Serial communication with Scribbler
I want to use the Scribbler robot for a large scale drawing project. I've already seen that I can communicate with the scribbler from the keyboard and thus effect actions using PBASIC. I would like to know if I can use the SERIN and SEROUT commands to install a program that will allow me to stream commands to the Scribbler. I intend to use Processing to write a a program that will stream commands down the serial cable to the Scribbler. I feel that using a higher level language than PBASIC will allow me to have a lot of freedom with what I can do with the Scribbler - I'll be able to jump into the conceptual side with out trying to patch it out in PBASIC. All I'll have to do is write the interface for the Scribbler.
If this is actually possible could someone show me a basic script in PBASIC for serial communication please? I just want to be able to turn an LED on and off at the very least with SERIN. If SERIN works then I can deduce how to work SEROUT for the sensors myself.
Thanks.

Communication like this covered in good detail in various free downloads and several threads on these fora.
