Port Serial en "Size"

did you check on how to use CP5 Textarea

http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/examples/controllers/ControlP5textarea/ControlP5textarea.pde

i not see any

myTextarea.setText("test");

try like

// https://discourse.processing.org/t/port-serial-en-size/7568
// v01 2 cp5 button and 2 text()
// v02 instead text() 3 cp5 textarea ( in, out, console )
