When copy and pasting the code directly from the tutorial, "Serial Call and Response (handshaking) with ASCII-encoded output," I was getting the error message: Cannot find anything named "Serial"
I then proceeded to add the following line:
import processing.serial.*;
I then received an error message: The function begin(int) does not exist.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? I downloaded the newest Processing program version 2.0.3 as it suggested in the tutorial.
Thank you!
/*
Serial Call and Response in ASCII
Language: Wiring/Arduino
This program sends an ASCII A (byte of value 65) on startup
and repeats that until it gets some data in.
Then it waits for a byte in the serial port, and
sends three ASCII-encoded, comma-separated sensor values,
truncated by a linefeed and carriage return,
whenever it gets a byte in.
Thanks to Greg Shakar and Scott Fitzgerald for the improvements
The circuit:
- potentiometers attached to analog inputs 0 and 1
- pushbutton attached to digital I/O 2
