@ jmlynesjr, Woah! I was not aware that this existed. Hm, not sure how I missed it either! Thank you for bringing that to my attention; I will definitely be trying it out soon.
I hope it helps. I didn't want to learn "Processing", so I went with the perl module from cpan.
The chipKIT mpide comes with lots of example code in "Processing" for the PC and "Arduino" for download into the chipKIT board. Checkout www.chipkit.org and www.digilentinc.com.
