thanks tim and jose,
i know about the new USB-to-serial chip and i wonder if this is the problem.

to make things clear we used firmata 2.2, Arduino IDE 0021, Arduino UNO board, Pduino0.5beta8 downloaded from Hans' site, pd-extended 0.42.5 for Mac Intel.

same set up with Arduino Duemilanove works flawlessly, so i think the problem is with the board, but i can't be sure...
today i'll experiment with different configurations.

Ooops, the firmata.h is in the pduino/firmata...

Best regards

José

HI, I have no arduino one hand, you could try installing the latest Arduino IDE, is for the UNO plate.
I noticed that in 2.1 are defined Firmat chipset ATMEGA xxx in the file named firmata.h chipsets there are defined outputs and inputs, not sure, but could include a chip or model, remember that the FTDI system but not necessary with an Arduino UNO.

The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter. (arduino.cc)

Below define of plates, chips and inputs/outputs

Try de solutions and keep working


José

"It is similar to the Duemilanove, but has a different USB-to-serial chip the ATMega8U2"
may have something to do with it...?

hey there,
i'm teaching in an intensive course about Arduino in an italian design school.

some of the students are using Pduino for their final projects.
the point is i have a student who bought the new Arduino UNO board, we tried to use it with Firmata 2.2 and Pduino, but it doesn't work.
when loading the arduino-test it loads only a part of the patch in the console view. it recognizes the board as an Arduino UNO, but then it says "can't create"

i tried to search for the problem with google, but we haven't found anything useful.
maybe someone encountered a similar problem? :)
