How to read from serial port?

The above codes currently takes reading from the movement of my mouse. I have tried editing the Yaw Pitch Roll example and my codes are here:

INSTRUCTIONS: 
This program has to be run when you have the FreeIMU_serial
program running on your Arduino and the Arduino connected to your PC.
Remember to set the serialPort variable below to point to the name the
Arduino serial port has in your system. You can get the port using the
Arduino IDE from Tools->Serial Port: the selected entry is what you have
to use as serialPort variable.

The second sets of codes reads data from my serial port and displays the data out as according. Only Yaw is working perfectly fine. Anyway to combine the first and the second sets of codes such that Processing will display everything that the first set have, and take reading from the serial port?

I am running the following codes on arduino (connected to a 10 dof imu and arduino mega 2560):

#include <ADXL345.h>
#include <bma180.h>
#include <HMC58X3.h>
#include <ITG3200.h>
#include <MS561101BA.h>
#include <I2Cdev.h>
#include <MPU60X0.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>

//#define DEBUG
#include "DebugUtils.h"
#include "CommunicationUtils.h"
#include "FreeIMU.h"
#include <Wire.h>
#include <SPI.h>


float q[4];

// Set the FreeIMU object
FreeIMU my3IMU = FreeIMU();

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Wire.begin();

  delay(5);
  my3IMU.init();
  delay(5);
}


void loop() { 
  my3IMU.getQ(q);
  serialPrintFloatArr(q, 4);
  Serial.println("");
  delay(20);
}

Thanks in advance!
