Arduino + Firmata + MadMapper tutorials

I want to make an interactive projection installation with Arduino. I am quite familiar with MadMapper but I am a super newbie to Arduino. I understand that MadMapper has FIRMATA that allows you to connect with Arduino. There is a basic tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muosra5uIAs) by MadMapper that explains well about that. However, I am totally at loss as to how to actually use any other sensor or interactivity other than what's shown in the tutorial. For example, I want to control the movie clip in the MadMapper by sound input in Arduino. I can find the Arduino code sample to use the microphone but I have no idea how I can modify that to work with Firmata. I have been searching but I have found only ONE tutorial (mentioned above) with the subject which is hard to believe.

Do you have any idea where I can find such tutorials or lessons? What do you recomend? Do you recommend that i study Arduino coding from scratch, then learn to manually code? Please advise. Thank you so much in advance!

The usual way to start with Arduino is to install the IDE and work your way through the basic examples to get a feel for the functions, syntax of the language etc; if you don't understand something, ask.

Others can advise on good books, tutorials and videos, I have no idea.

Which board are you planning to use?

Your topic does not indicate a problem with the IDE and hence has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum.
