butterflUI: Open Source Graphical User Interface Library for Arduino in Processing

butterflUI is Open Source Graphical User Interface Library for Arduino in Processing, Control and Monitoring for Physical Computing.

The subject of physical computing, especially in the field of robotics, is a fascinating area that has already begun its triumphant in universities, schools and hobby applications and is developing with impressive speed. It is highly interesting that Pyhsical Computing and Robotics, more than any other area, can merge many different areas (engineering, design, psychology, biology and many other areas).

Processing on desktop vs Processing for Android

It's the same code (from last post, Processing example: curve()) run on Android for Processing.

Run on Android device, Nexus One.

Processing 2: Create sketch video with Movie Maker

Processing 2 build-in with Movie Maker function, you can easy create video for your sketch. The tool creates QuickTime movie from a sequence of images.

To run Movie Maker, click Processing menu Tools > Movie Maker.

Processing's Movie Maker

Video created with Processing 2 Movie Maker from images saved in last example "Capture images of sketch with saveFrame()".

Processing 2.0.2 is available now

Processing updated 2.0.2. Visit: https://processing.org/download/ to download.

Processing 2.0 released

The Processing 2.0 release focuses on faster graphics, new infrastructure for working with data, and enhanced video playback and capture. It also expands the potential of the programming environment. The new Modes feature allows other programming systems, such as JavaScript and Android, to be easily used from within the development environment. The new Contributions Manager makes it simple to distribute and install extensions developed by the community. The P2D and P3D renderers are now built using modern OpenGL, and programs can now utilize custom GLSL shaders.

Hello Processing for Android

To start Processing for Android, refer to the posts in my another blog, Android-er.

• Download and install Processing software
• Setup Processing for Android development
• Hello World of Processing for Android

Voltmeter Software Application using Arduino to Read Voltages

An Arduino Uno is used as a 4 channel voltmeter. The voltmeter readings and graphs are displayed in a software application on the computer. The computer software is written in the Processing language so should run on Windows, Linux and Mac.

Processing + Android

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production.

• Free to download and open source
• Interactive programs using 2D, 3D or PDF output
• OpenGL integration for accelerated 3D
• For GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows
• Projects run online or as double-clickable applications
• Over 100 libraries extend the software into sound, video, computer vision, and more...
• Well documented, with many books available

Processing for Android project is aim to make it foolishly easy to create Android apps using the Processing API. Once you have Processing on your machine (and the Android developer tools), you can simply write a line of code, hit Run (Ctrl-R or Cmd-R), and have your sketch show up in the emulator as a working Android app. Select Run on Device (Ctrl-Shift-R or Cmd-Shift-R) to have it run on an Android device that you have plugged into your machine. That's good stuff!

Arduino and Processing

Processing is an open source language/ development tool for writing programs in other computers. Useful when you want those other computers to "talk" with an Arduino, for instance to display or save some data collected by the Arduino.

Arduino comes with some basic examples for communicating with Processing (in Examples > Communication). These are useful for when you want to write both Arduino and Processing programs and have them talk to each other. This works best for communicating simple information.
