ERROR ARDUINO
Jun 15^th, 2010, 9:30am

Hello, I am newbie in Arduino and Processing
and this year for my Bachelor i made project with.

I created a system of interaction with laser diodes, Processing
and Arduino.
When the lasers are activated, sound + video are generated.

So I program with Processing, everything works perfectly when I use instead of Arduino, my keyboard, but when I connect my computer to the Arduino ... nothing happens.

I have this error message

Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.NullPointerException
at LASERHARPE2_pde.keyReleased(LASERHARPE2_pde.java:155)
at processing.core.PApplet.handleKeyEvent(PApplet.java:1756)
at processing.core.PApplet.dequeueKeyEvents(PApplet.java:1735)
at processing.core.PApplet.handleDraw(PApplet.java:1437)
at processing.core.PApplet.run(PApplet.java:1327)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613)

I have eight lasers, each laser has a name: laser a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h.
and each laser had a function on Processing .

What does it mean ?

Thank

PhiLho

Please:
- Avoid all caps subjects (it is like shouting!)
- Read the stickies in the forums (the Software Bugs section isn't for posting about bugs in your software, and you shouldn't post there anyway).

NullPointerException usually means you are trying to use an object but it is null, ie. not initialized.
For example using someObject.someMethod() or someObject.someField
Check you did your initializations correctly.
