Hey there space cadets! Today, I want to talk about using Spacebrew for Processing together with an Arduino. Have you ever wanted to use analog and digital readings from an Arduino in your Processing sketch? This is the place to start.
Read MoreAdafruit's Digital Addressable LED Strips are quite versatile - they're flexible, capable of displaying 2 million colors per pixel, and their LEDs can be controlled individually - allowing for countless project possibilities.
In this tutorial, we've inserted the strips into a clear plastic tube to create a thin column of LED lights, and then connect them to JavaScript GUI sliders through Spacebrew.
The LED tube could be used as one "bar" of a digitally controlled bar graph installation, as part of a sculptural feature, or - my favorite - a makeshift light saber. Follow the steps below to make your own!

This tutorial walks you through how to connect a SparkFun Bar Graph Breakout Kit to Spacebrew. Once the kit is built and connected to Spacebrew, you can have any number of interactive projects publish data to it.
Read MoreIn this tutorial we will walk you through how to take an existing Arduino project and make it talk with Spacebrew. We will use an Arduino to connect a photocell sensor to an existing javascript graph example.
This tutorial builds on an example that comes with Arduino software. To access the example within the program, go to File -> Examples -> 04.Communication -> Graph, or view it online here: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Graph.
