[PD] Retrieving data directly into PD from HC-SR04 sensors connected to Arduino

[Pierre Massat]

Do you use a special library in Arduino to get data from your sensors? If
not Firmata + Pduino should work just fine. Are you sure you opened the
right port in Pduino? Did you configure the analog pins your sensors are
connected to as analog inputs in Pduino?
If you're not familiar at all with Pduino I suggest you try it with more
simple stuff (like push buttons and pots).

Cheers,

Pierre.
