How to Read 2 Packets of Data at Once - MPU6050

Processing Electronics (Arduino, etc.)
1

Hello, I am trying to extend the teapot demo from Jeff Rowberg to be able to show a graphical representation of 2 MPU 6050 sensors instead of just the one. I have modified the Arduino sketch to be able to take in values from both of the sensors and that part works fine as can be seen from the output of the OUTPUT_READABLE portions of the Arduino code. The problem arises when I have to differentiate between the two packets in the teapot demo in processing. Can someone help me in figuring out how to differentiate between the two packets that are sent from the Arduino sketch?

Here is the Arduino Sketch:

Here is the Processing Sketch from the MPU6050 teapot demo that I altered a bit. I really need help starting with the serialEvent() method. I need to be able to assign ch2 to the values from teapotPacket2 from the Arduino sketch. Right now, I have the Arduino sketch only sending out the packet for the first sensor and I have ch2 being set to the same value as ch, which are the values from teapotPacket from the Arduino sketch. Please let me know if you can help me in any way, I can clarify anything else you need me to.

Hi @yodayoshi! Usually when I want to send data from Arduino to Processing or visceversa, and have multiple sensors, I use this simple solution: Add values to each sensor. For example:
If you have 2 sensors (analog), each sensor would send data from 0 to 1023. So you can add 1024 to each other sensor in Arduino to differentiate them. So the first sensor would be from 0-1023, the second from 1024-2047, third from 2048-3071… So in Processing you could know which data belongs to which sensor and substract 1024 to have the original value. I hope this helps you!

please explain how can I do it in my code what parameter I have to change

Hello,

Welcome to the forum.

You should start a separate topic.

Please post your code; a minimal version of it that you require assistance with.

    // split the string at "/"
    String items[] = split(data, '/');
    if (items.length > 1) {

      roll = float(items[0]);
      pitch = float(items[1]);
      yaw = float(items[2]);
    }
  }
}

where and what should I change to get the animation of two MPU6050 at the same time

Hello,

Please format your code:
https://discourse.processing.org/faq#format-your-code

The Processing website has lots of resources that will help display two animations:
https://processing.org/

Are you sending data from 2 Arduinos each with a sensor?
You can use more than one serial port:
https://processing.org/reference/libraries/serial/serialEvent_.html

Are you sending data from 1 Arduino with 2 sensors?
You can double the data you send with yaw, pitch, roll for each sensor.
