Javax Swing print to JTextArea in seperate class

Question

I am trying to print to a TextArea in a different class, I am getting a NullPointerException.

Here is the code that I am writing to the textarea

public class basicinterface extends intGui implements SerialPortEventListener {

/**
 * Stream for the storage of incoming data
 */
private InputStream inputStream;
/**
 * Stream for the dispatching of data
 */
private OutputStream outputStream;

 */

 * Representation of the serial port used for the communication
 */
private SerialPort serialPort;
/**
 * Buffer that stores the received bytes from the media
 */
protected LinkedBlockingQueue<Byte> receivedBytes;

/**
 * Builds a new manager for the communication via USB port.
 * @exception IOException if an error occurred during the opening of the USB port
 */
public basicinterface() throws IOException {
  receivedBytes = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Byte>(100000);
    String port = "COM8"; //place the right COM port here, OS dependent

    //Check that the USB port exists and is recognized:
    Enumeration<?> portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
    boolean portFound = false;
    CommPortIdentifier portId = null;
    while (portList.hasMoreElements()) {
        portId = (CommPortIdentifier) portList.nextElement();
        if (portId.getPortType() == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL) {
            intGui.termoutput.setText(portId.getName());
            if (portId.getName().equals(port)) {
                intGui.termoutput.setText("Found port: " + port);
                portFound = true;
                break;
            } 
        } 
    } 

    if (!portFound) 
        throw new IOException("port " + port + " not found.");

        serialPort = (SerialPort) portId.open("USBCommunicator", PORT_TIMEOUT);
        intGui.termoutput.setText("USB port opened");
        inputStream = serialPort.getInputStream();
        outputStream = serialPort.getOutputStream();
        serialPort.addEventListener(this);

protected void write(byte[] buffer){

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Thread thread1 = new Thread() {
        public void run() {

    thread2.start();

    } catch (InterruptedException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();    }
}
}

This is my JTextArea code here

    public class intGui  {
    public static JTextArea termoutput;
    public static JTextField baudrate;
    public static void initialgui() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setSize(600,600);
        frame.setVisible(true);

        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        frame.add(panel);
        panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(2,3));

        baudrate = new JTextField("9600");
        termoutput = new JTextArea("Testing");
        panel.add(baudrate);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    initialgui();
    }
}

I am a little lost about where to begin with this problem.
