The normal Firmata doesn't support the Arduino Mega very well because the Mega has a very strange, custom abstraction layer for mapping the pins, as compared to the rest of the Arduinos.

Like other people said in this thread, you need to use Paul Stoffregen's version of Firmata for Arduino in order for it to work well with the Mega.

though with the Mega there's some lack in the well-behaviour that i would like
to report:

__DigitalInput
No DigitalInput on Pins 0 to 8 and 12&13

Putting a physical digital input on pin 9 to 11 in pduino the state for all these pins is always displayed on digital input 12!

__DigitalOutput
DigitalOutput only on Pin 10-13 and to get pin 13 high i've to checkerbox pin
15 in pduino

Seems there's some kind of trouble with the Pin settings and their
represenation in pduino.

this was on ubuntu 9.04 with standard firmata

Yes, not work, but in the old boards yes... I tested in my duemilanove

Mmm, strange ...

I tested the Firmata for mega... dont work and crashes...maybe in OSX

I use GNU/Linux Ubuntu 9.04... Barbie network...heheheheh

   Well.... check the arduino firmata program (arduino ide).... the
   outputs.... 13? 16? when i work with bluetooth i needed change the
baud... to 115.200, many programs in arduino ide have a problems...I
   test the firmata teensy...

   Best regards

       I also forgot to mention that this issue was mentioned on this
       list before.

       there is a link for a firmata firmware made for the mega from
       the made by the teensy guy.

       http://www.pjrc.com/tmp/firmata/

       check the list in here

           As far as I know, the pduino is not made for the arduino
           mega. so it could work, but you need to test it out. also
           the firmata firmware would need also some tweak since the
           mega has more outputs/inputs and analog ports

               hello,
When I use the abstraction [arduino] or [comport] object the numbers of the digital outputs (pins) of the arduino
               hardware
               don't match with the output's numbers of the patch.

               for example, when i send 1 to digital output "12" from
puredata the led connected to digital out 12 don't turn
               on but ...but turn on in digital out "14"...

               only works pins from 10- 13 but 0- 9 dont't work.

               When I've tested from the arduino's software with a
               sketch there aren't any problem, all works fine.

               Is it a [comport]r  or "Firmata" problem?
               I have osx 10.5 and arduino mega.

               Any suggestions?.....thanks a lot!!!
