Week 10: Arduino-P5 exercises (Youssef-Arslan)

Exercise 1: Make something that uses only one sensor on Arduino and makes the ellipse in p5 move on the horizontal axis, in the middle of the screen, and nothing on Arduino is controlled by p5.

P5 link: https://editor.p5js.org/Arslan108/sketches/DVc3r1-YY Arduino script:

// defines pins numbers
const int trigPin = 9;
const int echoPin = 10;
// const int ledPin = 3;
// int duty = 10;
// defines variables
long duration;
int distance;
void setup() {
  pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the trigPin as an Output
  // pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the trigPin as an Output
  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // Sets the echoPin as an Input
  Serial.begin(9600); // Starts the serial communication
}
void loop() {
  // Clears the trigPin
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(2);
  // Sets the trigPin on HIGH state for 10 micro seconds
  digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(10);
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  // Reads the echoPin, returns the sound wave travel time in microseconds
  
  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
  // Calculating the distance
  distance = duration * 0.034 / 2;
  // Prints the distance on the Serial Monitor * 0.034 / 2
  // analogWrite(ledPin, duty);
  Serial.println(distance);
  delay(150);
}

The Ball class defines the properties and methods for the ball, including its position, velocity, and radius. The update() method updates the ball’s horizontal position and velocity according to the gravity, bounce factor, and the sensor value that is taken from the ultrasonic distance sensor. The show() method is responsible for displaying the ball on the canvas.

Exercise2: Make something that controls the LED brightness from p5

P5 link: https://editor.p5js.org/Arslan108/sketches/rSn6NmdHy. Arduino script:

int ledPin = 3;


void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  

}

void loop() {
  while (Serial.available()) {
    // digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // led on while receiving data

    int duty = Serial.parseInt();
    if (Serial.read() == '\n') {
      analogWrite(ledPin, duty);
    }
 

}
}

The code allows the control the intensity of the light emitted by the LED depending on the Y coordinate of the mouse. The higher the Y-coordinate is the brighter the LED is.

Exercise 3: Make something that controls the LED brightness from p5.

P5 link: https://editor.p5js.org/Arslan108/sketches/yhLl1hYsD. Arduino script:

// defines pins numbers
const int trigPin = 9;
const int echoPin = 10;
const int ledPin = 4;
// int duty = 10;
// defines variables
long duration;
int distance;
void setup() {
  pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the trigPin as an Output
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the trigPin as an Output
  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // Sets the echoPin as an Input
  Serial.begin(9600); // Starts the serial communication
}
void loop() {
  // Clears the trigPin
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(2);
  // Sets the trigPin on HIGH state for 10 micro seconds
  digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(10);
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  // Reads the echoPin, returns the sound wave travel time in microseconds
  
  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
  // Calculating the distance
  distance = duration * 0.034 / 2;
  // Prints the distance on the Serial Monitor * 0.034 / 2
  int duty = Serial.parseInt();
    if (Serial.read() == '\n') {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, duty);
    }
  Serial.println(distance);
  delay(150);
  // digitalWrite(ledPin, low);
}

We have kept the code form exercise 1 but we have added the lines that send the light up order to the LED, every time the ellipse get in contact with the right or the left borders of the canvas.

let sendToArduino = light + "\n";
writeSerial(sendToArduino);
light = 0;
