What is the code from the light sensor to control my waveform?

Processing Electronics (Arduino, etc.)
1

Hi, I’m having difficulties in reaching my goal, which is with the Arduino Esplora, when I point more light to the light sensor my waveform in the processing increases and when the sensor receives less this waveform disappears. However, with these codes I got, that doesn’t happen. What it does is when the light sensor receives more or less light, the volume of the music that is playing increases and decreases respectively. Can someone help me resolve this situation? Thanks

Hello,

You received data (lightAmp is 0 to 1024) from the Arduino and mapped it to 0 to 255 but you are not using the variable rms_scaled anywhere in your code.

This is where you need to scale the amplitude of the waveform.data:

Instead of above consider multiplying waveform.data[i] with rms_scaled.

You are also mapping lightAmp and using it to control your volume elsewhere in the provided code.

You need to understand what each element of your code is doing and make it happen.

It is doing exactly what you coded it to do.
