Create a simple signle-channel controller that would allow you to change one parameter in a Processing program by applying a value received from ESP32 via serial communication. You can use any sensor to generate that value.
Tools: Arduino, Processing, photocell sensor
I decided to make a day and night shifting simulation pattern, so after testing sensors I chose the photocell. It is a two feet sensor so after reading the instruction on its website I connected one side to power and other side to an analog pin, and with a 10k resistor to from that analog pin to ground.
The code are from the class. First I checked the pin number I am using on the ESP32, and change that number in line 2. After that the code works well. The numbers from 0 to 4095 appears just right in the serial monitor.
At the beginning I downloaded various apps using LIDAR to experiment with different inputs and outputs. There are 3Dscanner using rear camera to create low poly model and ScandyPro using front camera to create delicate model. After comparing and analyzing I chose the latter for its intimacy.
I created large amount of models using my face, hands and other body parts and also tried to render them in different modes like monochrome, wireframes and normals.
