Getting data from serial port on windows vista
Jun 22nd, 2008, 2:48am  

Hi,

I have a program for my Arduino that outputs some sensor readings to the serial port. When I connect to my serial port  using putty I can see the output of my board, and it looks as expected.

I also have a processing script which tries to read the data from the serial port, but the serialEvent never seems to run. I'm pretty sure that I'm pointing it to the right port, COM3 in my case, and that Arduino is writting to the serial port. I'm running Windows Vista, Processing 0135, and Arduino 0011. I suspect that the Processing serial.* doesn't play very well with Vista.

Any ideas what this could be?

David
