This is a fun project to run the Processing
creative coding environment on the Raspberry
Pi & PiTFT display.
Processing is an easy way to experiment with
and learn about programming, and the latest
3.0 release can run on the Raspberry Pi.
To use Processing on the Pi download the latest
Linux ARMV6HF build of Processing 3.0.
Then inside the Pi's graphical desktop environment
run the Processing executable.
You can create sketches just like on your
computer and they'll display on a monitor
or television connected to the Pi.
You can even setup a PiTFT to display a Processing
sketch that you developed on your computer.
With Processing's new fullScreen function
your sketch will automatically size itself
to run on the small PiTFT display.
See the full guide linked in the description
for all the details on using Processing with
a PiTFT.
Another new feature in Processing is hardware
control on the Raspberry Pi.
You can control LEDs, read buttons, and talk
to hardware connected to the Raspberry Pi.
This is great for adding interesting new interactivity
to your Processing sketches.
What will you make with Processing on the
Raspberry Pi & PiTFT?
