I've never run on Vista before, so I can't say much about that.  I have run on Debian, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X.  It shouldn't matter what is generating the data on the arduino, the messages coming to Pd via the serial port should be all the same.  

Are you using the latest version:

Hello Hans-Christoph, I am using PD 0.39.3 extended. on a windows vista system. Its PD that crashes, or "stops working" as Vista so nicely puts it, when I connect the FSRs.
I have arduino connecting via wireless xbees at 19200 baud.
I also use an infra red distance sensor that gives no problem.
I've been routing the data from the FSRs through the autoscale object.
Maybe I should find a way to reduce the amount of data being sampled...every 40ms for example? How would I do that?
Nick.

Which program crashes? Which version are you using? You will get a lot of data, from 6 sensors, Pduino/Firmata will read them all every 20ms. I have never seen a crash using [arduino], except when I unplug the arduino when Pd is connected to it, so I suspect the problem lies elsewhere.

I have a little problem using Pduino and some force sensing resistors that I am using in conjunction with phidget voltage dividers....they seem to crash the program as soon as I activate more than 1 at a time.....
Should I be applying some sort of filter to the data stream?
Arduino2PD seems more robust, allowing me to activate all 6 analog inputs at once.
