Hi guys,
I am currently undertaking a project at uni that involves using an Arduino.
The Arduino will be controlling some blinkM led modules.
As part of the project I want to build a GUI to interact with the board.
I have a pretty good knowledge of java and want to use the Eclipse IDE.
Does anyone know of a tutorial or have experience talking with the Arduino through Eclipse?
Thanks in advance.
Jon.
Hi, I started trying, but then ended up using Ruby - because it worked very easily!
The Arduino IDE is written in Java, and its open source 
SO I would have a look at how they implement their Serial Monitor.
Good luck.
It sounds like you want to use a PC to interface with the Arduino board.
If so, using Processing (Arduino is based on this) and communicating over serial or bluetooth would be a very good way to do it and it's all in java.
Coding with Processing is really easy to setup in Eclipse. No plugin needed. See this page:

You can just copy and paste in the code from any Processing Sketch available, add the proper import statements, and you are ready to go.
You can code for Arduino too in Eclipse but I've found it considerably more difficult to setup the plugin.
Oscarcar,
Thanks for the tip - I'll have a go.
