First step does not work.

Processing fails to compile.

Missing void setup instructions ... shown in little snapshot .. not in code.

Hi,

Sorry about the confusion. In order to be consistent with the rest of the tutorial, I have modified the tutorial’s code in the section “…to Processing” [ https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/co ... processing ] to include void setup(){}

I changed this part of the tutorial:

--------------------------------------------------
For our `setup()` method in Processing, we're going to find the serial port our Arduino is connected to and set up our Serial object to listen to that port.
Code: Select all
    // I know that the first port in the serial list on my mac
    // is Serial.list()[0].
    // On Windows machines, this generally opens COM1.
    // Open whatever port is the one you're using.
    String portName = Serial.list()[0]; //change the 0 to a 1 or 2 etc. to match your port
    myPort = new Serial(this, portName, 9600); 
--------------------------------------------------
