Processing - Which Version?

Hi All,

As of Dec 1, 2013, all of the Processing code has been developed under Processing 2.0.3. Because of changes in how Processing 2.1 implements the Serial library, however, the OpenBCI GUI will not work under Processing 2.1.

To address the problem with the Serial implementation in Processing 2.1, I created this issue on the Processing GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2214">https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2214</a>;

Since the issue has been satisfactorily addressed (ie, I tested their fix using the OpenBCI Processing GUI and it runs very well), I'm hoping that the next version of Processing will work well for OpenBCI.

Until that time, however, stick with Processing 2.0.3.

    I'll add, it needs to be the 32 bit processing version because the ser package (for serial communication) is incompatible with 64 bit processing implementation

    dhruvsakalley , which platform are you on?  Mac or PC?

    On my Win7 PC, the 64-bit versions of 2.0.3 and 2.1 wouldn't work, but the 64-bit version of Processing V2.2.1 does seem to work fine.

    Hi Chip,
    Thanks for the quick followup, I'm on 64 bit Win8.1. 

    Just so I understand you correct, when you say " but the 64-bit version of Processing V2.2.1 does seem to work fine" you mean the openbci gui works fine with V2.2.1? If that is the case I'll give it a try.

    I've not tried the latest latest latest OpenBCI GUI, but the version that I've been using (6 weeks old?) worked fine on 64-bit V2.2.1 on 64-bit Win7.
