The computer language that we will be using in the exhibit(s) is Processing. It is freely available and can be installed on PC, Mac or Linux computers. It has a very good online documentation. A version of the Processing language is also used by our microcontroller hardware (Arduino), so people who have signed up both as programmers and as hardware specialists should make sure to learn as much as possible about programming in Processing. It is also a good language for doing graphical or artistic things.

Last Wednesday someone requested the updated code from the text book for Arduino/Processing communication. We had such a horrible time attempting to update some of the code in the text book, and never completely managed to make it run smoothly. A better route may be to check out some of the simple examples on processing.org, as there is a section that deals explicitly with Arduino communication. The majority of these examples include the needed information for both the arduino and processing.
