Objective

This tutorial will teach you using the Microduino V1 module to control the movement of a smile face in Processing.

Equipment

• Microduino-Core
• Microduino-FT232R

Microduino-V1

• Other equipment
  • USB cable one

Schematic

Use Microduino-V1 to control

Program

Debug

Step 1: Set up hardware system, as follows:

Step 2: Explain the code:

This example needs two parts code, one is Processing and the other is Microduino.

Microduino:

//Check if which button was pressed, and send the result to Processing.

 if(button<40)
   key_up=2;
 else if(button>50&&button<100)
   key_up=4;
 else if(button>138&&button<141)
   key_up=1;
 else if(button>358&&button<361)
   key_up=3;
 else if(button>228&&button<231)
   key_up=5;

Processing:

//Get the first serial port data, // is always my Arduino, so I open Serial.list()[0]. // Open whatever port is the one you're using.

 myPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[0], 9600);
 myPort.bufferUntil('\n'); // Trigger a SerialEvent on new line

//Use the data the Microduino sent to control the movement of smile face.

 if (val != null) {
   val = trim(val);
   println(val);
   buttonValue=Integer.parseInt(val);
   switch(buttonValue) {
   case 1:
     yPos++;
     break;
   case 2:
     xPos--;
     break;
   case 3:
     xPos=400;
     yPos=200;
     break;
   case 4:
     xPos++;
     break;
   case 5:
     yPos--;  
     break;
   default :
   }
   image(face, xPos, yPos);
 }

Step 3: Compile the code and download it.

Step 4: After running, put Microduino V1's button, observe the smile face's movement.

Result

You can use the button to control the smile face, as follows:
