This is the same
problem I had described several times before. There is an error in the 8-bit
block where the digital ins 2+3 are coming in. It can be traced somewhere in
the mapping section. I'll try to finally look it up tomorrow.

Arduino (is drivin me mad
Hi All,
I apologie if
this is off-topic. Please let me know if you think it is.
I have been
working on my arduino-based pedal, and im faced with a peculiar problem right
now. I'm using 8 digital inputs ( 6 on the first socket of the board, inputs 2
through 8, and 2 on the second digital socket, inputs 9 and 10). The first 6
inputs work perfectly, but when i want to use any of the last two inputs (9 and
10), i have to trigger them twice before they start working. Then i'm faced
with the exact same problem when i get back to the first 6 inputs. I am pretty
sure that i used the very same wiring for all 8 inputs.
So... I thought
that maybe this could be a problem with firmata or pduino (no offense, Hans!). I
have been spending the last hour trying to write a simple program in the
arduino software in order to print in serial monitor the values of my digital
inputs.
Now my
question... Is the arduino software just really really bad? Or was it just not
designed to work on an ubuntu machine? It is randomly very slow at start-up, it
randomly disables the serial port menu in Tools, it randomly decides to prevent
me from uploading the program in the board, or warns me that serial port
dev/ttyACM0 is already in use, or can't be found. The fact that i unplug and
replug the board, or change the usb port, or restart the software doesn't seem
to make any difference.
This is beginning
to look more like witchcraft than computer science to me.
Please help me,
or i'll teach it how to fly out my window.
Thank you.
Pierre
