code from the arduino tutorial into the firmata firmware , first the
definitions, then the void setup section and then the write_pot(0,0)
command to control the device into the loop section.? As you can tell I
have little idea how to do this.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>It would be possible to add support to Firmata for this, but it's not
currently there. I don't have any of these chips, any volunteers? Patches
welcome :D</DIV>
