Three of us including Tim talked at lunch about final plan application.
Aaron has been looking at Processing ... but hasn't posted that here yet.

1st try
I've started experimenting with trying to get Arduino to talk with Processing.
I followed the instructions on
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Interfacing/Processing
but am having no luck yet. I didn't have much luck with processing so I briefly
tried Puredata but did not have any luck.
A lot of this seems to be based on installing third party libraries and
having the right versions of each thing installed in the correct directories.
I imagine using a clean install of the Arduino IDE in addition to a recently
maintained peice of code (i.e. one that doesn't link to nonexistent webpages)
I played around a little bit over the summer with Python's pySerial library and
had some luck with it. As I am somewhat familiar with python, this might be a
good route to take initially.
2nd try
I finally got Processing and my Arduino to talk to eachother. It turns out I was
installing libraries incorrectly. To install the library, you have to take the whole contents of the zip file, put them into a folder named– libraries/ inside the processing folder as listed in its preferences.
could-have-been 3rd try
This is the wrong processing file. And the matching arduino sketch didn't get uploaded.
