An example of an issue I had and how I resolved it:

> [@Processing to Arduino Serial Library Example](https://discourse.processing.org/t/processing-to-arduino-serial-library-example/11143):
>
> The SimpleWrite example in the Processing examples was not working on PCs I had available to me. The Arduino resets when establishing a serial connection. I added a delay(1000) to allow the Arduino to reset after serial connection to Processing and it now works. I modified the Processing setup() as follows: void setup() { size(200, 200); printArray(Serial.list()); //Added! List all the available serial ports String portName = Serial.list()[0]; myPort = new Serial(this, portNa…

It may help.
