You would just send the data as an analog value, which gives you 14- bits of resolution. In the Arduino firmware, it would just take the values from the sensor and report them as a analog value using the Firmata protocol. The [arduino] object already understands the Firmata protocol, so it would just see the data as any other analog message.
