Save input text via GUI Builder in a way that i can use it with a Arduino

humi7

I need your help! I'm sittin on a project for university. I have build a gui with the g4p guibuilder in processing. What i want, is that the text you enter in a textfield is saved somewhere in a way that you can use it via a arduino? How can i do that?

I can't help with the arduino side but you can get the text from a textfiled with

String mytext = textfield.getText();

then convert that to a byte array with

byte myByteArray = myText.getBytes();

There must be ways to transfer bytes to the arduino device.

thank you. whre do i have to write these code? sorry, i am a newbie. here is my code:

PImage img; // Need G4P library import g4p_controls.*;

public void setup() { size(870, 550, JAVA2D); createGUI(); customGUI(); // Place your setup code here img = loadImage("background.jpg"); }

public void draw() { image(img, 0, 0, 870, 550); //background(230); }

// Use this method to add additional statements // to customise the GUI controls public void customGUI() { }

and this:
