Week 7 Lab

Two-Way (Duplex) Serial Communication Using An Arduino and P5.js

This lab was pretty simple to follow but I ran into small errors throughout the way. Since I was using the on board accelerometer I had to modify the startup on the Adrduino:

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

    // for on board arduino accelermeter 
    while (!Serial) {
        ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
    }
    if (!IMU.begin()) {
        Serial.println("Failed to initialize IMU!");
        while (true); // halt program
    }
    Serial.println("IMU initialized!");

    // configure the digital input:
    pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLDOWN);

    while (Serial.available() <= 0) {
        Serial.println("hello"); 
        delay(300);              
    }
}

I also was running into issues connecting to the localhost and it was not connecting.

I don’t think I figured this out quite yet. I still had issues that I had yet to debug and will have questions in class about.

here is my quiz from the week.
