hi, tonite i've been trying to control a stepper motor via pd's firmata, formerly known as pduino.
im using the arduino-test.pd patch included with in the Pduino-0.1 release, me under linux (gentoo:)
as soon as i choose the devicename port /dev/ttyUSB0 i get a full pd window with:
error: inlet: expected '' but got 'float' error: inlet: expected '' but got 'list' error: inlet: expected '' but got 'float' error: inlet: expected '' but got 'list'
an object did not create properly (e.g. because the corresponding abstraction/external could not be loaded)
there should be some hint in the pd-console (before all this inlet-error stuff starts)

PS: for some reason, your email appears to be a part of the thread "pd *is* a programming language". if this is by chance, ignore the following: it is considered bad style to randomly pick an email from the pd-list (or - in general - any mailing list) and "reply" to it with changing the subject and the body. read http://puredata.info/community/lists/netiquette (search for "threads") for more information on this.
