question...but could it be that Pduino is optimised for sensors working on a
supply of 5v. because the phidget voltage dividers i've got my FSRs attached to
come with a potentiometer that alters the resistance of the circuit...with
pduino i can only activate 2 at a time before it all grinds to a halt...on
arduino2PD i can activate all six without any problem. Strange.

<DIV>I've never run on Vista before, so I can't say much about that. I have run
on Debian, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X. It shouldn't matter what is generating the data
on the arduino, the messages coming to Pd via the serial port should be all the
same. </DIV>

<DIV>Are you using the latest version:</DIV>

<DIV>Which program crashes? Which version are you using? You will get a lot of
data, from 6 sensors, Pduino/Firmata will read them all every 20ms. I have
never seen a crash using [arduino], except when I unplug the arduino when Pd
is connected to it, so I suspect the problem lies elsewhere. </DIV>
