Can the iPad touchscreen serve as input for Processing on the PC
Is this possible? I know there is a processing app for the ipad itself, could that be used to send data to processing on the computer? any tips would be greatly appreciated
By input i dont mean anything in specific, it could be x,y values, maybe a button on the ipad screen, I'm confident I could make any variation of those work pretty much. Thanks.

Take a look at TouchOSC for the iPad, and use oscP5 in your Processing application. I've tested that setup with Android and it was really easy to get going.
What velvetkevorkian says sound good. Else you can always make a website, store the values in a database and retrieve the values on your pc.
Sry for tripple post, this forum is bugged.
Yeah it's totally misbehaving today.
To expand on the website idea, if you know some web development it's not that hard to set up a websocket connection in Processing, at least on a local network.
Ah, I like the website idea, but wouldn't that require that I actually put the website online?
Also thanks for the replies I really appreciate it.
If you don't want to store it online then you could make a local host. XAMP and MAMP are easy programs for that. Then look into how to acces a local host from another computer. I'm not sure if it's possible from an iPad. I think osc would be a lot easier.
