Today in class we talked about adding a graphic to go along with our thermistor project. The graph is made to support the readings of the thermistor and display a thermometer and a line graph. We are still using Arduino programming but are integrating it into Processing. Processing has its own code to display the graphics but relies on the Arduino code to take the readings from the Arduino and also convert the raw data to Celsius. The two programs work together very well seeing as they both use c++ code and Arduino was somewhat based off of Processing. My teacher pointed our class to pscmpf's blog which has both the Arduino and Processing code needed to achieve this output, however in the blog he uses a TO-92 instead of a thermistor but we are keeping the thermistor. The code on his site is mostly correct but some changes will need to be made. I am in the process of changing the code. A video explaining everything along with a blog post consisting of helpful links and the code I used will be posted on Sunday November 20th.
The output we are trying to achieve:
A site that is very helpful for setting up Processing is:

Anything that I post and requires a download (ie. Word Document, HTML and others) will be here:

*Note, I will try and post something like this on the days where I have computers class. You can expect a post about every other day and a detailed video with helpful links and code every Sunday.
