Switch Example from Class

Resistive Sensor Example from Class

Arduino code:
int sensorPin = A2;
int sensorValue;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(A2, INPUT);
digitalWrite(A2,HIGH);
}

void loop()
{
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(10);
}

Processing Code

Hannah Perner-Wilson’s library of textile sensors

Capacitive Sensor Example from Class

Download and install Paul Badger’s Capacitive Sensing Library and put it in the libraries folder in your Arduino sketchbook.

Arduino code:
#include <CapSense.h>

CapSense   mySensor = CapSense(11,10);        // 10M resistor between pins 11 & 10, pin 10 is sensor pin
long start;
long sensorValue;

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

void loop()
{
start = millis();
sensorValue =  mySensor.capSense(30);

Serial.println(sensorValue);                  // print sensor output
delay(10);                             // arbitrary delay to limit data to serial port
}

Processing Code (same as for resistive sensing)
