How has the Arduino been performing with MaxMSP/Jitter?
I'm in a jam and need to get MaxMSP/Jitter to toggle 15 digital outs on some controller board. I was using Teleo, but my board stopped working and the device has been discontinued and orphaned. Make controllers are out of stock.
Would you all recommend using MaxMSP/Jitter with the Arduino? I am somewhat handy with software and microcontrollers, but not super seasoned. I have to load in my piece for exhibition in front of 2000 people on Sunday.
How has the Arduino been performing with MaxMSP/Jitter? I'm not taking in any inputs, only digital outs. The digital outs would have to operate sometimes simultaneously, sometimes independently, and be on for a specified amount of time. I would also need to control the number of digital outs on at the same time, i.e. no more than 5 on at once.
we have refined the process over at Maxuino.org
it is a max patch that translates everything for the firmata "firmware" you can load onto your arduino. the only issue you might have is that for 15 digital outs you probably have to go with an Arduino mega. feel free to contact us if you need help.

Which USB or ethernet drivers and Mac OS do you recommend using with the Arduino extensions (i.e., which are the sure-fire ones that have been tested)?
I suppose I can't network together some Arduino diecimilas to get more outs? I have 5 of them, in various versions.
the ftdi drivers they pass out with the arduino IDE work great. I have never tried making two serial objects in max and pointing them to different ports, but it might be possible, and I believe I have heard of others doing it. as to the OS, 10.5 or 10.6 are working great with max and arduino and maxuino.
