/* * Graph * * A simple example of communication from the Arduino board to the computer: * the value of analog input 0 is printed. We call this "serial" * communication because the connection appears to both the Arduino and the * computer as an old-fashioned serial port, even though it may actually use * a USB cable. * * You can use the Arduino serial monitor to view the sent data, or it can * be read by Processing, Flash, PD, Max/MSP, etc. The Processing code * below graphs the data received so you can see the value of the analog * input changing over time. * * http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Graph */ void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { Serial.println(analogRead(0)); delay(100); } /* Processing code for this example // Graph // by David A.
