[PD] Arduino - first impressions

Hi all,

I just tested my arduino board (uno) in pd, with a single pot. I wanted share my joy with you, because i managed to get it to work with Pd quite easily. I also wanted to say thank you very much to Hans, because Pduino is really cool, and i'm amazed by the time it took me to get it to work.

Now that it's working, i have a few questions :

• I'm assuming the more pins are open, the more CPU is consumed. Is that

correct?

• Is there a way i can change the "sample rate" of the analog inputs? The

values don't seem to move smoothly when i turn the pot rapidly (i tested it by controlling the frequency of an oscillator). It's better when i bypass the "display values without pegging the cpu" object, but it's not perfect. Apparently using a 10 ms line~ works fine too.

• Is the pduino object more cpu-consuming than hid?

Cheers!
