Hello Forum,

I'm just getting into Arduino and I was going through the youtube workshop and had no problems so far. But now, I've installed Processing and wanted to get the arduino_output example running. But I keep getting error messages.
The problems seems to be in the setup:

void setup() {
  size(470, 200);
  
  println(Arduino.list());
    arduino = new Arduino(this, Arduino.list()[0], 57600);
  
  for (int i = 0; i <= 13; i++)
    arduino.pinMode(i, Arduino.OUTPUT);
}

The error message is: "IllegalAccessError: tried to access class processing.core.PApplet$RegisteredMethods from class cc.arduino.Arduino$SerialProxy"

Has anyone had the same problem?
The information on processing.org wasn't a big help.

Thanks

On what OS? I've never seen that on Windows.

I'm using Windows 7

I'd recommend adding a couple of lines of code:
  println("COM Ports");
  println(Arduino.list());
  println("=========");
    arduino = new Arduino(this, Arduino.list()[0], 57600);

Then, show us what it printed.

I've added the lines and received this output:

COM Ports
Stable Library
=========================================
Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
Java lib Version   = RXTX-2.1-7
[ 0 ] "COM13"
=========

and this error message that I've already received before:

You're going to need to post your ENTIRE Processing sketch.

[Reply #6 on:]

Oh, I'm sorry.

Here's the sketch:

import processing.serial.*;
import cc.arduino.*;
Arduino arduino;

color off = color(4, 79, 111);
color on = color(84, 145, 158);

int[] values = { Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW,
 Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW,
 Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW, Arduino.LOW };

void setup() {
  size(470, 200);
  
  println("COM Ports");
  println(Arduino.list());
  println("=========");
  
  arduino = new Arduino(this, Arduino.list()[0], 57600);
  
  for (int i = 0; i <= 13; i++)
    arduino.pinMode(i, Arduino.OUTPUT);
}

void draw() {
  background(off);
  stroke(on);  
  for (int i = 0; i <= 13; i++) {
    if (values == Arduino.HIGH)
      fill(on);
    else
      fill(off);      
    rect(420 - i * 30, 30, 20, 20);
  }
}

void mousePressed()
{
  int pin = (450 - mouseX) / 30;  
  if (values[pin] == Arduino.LOW) {
    arduino.digitalWrite(pin, Arduino.HIGH);
    values[pin] = Arduino.HIGH;
  } else {
    arduino.digitalWrite(pin, Arduino.LOW);
    values[pin] = Arduino.LOW;
  }
}

Code tags would remove the italics.

I'm having the exact same problem. I ran sample code given with the Arduino library for Processing (Which I'm assuming this is also).

Well, there's just about enough information here to solve your problem. NOT.

What Processing application are you running? What Arduino code are you running? What operation system? What versions of Processing and Arduino?

[Reply #10 on:]

It's the EXACT same problem as above, same code. The code is an example included in the Arduino library for Processing. I have the latest version of Arduino and Processing software. My Arduino is farily new arduino R3.

The problem is that processing will not attempt serial communication with the Ardunio period. The following code alone for example:




import processing.serial.*;

import cc.arduino.*;

Arduino myArduino;

void setup() {
  println(myArduino.list());
  myArduino = new Arduino(this, myArduino.list()[0], 57600);
}

void draw() {
  println("Hello world");
}



....gives the following error message....

Yes, I know the USB is not included in the list. I wasn't attempting to use it because it should have worked anyway.

[Reply #11 on:]

Folks, I had the same problem and just managed to overcome it.  Here's how:  Do NOT download the newest version of Processing; rather download the last stable release which is 1.5.1 (the new release is the very source of the bugs, as the Processing has been revised but the Arduino libraries have not).  Once you've done that, you will need to update you're RXTX libraries (there is a mismatch, follow the direction contained in the following link: http://forum.processing.org/topic/how-do-i-install-rxtx-2-2pre1-jar-on-windows-7     

A couple side notes, I've got a Arduino Mega 2560 communicating with at Windows 7 machine. 

Best of luck my friends!

Thanks so much, Matt/mellis20!  I had even gone to install from the latest in svn, but going back to 1.5.1 worked for me.  I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.1.  I didn't get any message complaining about RX/TX so kept with what I had.
