TSL 13 Scolor Scanner

Arduino code to send data to Processing program: (Processing code follows Arduino code)

/*

  Sending three pieces of data - the original data, a weighted average and the standard deviation,
  deliminated by a header "A", "B", "C" at the beginning and a line break at the end

  based on stuff from Melvin Ochsmann and Tom Igoe. 
  reworked a bit for Sensor Workshop class by Jamie Allen, 2007

//Processing Code:

/* This is a set of statistics test for your sensor data It's the same as the other data viewers on this end, but it expects three values: 1) red value 2) green value 3) blue value

It then graphs these values (with FAKE hysteresis)

This program takes raw bytes from the serial port that are seperated by headers "A", "B", etc. at 9600 baud and graphs them.

Based on Tom Igoe's & Melvin Ochsmann's work done up for sensor workshop, Jamie Allen, 2007 slightly modified by christopher kucinski for a color scanner April 2007
