i am currently studying 3rd year CSE and have little to no background in electronics but i have suddenly taken an interest in robotics i just started using arduino and its exciting. i got a bit of understanding of to code it (i know c and java). unfortunately i am lost when it comes to interfacing it with anything else other than arduino software. my teacher gave me a project to do as a begineer.
MY QUESTION: i was told to send a number (or sequence of numbers) to the arduino board. the board should blink the pin 13 LED (i know how to do this part) when it receives a number. then it should divide the number by two and send the result back to computer. here the computer must use "processing tool" to graph the number. 1. any help/hints are appreciated. 2. any idea on what this "processing tool" is actually called? all i was told was it was a software to graph numbers. 3. how to take output from arduino into another program as input?
thanks in advance
