    Thanks, this was helpful.
    In my case I had to add 0.5 though...

    BTW would expr be slower?

    Hi, I am just starting with arduino, and still not very experienced in PD.
    I have found tons of great info around here, thanks for that.

    For me, everything works up to a point:
    * I successfully upload the Firmata
    * the output example in Processing works, I am able to turn pin 13 on and off
    * in PD I open the correct port ("[comport] opened serial line device 3 (/dev/ttyUSB0)")
    however, I have not been able to get any communication with the arduino in PD using Hans-Christoph Steiner's [arduino] - either turn pin 13 on/off or get firmware information. The numerical commands sent to [comport] seem correct, e.g. 249 for version information, etc.

    So, the only place it seems possible to be going wrong is either [comport] or after that, along the line. As I said, it works with the same port from Processing, and at the same rate - 115200
    "get_baud_ratebits: 115200.000000
    set_baudrate baudbits: 4098 /***(what does this second line mean?)
    [comport] opened serial line device 3 (/dev/ttyUSB0)"

    I am running Ubuntu Intrepid, latest versions of Pd-extended, Arduino IDE, Firmata. The board is old though, "Arduino NG or older w/ ATmega8" but I guess this doesn't matter if the above mentioned things work.

    I still have to test it for input, but I have to pick up some sensors from the shop.
    If [arduino] does not work out I may try Messenger, but it really seemed quite good for what I am trying to do (drums with input from piezo elements).


    edit:
    This *may* have been due to a bad Arduino board, because I am now unable to transfer any sketches to it. Surprisingly though the Processing example still works (Firmata is left on the board from the time transfers worked)

Internal error.

Oops! Looks like something went wrong!
