XBee API Library for Processing

Rob Faludi and I are working on a Processing library for Digi’s XBee Series 1 radios. Direct from Rob’s blog:

The library currently facilitates receiving single sample I/O packets in API mode, and returns an object that contains the analog values, digital values, sender’s 16-bit address and RSSI value. The next tasks will be to receive regular RX frames, issue AT commands and receive responses, issue TX frames and receive responses to those. We’d also like to support the XBee Series 2 radios, which have a similar API structure.

Here’s where you can download and learn about the library.

ITP Shows

The ITP Show finished up with some nice write-ups on the internets: ny times blog and MAKE.

About a week or so before the ITP show, my Big Screens class had their own show at the IAC Building on their rather large video wall. I’m hoping we set the world record for largest Processing sketch ever. Some photos (video coming soon):

This, as far as I know, was the first public use of the Most Pixels Ever library, which admittedly needs quite a bit of work still.
