Arduino and Processing

I've just bought myself a little arduino board! They are cheap - easy to setup and program - and work well with the Processing language.

Infact those smart guys at Arduino have used the open source from Ben Fry's and Casey Reas's original processing Java IDE and have embedded a 'C' compiler which outputs the native code used by the little board. The Processing IDE can used to write Java applications which talk to the Arduino Board via the boards serial interface.

I will put up a demo if time permits - using b e n 's excellent ball of confusion - controlled by an analog joystick
