About the ControlP5 library

One of the most useful libraries in Processing is the ControlP5 library, a library that allows the addition of various control elements (sliders, buttons, toolbars etc) in a project.

The library, written by Andreas Schegel, is by far the best interface library available in Processing at this point.

Here is the link: http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/index.php

While this library has and does everything you need, I could not find any tutorials on this. The only solution was to go through the examples Andreas has put on his website, which, don’t get me wrong, are very useful, but it did take me a while to figure out how everything works.

Using this library, I have created a user interface that allows us to use a sketch to create and modify records on a MySQL table.

I’m thinking at some point of putting together a tutorial on how to use this library together with MySQL to create a data entry interface. If you are interested in this, drop me a comment to encourage me!
