    Week 14 reflections.

    This assignment I did it within the FabChallenge IV. The network was the connection between an ArduinoA-Processing-ArduinoB. We gather data from an Arduino vibration sensor that is printing the data in the serial monitor, we connected this Arduino to Processing using the serial monitor, we post-process the data in a noise function draw. After that, we connected trough te processing both Arduinos, the one with the sensor and the one that is connected to the plotter machine.

    We constrain the draw to give time to the processing to generate a gcode with the XY coordinates from the draw and we send them in “real time” to the plotter to make a pattern on a fabric.

    One of the most interesting things is the connection between the two arduinos troug the processing. The first Arduino only need a println command to send the data to the processing even the language are not the same, but with the serial monitor we manage to gather the data. In the second case, we spent more time trying to figure out the way to send the data from the processing to the plotter Arduino because we need to transform the data to be readable to the Arduino.
