Phidget Servo motor output via Processing
I'm currently preparing for a short piece of processing tutoring in the Bachelor of Architecture course, commencing tomorrow. The course is a 1st year construction subject, in which the year group is designing modular structures from found objects (read; whatever they can find in large amounts at Reverse Garbage), with a 12-15 unsuspecting students are going to be shown the slippery slope that is processing, all in the aim of augmenting small construction projects with responsive elements.

simple metro
For students in the 11217 introduction to construction class;
Here is an example of a simple metronome counter which moves a line up and down a sketch window over a period of time. You should be able to follow the comments included to see how you might plug your sensors and motors into this sketch to easily arrange for your motors to move a) automatically left/right over a period of time and b) increasing in intensity based on a reading from your slider/light/proximity sensors.
