A Problem with Processing and Arduino

system · November 28, 2013, 8:05pm

Hi,

I use Arduino as a data recorder for measuring the pulse rate , and i want to show the signal on processing software , but there are many errors that i didn't recognize them . these errors are :

serial does not run in 64-bit mode.
processing.app.SketchException: serial is only compatible with the 32-bit download of Processing.
at processing.mode.java.runner.Runner.(Runner.java:108)
at processing.mode.java.JavaMode.handleRun(JavaMode.java:122)
at processing.mode.java.JavaEditor$20.run(JavaEditor.java:480)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)

and this ones are in Arduino sofware :

The question is , what is exactly the problem ? and how to fix it ?

the code is here :

github.com

Make-Magazine/IR-Pulse-Sensor/blob/master/IRPulseSensor.pde

    // Based on examples from Arduino's Graphing Tutorial and OscP5 documentation
    import processing.serial.*;
    Serial myPort; // The serial port
    int xPos = 1; // horizontal position of the graph
    float oldHeartrateHeight = 0; // for storing the previous reading

    void setup () {
    // set the window size:
    size(600, 400);
    frameRate(25);

    // List available serial ports.
    println(Serial.list());

    // Setup which serial port to use.
    // This line might change for different computers.
    myPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[1], 9600);

    // set inital background:
    background(0);

This file has been truncated. show original

the above problem is solved but there is still a small problem , it says that string function doesn't exist
any help please ?

Processing 2.1 could be your concern. download the earlier 1.5 which the source refers to as a "stable release"
Cheers
