Now that it's working, i have a few questions :
- I'm assuming the more pins are open, the more CPU is consumed. Is that
correct?
Probably but at 16MHz you've got plenty cycles to spare ;).
- Is there a way i can change the "sample rate" of the analog inputs?
You can either try to change the bps of firmata (up to 1Mbps*) or/and roll your own arduino program that transmits only the information you need. You can then increase the throughput dramatically. It's pretty easy to do.
(* firmata.org says "Arduino is limited to the 115,000 bits/seconds of a serial port" but that's not true. A 3$ chip can run at 1Mbps (ok not reliably), but your expensive Intel can't ?).
