nodeToProcessing.js

A serial-to-node-to-Processing example using node.js, node-serialport.

To use this, you should read up on node.js

To install it:

• make sure you've installed node.js
• either clone the project in git or download it
• from the command line,change directories to the directory where you downloaded the project

Enter the following:

npm install 

You should end up with a new directory called node_modules, which will include socket.io, node-serialport, and express.js.

Install ADXK326.ino onto an Arduino Uno or Leonardo or Mega that has an ADXL326 acclerometer breakout board from Adafruit attached.

To run the server, enter:

node nodeToProcessing.js

Then open jsonProcessing.pde in Processing 2.0 or later, and run it. You should get a nice scatter graph of the X and Y coordinates from the acceleromter.
