Re: [Firmata-devel] Updating the Processing Firmata library to support more boards (and work w/o Processing).

[David A. M. <da...@me...>]

Thanks for the suggestions.

BTW, if anyone wants to try the updated version, you can get a zip here:
https://github.com/firmata/processing/blob/dev/processing-arduino.zip?raw=true

I'm planning to push this to the Processing contributed library system
soon, so please try it out if you get a chance.

David
