Panasonic Grid-Eye on Teensy 3.2

This is a guide to use a grid-eye on teensy 3.2 with Arduino, and display data as a heat matrix through Processing.

Installing

Scheme

Installing Arduino IDE & Teensyduino

1. Download the latest version of Arduino IDE here.
2. Download the Teensyduino software here.
3. Load the grid-eye.ino sketch in Arduino.
4. Follow the scheme, and connect your Teensy to your computer.

Arduino IDE should recognize the teensy, to check it out, look under the Menubar > Tools SECTION.

Now, you are able to show data through Arduino serial monitoring. It will probably requires some calibration, so feel free to adapt the code to your needs.

Installing Processing | Associating with Arduino

As the data is quite difficult to interpret on its own (64 values updating too quickly to understand what's happening), I decided to create a minimalist GUI with Processing. The GUI intends to display the data as a heat matrix.

1. Download Processing v2.0 from the official site.
2. Connect Arduino IDE and Processing. Then, follow the steps described here.
3. Load the gui.pde sketch in Processing.
4. You are all set ! Run the sketch and enjoy. 🎉

About

This is a very old project ! Still, just let me know if you had any issues setting up the Grid-Eye with your Teensy.
