MSP430 Launchpad demo related questions Re: java GUI

I've been able to observe the two demo programs (blinking LEDs and Temperature check) VISUALLY.  I've been able to run the Launchpad_temp-GUI.exe and have a window display "Current Temperature" in large text ... in fact, so larger that the actual temperature reading is not actually displayed in the created MS-DOS window.  The GUI software appears to be written in Java (at least he source I viewed).  I would like to modify this java code to display in a smaller font or at least reduce "current Temperature" displayed text to :"Curr Temp", thus hopefully moving the temp values over to the left and be displayed within the defined window area.

Can I use CCS5.1 with a java plugin to make the modification?  If so, any pointers, e.g. reasonably detailed tutorials, would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dirigo

    Hi Dirigo,

    The Launchpad Temp GUI demo is written in Processing, which is a language framework on top of Java.

    I don't have much experience with it, but I imagine it should be fairly painless to learn.

    Thanks Tony!  I've sort of been spinning my wheels trying to figure out what a .pde file extension is and what software creates it!  I'm somewhat familiar with java, but am no expert as it's been a few years for me doing any programming.  I'm a very old guy who's trying to keep the brain cells active.  LOL!

    Anyway I went to the link you listed and a lot of things began to fall in place for me.  I'm going to give it a try.  Again, thanks a lot.  I appreciate it.
