Motion sensor signal using

juozap

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to processing and coding in general, the reason I came to it was to find out how could I make certain video and/or audio to change playing speed/frame rate accordingly to motion sensor data. I understand that those kind of tasks are not for beginners to make happen so I thought maybe some more experienced people might give some ideas/advice how it could be done (if possible at all). Cheers!

oh dear....

what research have you done....?

well

• first start by making a sketch that plays a video or a sound and where you can change the speed (eg. with key + and - )

• then the idea is to buy an arduino and plug a motion sensor on it and program the arduino in C (get arduino IDE) and upload it to arduino and run it there and read the values with a processing sketch...

A simpler approach is to use the Arduino library in Processing to talk to the Firmata firmware in the Arduino.

This way you don't need to write your own Arduino code.

Really!

Wow?

Talk like in control...?

bilmor

Yep, control. It's limited to digital read/write, analog read/write, and servo control, so if you need to do any more complex processing in the Arduino you have to roll your own communication, but those routines cover most Arduino needs.

Thanks

I mainly upload and let arduino run on its own..... without cable attached, so it's autonomous....

Maybe that's why I didn't know yet....
