I did test it with the Duemilanove. But I also tested Diecimila and Uno. To me the problem looks like "unfortunate design" in the firmata. The buttons 2-9 don't somehow connect the same 8-bit word. It might simply be a bug in the firmata. Hans hasn't reacted to it the last 2 or 3 times I mentioned it.
I have changed my arduino patch to get it to work for what I need with the Diecimila to Uno. I don't like to submit any workarounds if I don't have a mega available. I don't know how the rest of the pins are set up in blocks. It might also break something else since I only use part of the functions. I really think Hans is the one who should look into this problem to determine whether it is a pduino or firmata bug. I am really surprised that so few people have problems with this. Or maybe they do and simply cannot figure out where the problem comes from? Ingo > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Roman Haefeli [mailto:reduz...@gmail.com] > Gesendet: Freitag, 9.
