Hi all

An improved version of [arduino] and its help patch is ready for testing
and commenting. There is also a new [arduino-gui] class, that
graphically emulates an Arduino board and is supposed to be very easy to
use, especially for beginners.

Get it from here:
https://github.com/reduzent/pduino

Some notes:

[arduino]
* got rid of many external dependencies
* now depends only on [comport] and [pdstring]
* fixed long-standing bug with wrongly reporting digital inputs
* improved performance for digital inputs (thanks to Ingo)

arduino-help.pd
* general overhaul
* updated to comply with Firmata v2.3
* improved sections for different pin modes
* added pin mode support table
* added reference off all arduino commands
* reflect supported modes for every pin in the documentation
* explain pull-up resistor features
* un-deprecate 'digitalIns' and 'analogIns' commands

[arduino-gui]
* new
* fully emulate Arduino board (only Firmata 2.2 and 2.3)
* easily generate valid arduino commands
* set pin mode and states with few mouse-clicks
* display current state for every pin
* requires Pd[-extended] >= 0.43

arduino-gui-help.pd
* new
* quickly explain [arduino-gui]

Please test and report back!

@Hans
If no show stopper is found, do you mind if those updates and additions
are added to pd-svn/externals/hardware/arduino?

Cheers
Olsen & Roman
