Help needed to code videos play with processing by receiving data from Arduino

Processing Electronics (Arduino, etc.)

hello,

and welcome to the forum!

Great to have you here!

Essentially, you have 2 videos.

You load both in setup(). Good. (Not sure, if mp4 are ok, did you test?)

Now to your problem.

In my understanding you need a variable boolean useImageMovie (or whatever name) that indicates what to play.

This:

should be

if (val <= THRESHOLD) { //If the sensor detect object at less 10cm
  sound.stop();
  video.play();
  useImageMovie= true; 
 }

if(useImageMovie) {
  image(video,0,0);
}
else {
  image(sound,0,0);
}

Because, when you say image(video,0,0); in the first if-clause it will only play during the if (val <= THRESHOLD) and not to its end.

More

when video is over, set useImageMovie to false:

useImageMovie = false;

Declaration

declare boolean useImageMovie = false; before setup()

I hope this helps!

Warm regards,

Chrisir
