Hello Processing community. I am working with multiple Windows and with multiple Serials. I been trying to separate my 2 serial data into 2 different Windows (not 1 windows with multiple panes) in processing. Hopefully I don’t sound to confusing. but I been breaking my head over this. I have gotten so many response with different ideas, but because I am not that good in java I am just not getting it.
here is my code, I have broken everything down with for simplicity.
/*
==========> Arduino Code Simple Analog Code For Now <=============
*/
// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
// read the input on analog pin 0:
int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
// print out the value you read:
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(1); // delay in between reads for stability
}
/*
==========> Processing Code <=============
*/
/* Device will be used for configuration and Diagnostics
Configurtion will display the device Status and Test of each Fuctions of sensors and Data Ports
Diagnostics will display the actual data being processed in real time
*/
