I made it to control my robotic arm originally. However, it's bad looking, so I used wii nunckuk instead.

Yesterday, I was thinking how I can do to simply model hand motion and display in computer screen. I am not good at 3D painting, so I used RGB cube that I saw some people used it to demonstrate some programs. You can also find the processing code from the above link.
In this simple project, I used two potentiometers to control two axises. I am sorry that I don't have any idea to use the flex sensor, but I pasted it before, so I did not take it out.
Here is the code in arduino board:
int val_1; //flex sensor int val_2; //middle potentiometer int val_3; //bottom potentiometer void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { val_1=analogRead(0); val_2=analogRead(1); val_3=analogRead(2); val_2=map(val_2,340,1023,0,360); val_3=map(val_3,0,1023,640,0); To2bytes(val_2); To2bytes(val_3); /* Serial.print(val_1); Serial.print("\t"); Serial.print(val_2); Serial.print("\t"); Serial.println(val_3); */ delay(200); } void To2bytes(unsigned int inX){ byte H_Byte; byte L_Byte; // int a=B01111111 H_Byte=inX>>8; L_Byte=(inX%256); Serial.print(H_Byte,BYTE); Serial.print(L_Byte,BYTE); }
And I only add some codes in RGB cube code.
In void setup
println(Serial.list());// List all the available serial ports myPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[1], 9600); //You have to import serial class before. //import processing.serial.*; //Serial myPort; // The serial port
In void draw()
int[] inByte = new int[4]; while (myPort.available() == 4) { inByte[0]= myPort.read(); inByte[1]= myPort.read(); inByte[2]= myPort.read(); inByte[3]= myPort.read(); inY=(inByte[0]<<8)+inByte[1]; inX=(inByte[2]<<8)+inByte[3]; print("X" +inX); print("\t"); println("Y" +inY); }
