Applet with Serial crashing in OS X
Jan 24th, 2008, 9:45pm
 
Hi,
I am doing a project using Processing with a serial(usb) connection to an Arduino to receive numbers from a sensor.  then make grab a webpage with a loadStrings(url). The PApplet is often freezing after a short while which crashes Processing. I can do a 'kill -9' to kill processing, but the PApplet will not die. If I rerun Processing and run the sketch, the new PApplet also become immediately inactive. Any thoughts? I am not very skilled with java but have used Processing occasionally over the last year or so.

I am running OS X 10.5 and Processing 0135.
I can copy my code if that would be helpful.
thanks for any help!
-Jeff

Hi

I’ve got the same problem over here! Can't kill the applet and the only solution is a hard reset. Even OS X won't close.

Don't know what it is but help would indeed be helpful.

Greetings Evert
