i am new to this forum and the whole thing with Processing. I have a specific question to ask and thanks a lot for your time and thoughts!
How can i connect my Arduino with Ethernet Shield, getting temperature values from a sensor so they can be seen to a processing script? In a straight Arduino script, one gets the value, connects from the ethernet shield to a server and does what one likes. I have accomplished that.
In my case i want Arduino to just run the script of reading an analog input value from the sensor. Is it possible?
I have made the serial connection work and read the values alright through the usb, but with ethernet shield? How can i get the value that arduino reads WITHOUT USB/Serial connection?
ps. i am using WAMP server etc, Windows 7
I am trying the UDP connection script example for both arduino and processing from http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/UDPSendReceiveString, but
1)i ain't sure if that's what i need,
2)i have excluded from firewall ports 6000, 8888 for my tests and have put the IP address of my Arduino at the Arduino script and "localhost" at the Processing script
THE CODE COPIED FOR BETTER USE HERE
/*
UDPSendReceive.pde:
This sketch receives UDP message strings, prints them to the serial port
and sends an "acknowledge" string back to the sender
A Processing sketch is included at the end of file that can be used to send
and received messages for testing with a computer.
