It's more a general theme in the discussion, I think the author's background is web so the casual examples mention it, at least in the bits I browsed - he was talking about erlang as a solution for distributed databases. The main examples for each language seemed standard compsci problems

Hi Roman, I just messed around with the rewrite and - as you mentioned - you didn't fix any of the bugs. I even think I send you a mail about the digital pins 2 3 and provided a fix for it here at the forum. Of course it's still there! About the other things: - The test patch has still no

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

I basically haven't used an Arduino in 2 years, so I am a poor candidate for debugging this stuff. Roman and Olsen are much better candidates for this job. The digital input pins are reported using the hardware-level ports, the hardware is organized around pins 0-7 being one port, 8-15,
