How to integrate Arduino with Unity¶
JAVASCRIPT¶
- https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/
- Tonejs
- Threejs
- D3
- The Coding Train’s Painting with Pixels - p5.js Tutorial: great channel to learn p5.js
- Example p5 sketch reading from webserial: standalone access to serial port using webserial. NYU ITP’s Lab: Serial Input to P5.js Using the p5.serialport library: great tutorial using p5.serialport. Needs an intermediary between p5 and the Arduino board.
- Mini p5.js programs in under 100 lines of code: very simple programs that achieve pretty cool effects.
RemoteXY¶
- RemoteXY: A neat little service to build GUIs for mobile devices, Supporting: Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, STM32, nRF; Android, iOS; Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB.
