Installing Processing
First things first, you need to install Processing on your machine. This is the
same process that you followed in the first chapter to get the Arduino IDE
installed. Visit
http://processing.org/download/
(or find the download link
on the digital content page for this chapter on
www.exploringarduino.com
) and
download the compressed package for your operating system. Simply unzip it
to your preferred location and you are ready to go! Run the Processing applica-
tion, and you should see an IDE that looks like the one shown in Figure 6-12.
