Firmata computation runs in a loop. The first step is to check for changing values at the digital inlets and immediately send them to Pd without delay. The second step is executed every 20 milliseconds. During that call, all data that was received from Pd is handled and the analog inputs are read and sent to Pd. I am not exactly sure how the second step is triggered, if it has a timer, interrupt or just runs as fast as possible. but it is definitely not triggered by Pd. marius. > > On 8/17/08, marius schebella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Adityo Pratomo wrote: >>> Hi there everyone.
