ControlP5 library vs Serial library

Click the icon below:


Purpose of the serial library:
The purpose of the serial library is to connect Processing to an external microcontroller. In my Processing sketch we used the serial library to read the data off of an LM35DZ temperature sensor. Without the serial library Processing would be unable to read the data from the Arduino.

Purpose of the controlP5 library:
The purpose of the controlP5 library is to allow the user to interact with the Processing serial/output screen. The user can use dials, switches, buttons and sliders to manipulate the output on Processing's serial.
