Arduino communication in HH4

[fdonato]

Hello everyone,

Can't find any discussion about sending commands to an Arduino board running Standard Firmata. Despite the Midi/Firmata input of the Serial Port module seems to be tailored for this purpose, I did not succeed to figure out the correct protocol needed to send some basic commands like :

pinMode 3 pwm

or

analog 3 0.6

for example which is done pretty simply in PD with pduino.
Does anyone knows something about it ? I'd like to use an arduino board to control some leds from Usine and to send DMX via an adapter.
Thanks

François

Normally the MIDI input should work to send FIRMATA commands.
Do you know the firmata command for pinmode ?

Hi Olivier, thanks for answering and sorry I see your post only now. I finally managed to send data to an arduino from HH4 but meanwhile, I solved the DMX part of my problem using an Enttec interface
I have also a Eurolite USM-DMX Pro interface but can't make it work with HH4, it loses each time communication after a few seconds (green status led turning red) while working perfectly with QLC+ or DMXControl. I suppose there is a problem with the basic DMX device driver, it appears as an Enttec OPEN DMX USB in the interface list although it switches to the PRO USB-DMX driver in the other softwares.

personally I use Art-Net devices to get rid of all connections and drivers problems...

I guess I should do the same, thanks for the advice
