// Example by Tom Igoe
import processing.serial.*;
// The serial port:
Serial myPort;
// List all the available serial ports:
println(Serial.list());
/* I know that the first port in the serial list on my mac
is always my Keyspan adaptor, so I open Serial.list()[0].
Open whatever port is the one you're using.
*/
myPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[0], 9600);
// Send a capital A out the serial port:
myPort.write(65);
