Serial / Libraries

Overview

Processing can communicate with a Microcontroller (like an Arduino) over a serial connection.

Processing >>>> Microcontroller

Microcontroller >>>> Processing

Processing can SEND control signals to the Microcontroller (ex: button to turn on LED)…behaving as a Control Interface

Processing can RECEIVE data from a Microcontroller (ex: receive sensor data from an MCU and display it as graphic on the PC)…behaving as a Data Visualization Display
