So. I am helping a performance artist interface some battons to Max.MSP. We have everything working great except the Funnel IO configuration of the nodes at startup\power on.

Currently we have to run and re-run the processing server code - sometimes many times - before the digital IO configuration works. This seems to be due to firmata not getting told to configure - or not being told at the right time - or similar.

Funnel IO is essentially closed source - I cannot see the code anywhere (not the current version anyway).

We are getting desperate - this thing has to travel from Chicago to NYC. I cannot move on to finishing the hardware fabrication until the prototypes work!

Has anyone gotten configurations to work correctly with procession\fio\funnel IO\ xbee ? The unpredictable nature of the problem (it takes random re-runs to get the processing funnel IO server to configure the nodes) is maddening!

Thank you! thank you! (In adavance)

1. The relevant code in processing: ]// Creates FIO Funnel Object
   Fio fio;
   
   PFont myFont;
   // Creates MaxLink Processing to MAX/MSP interconnection Object "bouncer"
   MaxLink link = new MaxLink(this, "bouncer");
   
   void setup()
   { 
     size(600,600);
     frameRate(25);
     myFont = loadFont("CourierNewPSMT-24.vlw");
     textFont(myFont, 24);
     int[] orbIDs = {1,2,3};
   
   Configuration config  = Fio.FIRMATA;
       config.setDigitalPinMode(4,Fio.IN);   // Left Glove In 1
       config.setDigitalPinMode(5,Fio.IN);   // Left Glove In 2
       config.setDigitalPinMode(6,Fio.IN);   // Right Glove In 1
       config.setDigitalPinMode(7,Fio.IN);   // Right Glove In 2
       config.setDigitalPinMode(8,Fio.IN);   // Right Glove In 3                   
       config.setDigitalPinMode(9,Fio.PWM);  // Red LED Out
       config.setDigitalPinMode(10,Fio.PWM); // Green LED Out
       config.setDigitalPinMode(11,Fio.PWM); // Blue LED Out 
       config.setDigitalPinMode(12,Fio.IN);  // Left Glove In 3 
   fio = new Fio(this,orbIDs,config);
