Arduino To Processing Error For Capactive Sensor

Processing Electronics (Arduino, etc.)

Hello,

Welcome to the community!

Try this for Arduino code for testing:

boolean toggle = false;

void setup()                    
  {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  }

void loop()                    
  {  
  long total1 =  271828182;
  long total2 =  314159265;

  if (toggle)
    {  
    Serial.print(0);
    Serial.print(',');
    Serial.println(total1);
    }
  else
    {
    Serial.print(1);
    Serial.print(',');
    Serial.println(total2);      
    }
    
  delay(1000);
  toggle = !toggle;                          
  }

You are sending a long as a String so receive as a String for now; you are converting to an int in your code.

String sensors[] = split(myString, ',');

My processing code (modified yours a bit) was able to receive “sensor number” and “data” and print with:

    sensor1 = int(sensors[0]);
    println(sensor1);
    long data = Long.parseLong(sensors[1]);
    println(data);

I then displayed a circle() to keep it simple and changed color depending on “sensor number”.
