Interface and Application Programming (Week 15)

The assignment for this week was to design an application that would visualize the input received from the input board designed in Week 10. 

I designed a temperature sensor as part of Week 10’s assignment and my experience with the same can be read here.

Since I wasn’t able to visualise the circuit using PySerial I thought of trying to program it using Processing. But no luck here either.

I followed the instruction as listed on AS220 and used the laptop touch pad as the input device to write processing code and visualise the output.

 

 

The Code :

void setup() {

  size(640, 360);

  background(102);

}

void draw() {

  // Call the variableEllipse() method and send it the

  // parameters for the current mouse position

  // and the previous mouse position

  variableRect(mouseX, mouseY, pmouseX, pmouseY);

}

 

void variableRect(int x, int y, int px, int py) {

  float speed = abs(x-px) + abs(y-py);

  stroke(speed);

  rect(x, y, speed, speed);

}
