[PD] Arduino (is drivin me mad

Ok, I checked in Windows XP, with a custom sketch, and all of my inputs work
flawlessly.
(The IDE seem to work much better in Windows than in Linux btw).

So the problem has to be somewhere between firmata and pduino.

I will try with the latest pduino...

Thanks for your help!
