Lab: Two-Way (Duplex) Serial Communication Using An Arduino and P5.js
Sending data from multiple sensors to a program in P5.js
​
In this lab, the concept of using multiple sensors: and in this case an accelerometer, has actually been used in the first assignment of doing the 'invisible piano' glove.
​
Since my accelerometer could not be attached to the breadboard directly, I soldered it to the x, y, z, ground, voltage output with wires; I accidentally dropped some hot spool onto the board, which eventually resulted some instabilities.
In the Serial Monitor it still looked fine. However, when I started to move it, the readings started to move randomly, rapidly. Sometimes it even dropped to 0-10, but rarely.
​
The circuit:
The next part is the communication with P5.
​
After mapping the number of the reading, the outcome seemed controllable; or is it?
