Hey,

I'm currently working on a project where I want to send data from 
Arduino to processing. Every time I place an rfid chip on the Arduino 
reader that switches the colors of a square in processing. So everytime 
I place a rfid-chip on my rfid-reader, arduino should send the data to 
processing, and depending on the card-number the color of the square in 
processing should change.
The connection is somehow working but I the colors of the square in 
processing are not switching.
I use the Arduino Elegoo Uno R3 and the joy-it RFID Reader.
Would love to get some help, how to solve this problem!
I attached a screenshot with the serial motor of the Arduino :)

Here is my Arduino-Code:

How should the colour change?
1
if (state == '1') {
2
  background(#BC4A4A); // !!!!!!!!!
3
  //fill(#ffffff);
4
}
5
/*If the state is change to 2, the colour of the center Rectangle is changed to green.*/
6
if (state == '2') {
7
  background(#BC4A4A); //  !!!!!!!!!!!
8
  //fill(#000000);
9
}

Background colour stays the same for both options...
