I have a sketch that uses serial communication to get data from an arduino.

It also displays a circle on the screen as part of a calibration routine.

It works fine, but I decided it would look a little cooler to make the circle (ellipse) into a sphere

so I tried simply changing

 

size(currentWindowX, currentWindowY);

 

to

size(currentWindowX, currentWindowY,P3D);

 

so that I can use the sphere command

 

 

but just adding P3D to my size(x,y) line gave me the following error.  If I get rid of the P3D it immediately works fine again????  Is there an issue with serial in P3D mode????

 

 

Error inside Serial.<init>()

 

Here is the error log:
