[PD] Pduino 0.5/Firmata 2.1 beta release

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Ok, I think I fixed the analog issue where sometimes the analog pins  
were doing the log scale/ pull-up resistor thing:

I tested this on a Diecimila, I hear there are troubles with the  
Arduino Pro and others, but I only have the older ones, so testing and  
bug reports on those are very helpful.

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during  
that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big  
Business, for Wall Street and the bankers.      - General Smedley Butler
