hi there

I have problems sending ints from wiring to processing
using the serial library. bytes work, as do strings, but
if I send ints, I always get the same range of numbers
(bewteen maybe 45 and 55), no matter what kind of number
I send.

Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong? I posted the
code of both wiring and processing here:

---------------------------------------------------
wiring code:
---------------------------------------------------
int val;

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600); //start serial comm
}

void loop() {
 
val = analogRead(0);
Serial.print(val, DEC);
Serial.print(char(10));

delay(100);

}
---------------------------------------------------
processing code:
---------------------------------------------------
import processing.serial.*;

Serial myPort;  // Create object from Serial class
int val;      // Data received from the serial port

void setup()
{
 size(200, 200);
 frameRate(100);

 String portName = Serial.list()[1];
 myPort = new Serial(this, portName, 9600);
}


void draw()
{
  background(val);
  rect(50, 50, 100, 100);
}


void serialEvent(Serial myPort) {
 
 val = myPort.read();
 print(val);
 print(char(10));
 
}
---------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your help!
