[PD] Arduino (is drivin me mad

[Pierre Massat]

It makes no difference at all.

Here's what happens :
Inputs 2 through 7 work fine.
Inputs 8 and 9 work fine.

But if i use any of the inputs within the 2-7 group, and then use any input
of the second group (8 and 9), i have to trigger the later twice before i
can see something is happening.

It goes like this :
(in group 2 to 7)
First guy : "Pushed button 3."
Second guy (Pd) : "Ok, pushed button 3."
First guy : "Pushed button 7."
Second guy : "K, you pushed button 7."
First guy : "Pushed button 8."
Second guy : "Come again?"
First guy : "PUSHED BUTTON 8!"
Second guy : "Oh, yeah, button 8..."
First guy ; "Pushed button 3."
Second guy : "I'm sorry, what button?"
First guy : "BUTTON 3!!"
Second guy : "Yep, button 3.

I hope it is clear now what the problem is.
