I need help asap please
Hello, I am trying to get a mp4 video to play in processing whenever motion is detected in Arduino and then I need it to pause when motion ends. I am a student and I have been trying for 10 hours already. Direct answers would be greatly appreciated I am not an expert in code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Arduino Code
int ledPin = 13; // choose the pin for the LED
int inputPin = 2; // choose the input pin (for PIR sensor)
int pirState = LOW; // we start, assuming no motion detected
int val = 0; // variable for reading the pin status
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // declare LED as output
pinMode(inputPin, INPUT); // declare sensor as input
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
val = digitalRead(inputPin); // read input value
if (val == HIGH) { // check if the input is HIGH
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED ON
if (pirState == LOW) {
// we have just turned on
Serial.println("Motion detected!");
// We only want to print on the output change, not state
pirState = HIGH;
}
} else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn LED OFF
if (pirState == HIGH) {
// we have just turned of
Serial.println("Motion ended!");
// We only want to print on the output change, not state
pirState = LOW;
}
}
}
Processing Code
import processing.video.*;
import processing.serial.Serial;
static final int PORT_INDEX = 0, BAUDS = 9600;
String myString;
Movie video;
void setup() {
size(640,640);
//frameRate(60);
video = new Movie(this,"jimi.mp4");
video.loop();
noLoop();
final String[] ports = Serial.list();
printArray(ports);
new Serial(this, ports[3], BAUDS).bufferUntil(ENTER);
}
void draw() {
background(0);
image(video,0,0);
//frameRate(30);
println(myString);
}
void serialEvent(final Serial s) {
myString = s.readString().trim();
//redraw = true;
if (myString.equals("Motion detected!")) {
video.stop();
}
}
void movieEvent(Movie video) {
[video.read](https://video.read/)();
}
