Hi! I'm a Processing newbie and I came across this awesome program searching for a way to read usb data! I've looking to get my first advanced RC Battery charger and I was shocked at how ugly and primitive the RC Battery software looked and worked (all of the RC Battery software only works in Windows or seem non-intuitive), I'm interested in purchasing this Venom Charger but the downloaded software only seems to work on Windows XP here's a link:

I'm wondering if this program written in Processing would get me started on the right steps to figuring out a Processing implementation:
void setup() {
size(600,600);
// checks for usb ports
println(Serial.list ()0;
// use first available port on computer
port = new Serial(this, Serial.list() [0], 9600);
// Request values from Charger
port.write(65);
}
I would really appreciate any feedback, I also would appreciate it if anyone can give me any pointers or recommendations on a charger that writing Processing software might even be easier, as the Venom charger just happened to catch my eye.
Thanks!
Peter
