StandardFirmata and Mega2560

Using Arduino Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer
1

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting all the pins from the board after installing firmata. Even when using the Firmata test program provided on firmata.org, not all pins show up and when running the program multiple times, different pins are missing or show up.
I did try to change the interval as explained on firmata.org but this didn't have any effect.

Is there something I'm missing or is the Mega2560 not fully supported?

Thanks!

An explanation of why on earth you wish to render your Arduino brain-dead.

I am not familiar with the test program, but if you are comfortable working with Python, you can try:

PyMata

or

pymata-aio

Both libraries support all of the mega2560 pins.

Thanks makerman - will try pymata.
