Using Processing 2 and NXT
Hi I wondered if anyone has used Processing 2 to connect to and control Lego NXT?
I've Googled, but can't find much clear information on connecting, whether I need to flash the brick etc etc. Any advice would be welcome.

A Processing app is compiled as Java. That's why the default mode is called "Java Mode".
So you'd have more chances at finding Lego NXT as a Java library.
There are other Processing modes like Python, Ruby, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, etc.
Who knows there might be Lego NXT libs for some of those languages?
Processing has a sister project called OpenFrameworks which is based on C++:
http://www.openframeworks.cc/
I believe it's much more probable to find Lego NXT libs for both C++ & Java than any other language!
See this: http://jorgecardoso.eu/processing/NXTComm/
@ basil60 so did that library work?
Is there a reason you specifically need Processing to control the NXT and not Java?
I've used LeJos: http://www.lejos.org/
