Hi guys, I having some problems to execute a code. When I click on button Run nothing happens. Someone knows what is going on?
if your Processing IDE is installed correctly
and your system is compatible
the examples from the /File / Examples / menu
work.
if you find that some examples work, but esp. graphic heavy ones not
might need memory adjustments or your graphic card / system driver / does not fit.
if the examples work but you write own code,
you can post it here using the </> code tag from this editor
why you select the arduino cattegory?
how is that related?
Can be something about monitor resolution? Because I’m using here a Dell optplex 7640 hardware with 1920x1080 px. Or I need some OpenGL or Directx configuration? My network here is behind a Proxy. Can be that?
Are you on Win 10?
Post your code please
Hi Chrisir. I used the same code on my notebook with Debian OS. It works. But, I put the code below:

size (1920, 1080);
smooth();
myPort = new Serial(this,"COM4", 9600); // starts the serial communication
myPort.bufferUntil('.'); // reads the data from the serial port up to the character '.'. So actually it reads this: angle,distance.

}

New Updated version of the code to fit any screen resolution:
Just change the values in size() function, with your screen resolution.
/* Arduino Radar Project

* Updated version. Fits any screen resolution!
* Just change the values in the size() function,
