I have to admit to not having taken a look at processing at all but from what I've seen I probably should. Did you have a url for your project?

I started with a common cathode RGB led controlled via 3 pwm channels. I made an oragami cube to diffuse it even more. I created a number of color cycling 'patterns', along with random cycling, both instant and fading. Finally for added fun I whipped up a processing sketch that would send the color of the pixel under the mouse to the arduino. I cut out a paper cube and had a 'magic pixel' that was a pretty close match of the pixel under my screen. This was very similar to my first arduino project.

If you get my script package you can have full control of IO & PWM. AD is scaled to mV & formatted for import to most spreadsheets. See http://207.14.167.161 for the package, SMS1.tgz. Then you could control yer 3 leds with 'writePWM-1 pin# 0-255' and a whole lot more. Put a bunch of these commands in a textfile & 'source' that file. Sorry, my mini-website isn't 24/7, it only works when my PC is booted, so keep trying. You mentioned you are using Simple Message System on your Diecimila. If you get my script package you

Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you. Chris Moran I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts.
