+
+This package includes a Pd object and a matching Arduino firmware. It allows
+you to control the Arduino board from Pd without having to program in
+Arduino's C++
+
+To use it, first unzip the included Firmata-2.0 firmware and follow the README
+included in there. Then you'll be able to choose firmware from Arduino
+application, in File -> Open -> Library-Firmata menu.
+
+Once you have uploaded a firmware to your Arduino board, open up
+arduino-test.pd in Pd, then choose your serial port with the [open( message.
+
+For more on Arduino, go to: http://arduino.cc
+
+You can get more information about this firmware here:
+http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Interfacing/Firmata
+
+WARNING! This version of the arduino object for Pd will only work with 2.0
+versions of Firmata. It will NOT work with older versions of the firmware!
