Firmata example?

[onnimikki]

Hi,

great project. Is there a rudimentary Firmata + Arduino example around? Just looking for something to start exploring how diozero works with a Firmata-enabled Arduino. I've been using Firmata4j up until now and was curious to see how diozero does things differently.

thanks,
James

I would strongly recommend using the diozero APIs with the Firmata provider as per the instructions here: https://www.diozero.com/concepts/remotecontrol.html#firmata-for-microcontrollers

You could use the Firmata API that is exposed by the Firmata provider directly but I wouldn’t recommend it as it is quite low level and not portable across devices. I had to do that recently for testing 1-Wire device support, example here: https://github.com/mattjlewis/diozero/blob/main/diozero-provider-firmata/src/main/java/com/diozero/internal/provider/firmata/adapter/example/OneWireTest.java
