movie2serial issue for Processing2.1

[mortonkopf]

Hello all, Processing 2.1 does not support readstringuntil, it was omitted for some reason. If updating your processing.org software you will need to use a workaround for movie2serial. I have tested it with the below code on a small single teensy 3 array, and it seems to work.

most likely many of you will already know about this, but I could not find a forum post on this. I have substituted in the following code in the processing sketch to replace the readStringuntil:

  byte bytesIn[] = ledSerial[numPorts].readBytesUntil(10);
      // Convert the byte array to a String
    String line = new String(bytesIn);

Wow, your timing couldn't have been better! I just discovered this problem tonight, and your workaround works. Thanks!

Based on my inquiry, the issue is that in Processing 2.1, the serial library now utilizes "JSSC" instead of "RXTX"

I understand that this is a known error and will be fixed in the next release.
