[PD] problem with arduino digital ins - Pduino-0.5beta8 / Firmata 2.1

[Roman Haefeli]

You got me interested. I didn't know about an internal pull-up
resistore, but I asked in the #arduino channel and it seems there indeed
is such a thing. 

<rdz> hi all. is there an internal pull-up resistor for digitalIns?
<scgtrp> (digitalRead btw) yes, pinMode(n, INPUT); digitalWrite(n, 1);


I can't test with [arduino] right now, but it seems you could do:

[pinMode $1 0(
|
| [digital $1 1(
| /
[arduino]

Tell us if that really works.
