For this weeeks assignment we need to write an application that interfaces with an input &/or output device. For this I will use the weeks 10 assinment a Magnetic sensor.

The exact first thing I did was to view al the webpage of Processing .

Once there I found useful following the Getting Started guide. And after this I look around all the recommended books.

From the books I searched my favorite one is Getting Started With Processing from Casey Reas and Ben Fry. You can find it on PDF in here.

This book is easy to use from beginning to end, the time is not enough for me to experiment as much as I would like to but I definitely will continue my learning with this program.

This study made me understand about programming lenguages in a diferent way taking them as families of related languages. It explains that processing is a dialect of a programming language called Java and processing adds a custom freatures related to graphics and interaction. Learning Processing is an entry-level step to programming in other languages and using different software tools.

Next you can see an image of the interfase.

Next I copy images from this wooks which I would like to recal in future uses.

I actualy have fun with Processing is a program that I realy want to ler how to use more.

Now for this assignment what I did was:

Basically what it does is show a small display in which each pixel is colored in a value between 0 and 255. While approaching the magnet with one polarity will be whiter and while the other polarity will put more black and this made according to data sent by the magnetic sensor card so the card programming is unchanged. But the program hello.mag.py has been reimplemented in processing now that this will receive the serial information coming from the magnetic sensor card. This will be working like a Random Magnetic Noice.

Next you can see a video of it working.
