I have a fairly basic Processing program I made in 2013 to controll solenoids using an arduino card with FirmatA installed. the original worked very well but is having issues with windows 10. I wanted to update it from 1.5.1 to run using a newer version of Processing but am not having any luck. When I try to run the program from the editor in P3.5.4 I get this error
“IllegalAccessError: tried to access class processing.core.PApplet$RegisteredMethods from class cc.arduino.Arduino$SerialProxy
Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize).”
It seems to hang up on this line:
arduino = new Arduino(this, Arduino.list()[1], 57600);
Its like the arduino library is not installed or something.
ALSO, Even though the script runs the program perfectly from the 1.5.1 editor, I am unable to export and get a viable standalone app any more. The editor will export and create the files but when I try to run them I just get a blank screen of death. I assumed this was related to the outdated Processing editor not being able to use the current JAVA.
just as FYI, This controlls odor release to bees via solenoids. It is used by an entomologist to test the learing in bees. Similar to Pavlov’s dog, as an odor is released the bee is given some sugar water. After a while the bee will expect the sugar and extend its proboscus in response to the stimuli without any sugar water being offered. They named the device the “Olfactometer”
This is the exact code I am running in both 1.5.1 and 3.5.4
