Here's what I'm trying to do: I loaded the BlinkMCommunicator sketch on the Arduino board, then close the Arduino IDE and connect the BlinkM to Arduino board (success).

Then, I move to the Processing IDE. I'd like to write a sketch in Processing to control the BlinkM from the computer. For example, if I press a key on the keyboard, the Processing sketch picks up the key press and triggers a color change on the BlinkM. Or, the Processing sketch is retrieves a value from a website and based on that changes the color on the BlinkM.

The Arduino board is tethered to the computer by a USB cable, and the BlinkM is connected to the Arduino board.

Sorry, if I'm being dense and missing something obvious. The two Processing sketches in the examples both use a JAVA GUI app as helpers to load scripts. I don't want to deal with the JAVA GUI. I just want to send command changes to the BlinkM directly from the Processing sketch.
