[PD] Arduino (is drivin me mad

Wed Jul 6 20:48:16 CEST 2011

Ok, i replaced mapping/debytemask and the rest as you suggested, but it
didn't work. Then i replaced 0 and 1 in the debyte object by 8 and 9, to no
avail.

I'm afraid I can't find a fix alone, as i have no idea what the incoming
data from the board looks like.

Anyway, thanks for helping me.
