It’s time to upload the Arduino sketch for the Terrific Tilt Switch. Example 18-1 takes information from the tilt switch and sends it to the Arduino IDE (integrated development environment) Serial Monitor, displaying a series of the characters “H” and “L” with each rotation of the tilt switch. Did you notice that parts of the program look like…

The characters “L” and “H” are an interesting way to represent the information you get when the pushbutton turns on and off. But if we really want to see the “magic” of the pushbutton, we’ll need to use a graphical software language called Processing. Processing software allows digital information (actually, just about any kind of information)…
