Trouble Communicating With Arduino

Projects General Guidance

I physically sniffed the data on the pins

What did it smell like?

 myPort.write(str2);
       /*myPort.write('S');
              myPort.write('t');
                     myPort.write('a');
                            myPort.write('r');
                                   myPort.write('t');*/

What's
with
the
bizarre
indenting?

What DOES processing see that the Arduino received? Why do you NOT print what is in b, even if you think it is wrong?
