I have a similar situation with a class that we are teaching. But the students have already learned Processing basics and ChucK basics before they do Arduino. So getting them to connect the Arduino to ChucK using Processing and OSC is not a problem.
But I would be equally interested in a serial communication solution.

Hey all,
I'm wondering if anyone on this list knows whether there are any plans to (finally) implement serial communication in ChucK?
I ask because, as someone who has been teaching Arduino-related things, I've basically stopped teaching ChucK in favour of Pd, simply because there isn't any way to get communication happening between ChucK and Arduino except through a third environment (like Processing via OSC or something).
I understand that it isn't that difficult to do this via OSC and Processing (or java or whatever), but it introduces an unfortunate stumbling block for beginners, and I find that it is just easier to teach in an environment that has native serial communication abilities (like Pd, Supercollider, etc). But really, I'd MUCH rather teach ChucK, as I find that it is such a good teaching language and has so many out-of-the-box features thanks to the native implementation of percolate...
I posed this question a couple of years ago and it seemed like there was lots of interest in making this happen, but as far as I know, nobody has stepped up.
Any thoughts?
