To control an LED, first you need to set the pin to output mode.  You  
do that with the yellow bar at the top of the help patch.  Select  
which pin, then turn on the yellow toggle.  That will turn on output  
mode for that pin.  Now you can send the bitmasks.  See the [pd  
sending digital outs] subpatch I added to the arduino-help.pd

I just fixed up the object and help patch to make this clearer.  I  
attached the new version, along with [bytemask] and [debytemask] to  
make this stuff easier.

The newest version of the [comport] object, which [arduino] is based  
on, supports up to 99 comports, just try higher numbers in an [open 
( message, i.e. [open 5( or [open 23(.
