is it better to write the code for a linux machine or windows? 2) are there any examples in saving data from a web cam and/or posting data online?
My basic structure for the code is to have a serial outer shell to take in the signal and a openCV inner shell to record the data.
I've got a logitech c200 and it's an accessible camera for a linux machine.I've got the web cam working on both my windows and ubuntu machine.
I've searched forums and websites but I'm still lost in the basic saving and posting data from processing. If ANYONE can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it!
