as i mentioned in my previous post the enabling of the analogIns was also somehow confusing for me, though now i found
out it's all in the arduino-help.pd by Gerda Strobl and Georg Holzmann!
in the last subpatch [pd SWITCHING-INPUTS] you'll find the apropriate messages. i don't know why this is commented with
(optional) but maybe this - also due to this thread - should be placed more prominent within the help-patch.
as mentioned by roman we're currently doing some improvements on the whole pduino dingdongs & i'll try to find a
solution - suggestions are welcome.
i guess it's a firmata peculiarity that you've explicit have to enable the analog pins as in arduino they are enabled by
default - but correct me if i'm wrong.

The exact same thing that Matteo mentioned about the old analogue method is
happening here, too. Tested with Diecimila and Duemilanove. I was also using
the test patch as a starting patch. My workaraound was simply to use the old
method (after for searching for quite some time).
I need to find the other problem with the digital Ins 1+2 giving wrong
values will first. I will post a patch to reproduce it asap but it might
take a couple of days to look for it. I had a workaround for it already but
I do not know if this workaround could still be applied with other boards
like the mega. As far as I remember it was a problem of the firmata sending
wrong data rather than the pd patch doing something wrong.

@Ingo and Matteo
I'm also quite interested in having the [arduino] working properly. I
didn't find any bugs recently, though. However, if you provide a
step-by-step guide about how to reproduce a problem, I (and probably
Olsen also) might be able to help,
Ok, the problem is that in my case I'm not sure whether I'm experiencing
an issue, an incorrectness in the test patch, or just my lack of
knowledge of how it is _expected_ to behave.
With both old and new versions of the StandardFirmata firmware the
following message enables analog input from pin A0 (i.e. pin 14):
"analogIns 0 1" (0 means A0 and 1 means on)
But in the test patch this is enclosed in a subpatch calles "old
analog/digital controls" so is it supposed to be obsolete?
The only other way I've seemed to find to enable input from analog pin
A0 is:
"pinMode 14 analog"
which seems to be the "suggested" way in the test patch (offered with
the pink grid on the upper-right part of the patch),
but this only works with OLD versions of StandardFirmata.
So it looks like either:
a. there is a third, current, non-obsolete, recommended way of doing
that which I don't know
b. the "suggested" way is the old one and the one documented as "old" is
actually the new one (but I don't think so, that's not what Chris said)
c. something isn't working right
The same happens with both Arduino 2009 (with the "StandardFirmata"
sketch) and with an Arduino UNO (with the
StandardFirmata_2_2_for_UNO_0_3). Both sketches are those that ship with
the latest package of the Arduino IDE for Debian sid.
The older StandardFirmata sketch where the "pinMode N analog" message
worked were taken from an older version of the arduino package for
Ubuntu from the official repository, but I don't remember the version
number.
