Assignment 5.4

I set up the next sketches to light up an led when I moused over the corresponding box in processor. The arduino code was set up to be easily customizable for a different amount of LEDs (might come in handy later)

Arduino Code

#define LEDCOUNT 4
const int led[LEDCOUNT] = {12, 11, 10, 9};

void setup() {
  // set led pins to output
  for(int i = 0; i < LEDCOUNT; i++) {
    pinMode(led[i], OUTPUT);    
  } 
  Serial.begin(9600);              // begin serial communication at 9600 bps
}

void loop() 
{ 
  if (Serial.read() == 4) {      //if no button pressed
     for(int i = 0; i < LEDCOUNT; i++) {
        digitalWrite(led[i], LOW);    
     }
  }
  else {
    digitalWrite(led[Serial.read()], HIGH);
  }
}
The processing code is a little messier than I like but unfortunately the library lacks the abstraction classes needed to simplify most of the code (ie a class for rectangles, and automated boundary checking function, etc)

Processing Code

import processing.serial.*;

Serial serPort;  // Create object from Serial class
byte flagOn = 0;  // flag set to 1 if any boxes are moused over and 0 otherwise

void setup() 
{
  background(255); //set bg to white
  fill(0);          //set fill to black
  size(400, 400);    //set size to 400 x 400
  serPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[0], 9600);  //create new serial port instance
}

void draw() {
  //test if mouse is in boundaries of rectangle 1
  if ((mouseX >= 50) && (mouseX <= 150) && (mouseY >= 50) && (mouseY <= 150)) {  
                                  // If mouse is over square,
    fill(204);                    // change color and
    serPort.write(0);             // write 0 to serial port
    flagOn = 1;                   //set flag to 1
  } 
  rect(50, 50, 100, 100);         // Draw a square
  fill(0);                        //reset fill color to black
  
  //rectangle 2
  if ((mouseX >= 50) && (mouseX <= 150) && (mouseY >= 250) && (mouseY <= 350)) {  
    fill(204);                 
    serPort.write(1);
    flagOn = 1;    
  } 
  rect(50, 250, 100, 100);
  fill(0);
 
   //rectangle 3
  if ((mouseX >= 250) && (mouseX <= 350) && (mouseY >= 50) && (mouseY <= 150)) {  
    fill(204);                   
    serPort.write(2);
    flagOn = 1;    
  } 
  rect(250, 50, 100, 100);
  fill(0);
  
  //rectangle 4
  if ((mouseX >= 250) && (mouseX <= 350) && (mouseY >= 250) && (mouseY <= 350)) {  
    fill(204);                   
    serPort.write(3);
    flagOn = 1;    
  } 
  if (flagOn == 0) {
    serPort.write(4);
  }
  rect(250, 250, 100, 100);
  fill(0);
  flagOn = 0;
}
