Processing will not communicate with Arduino
 
I have an Arduino Uno that is recognized by lsusb and is given the device name /dev/ttyACM0, as recognized by the Arduino IDE. I am added to the uucp group. Despite this, Processing will not show any available serial ports, nor will it communicate with the arduino if I tell it to use /dev/ttyACM0.

I have the ambient light code/setup detailed here working perfectly in Windows, and the same code will not run under Arch linux. I have installed the packages libxtst 1.2.1-1, lib32-libxtst 1.2.1-1, and the AUR versions of (Oracle) jre 7u3-1, jdk 7u3-1, arduino 1.0, and processing 1.5.1.

Code:

[susie@luka ~]$ sudo lsusb -s 005:002 -v

Any insight or suggestions are appreciated.

Also, running a command like `$echo "test">/dev/ttyACM0` causes the RX led on the arduino to blink, which leads me to believe it may be a software issue with Proccesing.org.

Still haven't figured this out, suggestions are welcome!
