Convert Processing code to Arduino???

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Hi.

I want to convert the code (below) from Processing into Arduino but I am getting errors with the syntax, basically what I want to do is to get a vibration motor to start, reach maximum speed and slow down again in the shape of a curve. I have it working in processing (using the Arduino Lib) but I would like to have it working also in the Arduino IDE as I want to disconnect the arduino from the computer...any help will be appreciated ...thanks in advance...

int xspacing = 32;   // How far apart should each horizontal location be spaced
int w;              // Width of entire wave
float theta = 0.0;  // Start angle at 0
float dx;  // Value for incrementing X, a function of period and xspacing
float[] yvalues;  // Using an array to store height values for the wave

void setup() {
  w = 320;
  dx = 0.40212387;
  yvalues = new float[w/xspacing];

}

void loop() {
  background(0);
  Generatewave();
}

void Generatewave() {
  // Increment theta (try different values for 'angular velocity' here
  theta += 0.002;
  // For every x value, calculate a y value with sine function
  float x = theta;
  for (int i = 0; i < yvalues.length; i++) {
    yvalues[i] = sin(x)*10.0; 
     println(yvalues[i]);
    x+=dx;
  }
}

I want to convert the code (below) from Processing into Arduino

If instead you say "I want to convert the code (below) from Processing into C/C++", the whole thing becomes much easier.

e.g. not float[] yvalues; 
but float yvalues [someConstantSize];

but I am getting errors with the syntax

Share them, you greedy pig! :slight_smile:

  background(0);

Your Arduino has something to paint the background color on?

     println(yvalues[i]);

Where are you trying to print to? The Serial Monitor? That requires sending data to the serial port, using the Serial instance.

@AWOL I made that change but when I verify the code below I am now getting the following error: incompatible types in assignment of 'float*' to 'float [10]'

**@PaulS Sorry,I was not being greedy:) and well spotted, I did leave some remnants of Java behind:)...

int xspacing = 32;   // How far apart should each horizontal location be spaced
int w;              // Width of entire wave
float theta = 0.0;  // Start angle at 0
float dx;  // Value for incrementing X, a function of period and xspacing
//float[] yvalues;  // Using an array to store height values for the wave
float yvalues [10];  

void setup() {
  w = 320;
  dx = 0.40212387;
  yvalues = new float[10];
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  Generatewave();
}

void Generatewave() {
  // Increment theta (try different values for 'angular velocity' here
  theta += 0.002;
  // For every x value, calculate a y value with sine function
  float x = theta;
  for (int i = 0; i < yvalues.length; i++) {
    yvalues[i] = sin(x)*10.0; 
    Serial.println(yvalues[i]);
    x+=dx;
  }
}

yvalues = new float[10];

If you already declared a size for the array, you don't need/want "new", so delete this line
