Resources and Going Further

Now that you know how to send data from Arduino to Processing and back again (even simultaneously!), you're ready for some seriously cool projects. By hooking together Arduino and Processing, you can do things like visualize sensor data in real-time, or make a glove with flex sensors in the fingers that makes penguins appear on the screen, or a command console from Processing that controls a giant array of LEDs.

Here are a few useful links that you may find useful going forward:
