Hi,
I'm tinkering with the Arduino controller in combination with Flash using AS3Glue. I have tried interfacing flash with the Parallax Ping Sensor only to realize that the standard firmata, does not support such a sensor.
My initial thought is to extend the Standard Firmata or add code to the existing sketch which uses David A Mellis ping sensor example code.
Are there any Arduino gurus out there that have gone down this road? What are the pitfalls or issues I may run into? What is the proper way to extend the firmata sketch? Should I just hack it?
I know I could resolve the situation by writing my own socket connection class in flash and just uploading David's code to read the sensor data, but this would not be a desired solution, since I want to be able to also add other inputs(sensors). Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts before I start developing code?
Thanks in advance!
