Project 4 - Programming ALMOST Done!

After hours of tedious programming trying to communicate arduino with processing I have finally succeeded in my mission. This aspect was the main feature of our project because without it, the flex sensors would be absolutely useless. I found out that there is a huge different in arduino between the ports A0 and 0, including A5 and 5. When i was using analogRead to record the values, it was generating a string that was vertical in the arduino serial console. This did not coincide with my processing code because my processing code was looking for a string that had a horizontal structure similar to this: xxx,yyy. This is why I could not convert the string into 2 int values within processing. I feel as though i have a much broader understanding of how programs talk with each other  Before this project I didn't even think it was possible to do something like this. Using these values from the flex sensor we can now feed them into a 3d pixel program that I have altered. By doing this I hope that I can change the intensity of the 3D illusion. The code is based on color intensity and vertexes. If I can find a good use for the variables I can convert the texture of surfaces onto the video which will give us a point of view of the city from the materials that are put together to make it. I think this is a great idea and I think it will be easily done from this point onwards. All we need to worry about now is the physical visual presentation rather than the video side of the project.
