How to connect Flash to external sensors using Processing and an Arduino board
In the example, we use an Arduino board to receive analog signals from 3 sensors, and send them to the computer’s serial port.
A simple Processing application listens to the serial port, and creates an XML socket where it sends the signals it receives.
The Flash application listens to the XML socket created in Processing, and when an event occurs, a function is launched to process the received data.
Below are example snippets for each part of the solution:
