Try [debounce] from mapping, it is designed for exactly that
problem. You'll just need to set the time high, like 2000 (ms).

Those debug messages are correct, that's just the raw bytes being
transmitted.

hi there everybody, i have a question about the PIR in firmata. I'm
connecting a PIR sensor to an ardunio board and then programming it
on Pd using the Firmata firmware. Then, the input from the PIR
sensor will detect any motion and any voltage output will be used
to trigger a bang. But i have a problem, i guess the sensor will
trigger the bang twice, since the output from the sensor change
twice from a single motion. The question is how can i make the bang
only react from the first trigger and then ignores the second
trigger. I've used the delay routed to number "0", but it's useless
since there's no exact time when the second trigger will occur. Any
idea everybody.

And when i debug the firmata, for every single detected output, i
have a message like these

DEBUG: 144 DEBUG: 4 DEBUG: 0 DEBUG: 144 DEBUG: 4 DEBUG: 0 DEBUG: 144 DEBUG: 0 DEBUG: 0 DEBUG: 144 DEBUG: 0 DEBUG: 0

can anybody tell me what these messages means? is my system working
correctly?

many thanks in advance.
