arduino.pulseIn(int,int) and Processing

import processing.serial.*;
import cc.arduino.*;

Arduino arduino;

int l = 0;
int r=-180;
int t;
float z;

void setup() {
  frameRate(40);
  size(500, 500);
  println(Arduino.list());
  arduino = new Arduino(this, Arduino.list()[0], 57600);
  arduino.pinMode(10, Arduino.SERVO);
  arduino.pinMode(8, Arduino.INPUT);
}

void draw() {
    translate(250, 250);
  background(250);
  screen();


  strokeWeight(3);
  stroke(0, 255, 0);
  strokeWeight(2);
  if (l>=-181 ) {
    l--;
    t=1;
    z = radians(l);
  }
  if (l<-180) {
    r++;
    t=r;
    z = radians(r);
  }
  if (r==0) {
    r=-180;
    l=0;
  }

  pushMatrix();
  rotate(z);
  line(0, 0, 100, 0);
  popMatrix();
}

void screen() {
stroke(0);
  fill(0);
  arc(0, 0, 200, 200, PI, TWO_PI);
}

void ar(){
arduino.servoWrite(10, t);  
arduino.digitalWrite(8, Arduino.HIGH);
arduino.pulseIn(8, Arduino.HIGH);
}

pulseIn(int,int); is not a function, Can I add this to the arduino library or would it not work for processing even if added? Or is there another way to use a ping sensor in processing?

You'll get a better response if you format your code. Here's how:

The arduino-library/firmat is great for simple things like reading/writing a pin.
But when you need more complicated code to adress your hardware/sensors, i would always write my own arduino-code. You can send still send messages between arduino and processing via Serial-connection.

Sorry about the code, I haven't used the new forum yet. Look better?

I was hoping to do all the coding in processing, so I was looking for a way to modify the cc.arduino library. I have only ever messed around with the motor library in arduino so I am not sure how to go about changing a processing one or even where to find it.

Thanks.
