Hi there everyone. Lately i've been working with an arduino board loaded with the firmata firmware and then i use the [arduino] object to read the input from the sensor that connected to the board's input port. For the firmware, i choose to upload the simple_digital_firmata code from the Library-Firmata example. And everything just went well. After some examination, i made an assumption that this code is actually doing the almost same thing done by the [arduino] object.
So my questions are is my my assumption true? if so, is the firmata code is used by the arduino board so that it can communicate with the computer, and the [arduino] object will maps those I/Os from the board to the pd? Actually what does the [arduino] object does when it's started up for the first time? The last question is Why can't i get the [arduino] board to respond when i upload the standard_firmata code?
Thank you so much every body, sorry for the long questions, i'm so curious here :)
