Photoshop Open Now

     Photoshop application is designed with a Com port that allows programmers to control it's features and run pre-programmed tasks by communicating through this port. and as I need a way to collect the data that arrived to the computer to use it with Photoshop I used Python for those two tasks. through Python I accessed serial port to collect the sensor data and also I accessed Photoshop to get and transfer data from and to it.
     I managed to go through this successfully and now I can get foreground colour from Photoshop to process it and send it back to Photoshop. using the usual Photoshop colour palette to chose a colour, save it, process it and send it back to Photoshop.

Art Application to Use

     At this stage, and as I successfully got a live data from the sensor. I need to apply the collected data to the artwork in progress. my idea for now is to use Photoshop as the main art making application. within Photoshop art environment, I need to chose a specific parameter or action that can respond to the collected data, also can possibly indicate some information about the artist at this specific moment when the data will be applied. the element I chose within Photoshop is the foreground colour, the live selected colour that Photoshop tools use by default. I chose foreground colour to be linked to my heart rate status as I believe that the instant and continuous changes in the used colour can indicate much about artist body responses.

Got Data Successfully

So far.. the Arduino board is able to talk to the heart rate sensor and collect the required information successfully. as I have a live data out of my body, the plan is not to use these data to draw a an ECG like graphs, but to employ these data in a way that reflects these immediate information into an artistic actions.
the form of connection can be a direct controlling and processing of an active element in the process of artmaking, so this element will represent in it is existence my body responses.

New World

      I got the required components to start the project. The Arduino board and the Heart Rate Sensor and other wiring bits and boards .. the Arduino board is capable to communicate with the sensor and collect the required form of information through an internal software that needs to be written in Arduino programming language which is Java based programming language. the software will define the connection pins and set the multi timers that can provide the environment to allocate the collected heart beats on a timeline and this will provide the required readings.
also this software is controlling the flow of the processed information back to the main PC that running the other parts of the interface.
the other software that will collect Arduino collected data and analyse it with other collected information and communicate with Photoshop still unclear so far.
