It would be possible to add support to Firmata for this, but it's not currently there.  I don't have any of these chips, any volunteers? Patches welcome :D

Dear PD list.  I would like to be able to control the AD5206 chip (a 6 channel digital potentiometer) from within the Pduino object written by Hans-Christoph Steiner. The idea comes from one of the tutorial exercises in the C++ arduino program.
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SPIDigitalPot
Is this relatively simple to do, or simply impossible? The aim in the long run is to be able to be able to calibrate  6 force sensors remotely using the digital potentiometers for an art installation project.
I have got the above mentioned tutorial project up and running succesfully using the arduino program, and I am also able to get Pduino communicating with the arduino quite happily on my Windows Vista system, but I would imagine to have control over the the digital potentiometer device from within PD would require a revision to the Firmata firmware would it not? I would be most grateful for a clue.
 
thank you for your attention, sincerely, Nick Burge.
