Example 08 From "Getting Started with Arduino, Second Edition"

Updated and fixed Example 08A processing sketch from this book. I did not touch the arduino code as of yet. I may eventually fully test both pieces to ensure they work together, or update them otherwise.

What is this exactly?

This project originally sets up a lamp that will change colors based on information pulled from an xml or RSS feed.

This book version includes a light sensor and a button to start the process as well as the 3 LEDs for red, green, and blue.

This project and original code are over a decade old, and others have had the same issues I did. This led me to create this repository.

Further

Another idea is to set up the code to work with the original schematic as well, using commented out alternative sections of code.

I hope this helps others out there who wanted to fully complete this project like I did.


Schematics

I have located and included the original schematic for reference:

A well as the one from the book that goes with the above code:

Usage notes

You will need to create the font file in the Processing IDE:

  • copy the font name from the sketch
  • under the "tools" menu click the font tool
  • match a font to the right size and paste the name from the sketch
  • click create
