so i got a grant from my school to do a project involving arduino, midi, and some fsrs. being a music major, i'm not too familiar with arduino yet so i could use some help with the code. the premise here is there are 12 fsrs on a pair of gloves (1 on each of the ten fingers and 1 at the base of each palm). these fsrs are hooked up to a arduino mega with a sparkfun midi shield mounted on it. then, using 4 pairs of infrared emitters and receivers, i'm going to have these positioned by the feet so that when a particular beam is broken, the octave of the notes in the hands switches, either up or down. (no beams being broken is the middle c octave, the two pairs of ir detectors to the right make the octaves go up and the 2 left pair go down). so i have a couple of codes that i've found, one for the shield on sparkfun and the other is a combination of a code i found online and stuff from my arduino cookbook. any help would be appreciated, especially with changing octaves with the emitter/receivers!

i only started with one fsr here to testing, but there should eventually be 12.

thanks guys.

i need to make an if statement in processing that says something along the lines of, if timer ends + cup fsr activated, play good video, if timer ends + cup fsr not activated, play bad video. i just don't know how i would go about doing that.

any suggestions then?

The premise here is, if you hit a golf ball, a FSR on the head of the club starts a timer. If within say, 5 seconds, FSR in the cup does not register the ball has gone in it, a video will play telling you "Keep practicing!", ect. I'm having a bit of trouble with the code, especially on the processing side. Any help would be appreciated.

Arduino

Code:

const int clubPin = A0;     
const int cupPin = A1; 

void setup()
{
   Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
   int valclub = map(analogRead(clubPin), 0, 1023, 0, 255);
   Serial.println(valclub);
   delay(10);
   int valcup = map(analogRead(cupPin), 0, 1023, 0, 255);
   Serial.println(valcup);
   delay(10);
}

Processing

Code:

import processing.serial.*;
import processing.video.*;
 
float clubValue = 0;        // red value
float cupValue = 0;      // green value

  }
  }
  }
 

I'm working off a color mixing arduino -> processing sketch so thats why the bottom is redvalues and greenvalues, i have changed these to clubvalues and cup values. whenever the fsr registers a value over 1, that should start or stop the timer. i'm kind of using it as a switch here and not an actual analog sensor. i tried changing the values from 0/1023 to 0/1 in processing, but you need to be pressing it at the hardness threshold to register a 1, so i just left it. thanks guys.
