I have managed to send one value from processing to arduino. (which maps mouseX and lights the respective LED on an LED strip of Neopixels) I went through a lot of forums and tried to send MOuse Position(2 values ) from processing to arduino .. By trying to seperate the numbers using substring and toInt ... But then the programm doesn't seem to be working.
can anyone share an simple example that sends and recieves X and Y values

The full message I am getting is: Error, disabling serialEvent() for /dev/cu.usbmodem2574541 null

The sketch will get the data one time than it hangs on this message.

Here is my code; I am getting the data from an arduino teensy 3.5 Please help.

Thanks

@GoToLoop, certainly, "Java's datatype byte is problematic", but it is the only 8-bit datatype that Java has. Communication methods need to use that datatype. I have had some problems trying to send data between sketches, and also trying to send data between Arduino and Processing. You came to help, I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh in my response. I probably should have pointed out your error in a private message, but I guess we both learned something from this. Again, thanks for your help.

how to read the value from arduino and then i want to displaying that on processing window. This is my arduino code:

      #include <TimerOne.h>

Thank you very much

Hi, I am just starting to explore posibilities to make something work in processing via arduino (sensors). On school exhibition I want to make a picture display that shows one image at the time on the wall (with a projector), depending how close or far person is located from distance sensor. This is a sketch of what I am thinking about: To see if it really works, I explored some tutorials that explains how to connect Arduino input with Processing. Currently, I have these codes in both programs: for Arduino:

const int anPin1 = 0;
long distance1;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);  // sets the serial port to 9600
}

void read_sensors(){
  /*
  Scale factor is (Vcc/512) per inch. A 5V supply yields ~9.8mV/in
  Arduino analog pin goes from 0 to 1024, so the value has to be divided by 2 to get the actual inches
  */
  distance1 = analogRead(anPin1)/2;
}

void print_all(){
  /*
  Serial.print("S1");
  Serial.print("inches");
  */
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(distance1);
  Serial.println();
}

void loop() {
  read_sensors();
  print_all();
  delay(50); 
}

And for Processing:

import processing.serial.*;  
Serial myPort;  
String data="" ;
PFont  myFont;  
int distance;

void setup(){
  size(1366,900); // size of processing window
  //background(0);// setting background color to black

  myPort = new Serial(this, "/dev/cu.usbmodemfd111", 9600);
  myPort.bufferUntil('\n');
}

void draw(){

  background(0);
  textAlign(CENTER);
  fill(255);
  text(data,820,400);
  textSize(100);
  fill(#4B5DCE);
  text("              Distance :        cm",450,400);
  noFill();
  stroke(#4B5DCE);

}

void serialEvent(Serial myPort){

  data=myPort.readStringUntil('\n');

}

And this distance reading works perfect!

Unfortunately didn’t found any specific example for what i am looking for. So the question is, how can I get, for example, 3 pictures working this way:

if(distance>60){
image(photo1, 0, 0); //display first photograpgy
}
else if (40<distance<60) {
image(photo2, 0, 0);
}
else if (distance<40) {
image(photo3, 0, 0);
}

Do I have to write something like that in draw ()? And how can I get income distance value as number from which depends displayed image? And should I upload any specific library for this? Do i have to write something also again in Arduino code?

Would be great if someone could suggest any examples or codes for this.

Hoping for advise, komats!!

Hi there, Looking for someone with knowledge in Arduino, Processing, P5js who can work with me closely in developing a project. Interested people please get in touch with me for further details. Thank you.

Do you know where I could apply freelance jobs wherein processing or arduino coding are involved?

Processing as a "programming language", rather than an actual library, caters more for the artistic folks. :D

And Processing's already got the 3 most important languages for them covered, and even beyond: $-)

1. Java as Java & Android Modes: Still the world's most used programming language. C-style syntax. ~O)
2. JavaScript as both Pjs & p5.js flavors: Literally the Java's syntax deployed to the web! Where most artists wanna show up their works! :bz
3. Python as both Python Mode & p5py flavors: Earned its place in academics introductory programming courses, due to its clean (no curly brackets) & easier syntax. O:-)

Of course there are also R as R Mode, Clojure as Quill and Ruby as Ruby-Processing. Maybe more. <:-P
And similar to Processing we've even got C/C++ as Arduino & openFrameworks. \m/

@SnailPropulsionLabs===

sorry, i have not seen any examples (from your link) related to wifi, blueTooh or nfc; tell me if i am wrong.

@Gwak===

• Wifi: i have have already answered (to you!) for that:https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/19325/wifi-list-connection-by-android-mode-at-processing-tool/p1

• bluetooth: i answered there https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/20881/processing-android-mode-android-device-bluetooth-arduino/p1

• nfc: you have asked for that; i have already said that i have code written for that (writing:reading nfc) but it s with AS and i have to adapt it for P5. Sorry: as for now i have not any time left.

Thanks Chrisir. I've already figured that out. Unfortunately it isn't realistic to post my code. I have thousands of lines and multiple threads. I'm also using several libraries and I'm interacting with an Arduino over serial and hundreds of text files. Nobody would be able to duplicate the error with just the code. I've been injecting println commands into the code to try to figure out where the problem is happening but as of yet I haven't been able to pinpoint it. What I was trying to figure out with this question is how to decipher some of the stack trace codes. Specifically, what does 1967 refer to?

Is it possible to use the serial p5.serialcontrol and a local server to broadcast the data acquired by an Arduino?

Great, thank you for sharing your solution. May I ask why you were calling stop()? I have done arduino and serial stuff before and I didn't call this at all before. Where you following some reference that was advising you to do this?

You should do everything in minim, instead of accessing audio using processing.sound. I will start with these :

http://code.compartmental.net/minim/audioplayer_method_play.html
http://code.compartmental.net/minim/minim_method_createrecorder.html

You can also skip the arduino part. Instead, you can map senVal to the mouse position in the screen to simulate the arduino part:

quick.rate(map(mouseX, width,0, 1, 0.25));

I am trying to use the minim library to record a mp3 that is manipulated with a motion sensor. However, the recordings I am making are coming up empty. Here is my code:

import processing.serial.*;
import cc.arduino.*;
import org.firmata.*;
import processing.sound.*;
import ddf.minim.*;
import ddf.minim.ugens.*;

Arduino ardy;

SoundFile quick;
int senVal;
Minim         minim;
AudioOutput   out;
AudioRecorder recorder;

void setup() {
  fullScreen(P3D);
  noCursor();
  background(0);

  //Getting Arduino Data
  println(Arduino.list());
  ardy = new Arduino(this, "COM3", 57600); 
  ardy.pinMode(0, Arduino.INPUT);

  //sound
  quick = new SoundFile(this, "QUICKENING.mp3");
  quick.loop();

  //record sound
  minim = new Minim(this);
  out = minim.getLineOut();
  recorder = minim.createRecorder(out, "quickening_live.wav");

  frameRate(25);
}

void draw() {
  //Sensor Data
  senVal = ardy.analogRead(0);
  println(senVal);
  quick.rate(map(senVal, 70, 10, 1, 0.25)); 
}

void keyReleased(){
  if ( key == 'r' ) {
    if ( recorder.isRecording() ) {
      recorder.endRecord();
    } else {
      recorder.beginRecord();
    }
  }

  if ( key == 's' ){
    recorder.save();
    println("Done saving.");
  }
}

@robotman2412, @kfrajer=== i have tested the code i have put: it works for bluetooth; i cannot say for the arduino part.

We are currently using the arduino ide to interact with our fpga. Now I want my Gui to interact with my fpga using serial communication.

@robotman2412====

see here: https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/20881/processing-android-mode-android-device-bluetooth-arduino/p1

my code is somewhere in the middle of the posts; code posted at the beginning by the guy who asked is not for P5 3XXX or 4 but for 2

Is this related to Arduino? Or are you interacting with some other hardware? Provide some sample code showing what you have tried so far.
