Arduino compiling error on werkstatt stem lesson (processing code)

Trying to follow along with a moog stem project to view PWM using arduino and the code they provided isn’t compiling. https://www.werkstattworkshop.com/education/lessons/vcosci2

When compiling the waveshape.pde file in the arduino IDE it throws an error on the code line “import cc.arduino.*;” that says:

exit status 1 ‘import’ does not name a type

As far as I can tell from the authors notes this line of code imports a library.

Thanks for taking a look.

.pde files run in Processing on the PC/laptop.

It appears that this Processing sketch is written to run with a Arduino programmed with the Firmata software.

You need to

  1. Install processing
  2. Download Firmata and upload it to your Arduino
  3. Run the .pde file in Processing.
