Firmata I/O
This module can connect with any device speaking the Firmata Protocol via a serial port.
Usage
Configure as usual by setting a serial device to connect to.
Note
If the device does not show up for selection or you get a permission error, you may need to add yourself to the dialout group to use serial devices. In order to do that, open a terminal and enter sudo adduser $USER dialout, confirming with you administrator password. Then log in again.
This module needs another module to be useful.
