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.

    // 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);
