Hi
does anyone know any good tutorials for processing for the arduino?

Hi
Does anyone know how to have an android device communicate with the arduino? Any good tutorials? Is the android IOIO  a better choice?
I want to push notifications (IE, texts, emails, phone calls, alarms, calanders everts etc. from the my android to my anrduino via bluetooth. With that information I want to be able to control an led.
The main part that I need guidance on is the pushing over the notifications.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi all, i have a question about the map function; why does it not map somethings? In the arduino reference it says

Does not constrain values to within the range, because out-of-range values are sometimes intended and useful. The constrain() function may be used either before or after this function, if limits to the ranges are desired.

Is it random?( does it randomly not map certain values)?
In essence my question is what is the point of having a separate map and constrain function?
Maybe i do not understand exactly what they do; please explain.

Hello again, I really appreciate all your help and  I am sorry that I can not do this by myself.
Just to clear things up, I believe my current problem started once i started the double array. I reread all the corrections and I placed them in.
Here is my error, again

Lcd_screen___keyboard:16: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '=' token
Lcd_screen___keyboard:17: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '=' token

Here is my code corrected and updated

The error highlights ; this two_character_string[0] = c; in the code

i still get the same error

 I was thinking about using a Do... While here to clear the screen at the right time, however how would I tell the arduino to clear the screen when it gets to the last pixel on the the last row? In my code gotoxy is the first pixel...

does not fix it, same problem. I was thinking maybe if I place  LcdClear(); in the loop it would work

UPDATE, putting it in the loop actually causes more problems, the text does not show up at all

i still get the same problem

Update it does not make a difference, does the same thing

ok, thanks keith, when i put that in get another error,

If you are asking if they could be used as inputs and outputs, then yes all you have to do is say if it is an input or output in the void setup, here is more http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Setup

Hi
I have a nokia 5110 LCD display and  I am having a few problems with it. Just for some background I have a PS2 keyboard connected and I am using the PS2 keyboard library. I have two problems
A. After I type up to fill up the screen, the screen does not clear as it is supposed to, instead i the new text starts from the top and writes over the old text (it removes the old text too).
I believe this part of the code is responsible for the clearing

Code:

void LCDClear(void) {
  for (int index = 0 ; index < (LCD_X * LCD_Y / 8) ; index++)
    LcdWrite(LCD_D, 0x00);
   
  gotoXY(0, 0); //After we clear the display, return to the home position
}

Please note none of this code is mine, i am just collecting it from different sources like sparkfun, and arduino's example for Nokia 5110 and the Ps2 library

sounds like a cool project ... you should look into this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10628 or something simmilar

how would i create a 2 element array ? Could you please ellaborate, i am still a noob in coding .

Mr. Coding Badly, nice catch i added the semicolon but now i have a different error, the new error is "to few arguments to function 'void LcdStrin(char *characters)'"
the rest of the errors are 
Lcd_screen___keyboard.cpp: In function 'void loop()':
Lcd_screen___keyboard:154: error: too few arguments to function 'void LcdString(char*)'
Lcd_screen___keyboard:186: error: at this point in file
Lcd_screen___keyboard:208: error: invalid conversion from 'char' to 'char*'
Lcd_screen___keyboard:208: error: initializing argument 1 of 'void LcdString(char*)'
Mr. PaulS, where should i place my libraries than? I always thought you put them there, so far it has not caused me anyproblems
