Hi all..
I've been having troubles reading the digital inputs of an arduino duemilanove (328) using the pduino firmware. I mean having troubles like not reading anything from them at all.
Analog ins and digital outs work fine, but the DI do not want to read anything. I've checked that they are OK (I can effectively read them) with other sketches including the button read example from the arduino website, so there are no hardware issues.
I've tried he latest version of the pduino firmware, and went all the way back to pduino 0.4 with firmata 2.0. I even changed the moocow objects for flatspace as someone hinted somewhere here but to no avail (yes, I'm on windows XP).
I've tried the pduino-help and pduino-test patches included with the download and everything works except the digital input reading.
.. and of course, the digital ports are enabled and the pins' output mode are in 0 (input) and the serial port is set correctly both with the selector and inside the [arduino] object (just in case)
The toggle objects do not change at all in the lower right section of the pduino-test patch. As a matter of fact nothing comes out of any [route digital] object, even if it is directly connected to the [arduino] object
Am I missing something here?
any help would be appreciated

thanks

I have the same problem with the latest Pduino-0.5beta6, StandardFirmata. I can only read the digital input with the SimpleDigitalFirmata. I manage to have the PWM output working one day, but until now it doesnt work for me.

I found the solution on pd-list:

On Switching Inputs patch, the message should be [digitalIns 1 1( where the first number is the port# and the second is whether to enable it or not. (PORT0==pins 0-7, PORT1==pins 8-13, PORT2==analog pins).

It's working perfectly now!

I have the same problem, but your solution didn't help. I'm using Arduino Mega and a monome-like button which works fine when I try other things with the Arduino-software. And the analog ins work.

Help! (I'll make a new thread if no one answers.)

The Mega board requires a different firmata - don't know if you're aware of it. Don't have my board right here with me so I can't test the digital ins.

No, didn't know that. Trying to find what firmata to use, but can't. Not sure if it's just another download or just another of those you pick when loading up the Arduino. ? If someone can help me with what to do, please tell me!

Btw: Using Mac OS X.5.8

Edit again: Tried all the firmatas in Firmata 2.1 and none of them work for digital ins. AllInputs-, Standard- and SimpleAnalog- are the only ones that work for analog ins.

where is the switching inputs patch on pduino, i am having this issue at the moment!
