If you are on GNU/Linux or Mac OS X and using an Arduino Diecimila,
then the Arduino will reset whenever you connect to it, i.e. send
[open 2( message. It needs to then boot up again.
Once the Arduino has booted up, it'll report its version. You can
get this version message from [arduino]'s 2nd outlet. So you could
[route version] and use that to send the messages. That will
guarantee the arduino is ready to listen to your messages.

I've got an arduino with 5 capacitive distance sensors plugged into
the analog ins. I just flashed the newest firmata-standard, and now
things aren't working as expected.the first thing I do is connect to /dev/ttyUSB0, which works fine.
Then I send the messages[analogIns 0 1(
[analogIns 1, 1(
etc...
to the arduino object. The funny thing is that any given input only
seems to turn on about 1 in 4 times I send the message. Once it's
on PD receives the data like a champ. I tried adding delay between
connecting via serial and turning on the inputs, but it didn't seem
to help even when adding a 2 second delay after the connection, and
500ms delay between turning on each input.thanks, spencer
