Assignment 1: ARDUINO TO P5 COMMUNICATION
While controlling the potentiometer the ellipse would move across the screen while changing the opacity of it.
P5.js Sketch:
// variable to control x-coordinate
let x = 0;
function setup() {
createCanvas(640, 480);
textSize(18);
}
function draw() {
// sets background
background(255);
stroke(0);
// draws ellipse on canvas
fill(0,255,0,map(x, 0, 1023, 0, 255))
ellipse(map(x, 0, 1023, 0, width), height / 2, 100, 100);
// checks if serial communication has been established
fill(0)
if (!serialActive) {
text("Press Space Bar to select Serial Port", 20, 30);
} else {
text("Connected", 20, 30);
}
}
// sets up serial connection
function keyPressed() {
if (key == " ") {
// important to have in order to start the serial connection!!
setUpSerial();
}
}
// This function will be called by the web-serial library
// with each new *line* of data. The serial library reads
// the data until the newline and then gives it to us through
// this callback function
function readSerial(data) {
////////////////////////////////////
//READ FROM ARDUINO HERE
////////////////////////////////////
if (data != null) {
x = int(trim(data));
}
}

Arduino Sketch:
void setup() {
// Start serial communication so we can send data
// over the USB connection to our p5js sketch
Serial.begin(9600);
// We'll use the builtin LED as a status output..
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// gets sensor reading
int sensor = analogRead(A0);
delay(5);
// indicates data transfer
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
// sends data to p5
Serial.println(sensor);
// indicates data transfer
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);

Brightness of the LED changes when pressing the UP and DOWN key buttons
