You need to match the versions of the Firmata on the Arduino and the
Firmata on Pd. Also, you should not use Firmata from Arduino 0017,
its buggy. Use Arduino 0018.
For ATMEGA8 using OldStandardFirmata, but before uploading, change the
baud rate in setup() to 57600. That's the only change from Firmata
V2.0 to V2.1. V2.0 is 115200 and V2.1 is 57600. Arduino now uses
57600 for everything.

The Analog Firmata works, however the Standard Firmata is totally
broken.

Hi all,
I'm in the middle of a workshop right now, and nothing I planned
works. All the users on OSX cannot use the Pduino objects. They
all
have latest Pd-Extended 0.41.4 and latest Pduino-0.5beta6. They
have
all successfully loaded the Standard-FirmataV2 (the Standard-
Firmata
is too big for the Atmega8) to an Arduino NG w/ Atmega8.
Then they open arduino-help.pd, use "devices" to determine the
proper port and set the port.
Then I have them test with "pinMode 13 1" followed by "digital 13
1". I see the RX LEDS flash, but the pin 13 LED does nothing.
Then I
open [pd DIGITAL-OUTPUT] and use that patch to flash all the
digital
outputs, after setting them to output mode in the main patch.
Again,
RX lights blink but nothing else.
After that I get long strings of the following:
UNKNOWN INPUT COMMAND: 8 32120
[arduino] warning currently unsupported 160
[arduino] warning currently unsupported 176
This is consistent across every installation, whether PPC or
Intel.
We can't really go further with Arduino without fixing this, so I
hope someone can help.
In contrast, I am using Pduino04.beta2 with Pd-extended-0.39 on my
machine and everything works fine. I have also been unble to run
any
Pduino with Pd-extended-0.41.4. Installing Pduino04.beta2 with
Pd-extended-0.39 on a couple of machines of the students hasn't
been
an effectivbe workaroundm however ([arduino-help.pd] crashes Pd in
this case).
Any suggestions welcome. Is there something I totally missed
here????
