Arduino Firmata Actor

We’ll try to release an ARM-compatible version at some point in the near future, but for now it is Intel-only.

I'm eager to progress with @bonemap 's Arduino sensor setup!

 Hi Simon,

Apologies for the confusion. Let's hope that there is a chance it can be updated for Apple silicon at some point.

@bonemap @Woland thank you both for your responses.

Hi all,

For an installation I am making with a PIR sensor, Arduino and Isadora, I downloaded the Arduino Firmata plugin and ran the script to install it. But unfortunately, when I search for the firmata actor in Isadora, it doesn't pop up. On my friends laptop it did work. The difference between me and her is that I have a new macbook with the m1 chip, could that be a reason why it's not working?

Any help is extremely welcome! Thank you!

Hi there!

First of all, welcome to the Isadora community!

That is correct, the Firmata actor has not been built for M1 yet. For now you can run Isadora in Rosetta mode to take advantage of the Firmata actor.

Let us know or that solves your question.
