hello everybody!

i'm using an arduino and bluetooth to send data from an external sensor to processing. the application had been working nicely on a mac, for several reasons i am trying to set everything up for PC now.

i have a COM port for the bluetooth communication, i can check the incoming data in the arduino Serial Monitor as well as in Hyperterminal. and in the bluetooth environment i see that the connection is established.

in processing i see the port in the serial.list(), but the connection simply is not established, and i don't even get any error messages. the outcome of serial.available() remains -1.
when testing processing i have no other applications running, and the usb serial port also works, when sending data from the arduinio via usb for example.

i am using RXTX 2.1-7.

does anybody have ANY idea?
is it a processing/java problem?

it cannot be a system or hardware problem if it works in the arduino software environment or in hyperterminal, can it?


i'd be veryvery thankful for any help!
