With HC-SR04 sensor, I'm trying to put Arduino Serial output to Processing with Bluetooth
On Arduino, I can get perfect distance output on serial monitor (like 2~30)
However, When I try to transport that serial to Processing with Bluetooth
It turns to someting like -1, 55, 54 on Processing Serial monitor
This is my Arduino code
int trigPin = A5;
int echoPin = A4;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
long duration, distance;
  digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
  delay(10);
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
  distance = ((float)(340 * duration) / 10000) / 2;
  Serial.print(distance);
  delay(500);
  if (Serial.available() > 0) {
    Serial.read();
    Serial.write(distance);
  }
}
This is Processing code
    import processing.serial.*;
    Serial serial;
    void setup() {
      size(400, 400);  
     // println(Serial.list());
      serial = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[1], 9600);
      int start = millis();
      while (millis() < start + 4000) {
      }
      serial.write(1);
     frameRate(10);
    }
    void draw() {
      if (serial.available() > 0) {
        background(serial.read(),0,0);
        serial.write(1);
      }
          println(serial.read());
    }
Can you help me?

Referring to your processing code, shouldn't your line 22 be handled by your if statement in line 18?
I think it will be convenient to print what you are getting through your serial monitor in processing. To help understand better what you are receiving, print it in hex format:
What do you get?
