The next four episodes are all about communicating between the Arduino and other devices. In this video, we’ll focus on communicating with the computer via a standard serial connection. We’ll be using a new programming language called “processing” to visualize some information from the Arduino on the computer screen. If you are new to processing, they have an excellent set of tutorials to help you get started.

The Arduino Contest has been extended! You only have 1 more week to submit your project!

EDIT:
Serial.flush() has changed in Arduino 1.0. You can use the following instead:
while(Serial.available()>0) Serial.read();
