# Firmata [](https://gitter.im/firmata/arduino?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) Firmata is a protocol for communicating with microcontrollers from software on a host computer. The [protocol](https://github.com/firmata/protocol) can be implemented in firmware on any microcontroller architecture as well as software on any host computer software package. The Arduino repository described here is a Firmata library for Arduino and Arduino-compatible devices. If you would like to contribute to Firmata, please see the [Contributing](#contributing) section below. # Contents - [Usage](#usage) - [Firmata Client Libraries](#firmata-client-libraries) - [Updating Firmata in the Arduino IDE - Arduino 1.6.4 and higher](#updating-firmata-in-the-arduino-ide---arduino-164-and-higher) - [Cloning Firmata](#cloning-firmata) - [Updating Firmata in the Arduino IDE - older versions (<= 1.6.3 or 1.0.x)](#updating-firmata-in-the-arduino-ide---older-versions--163-or-10x) - [Mac OSX:](#mac-osx) - [Windows](#windows) - [Linux](#linux) - [Using the Source code rather than release archive (only for versions older than Arduino 1.6.3)](#using-the-source-code-rather-than-release-archive-only-for-versions-older-than-arduino-163) - [Contributing](#contributing) ## Usage There are two main models of usage of Firmata. In one model, the author of the Arduino sketch uses the various methods provided by the Firmata library to selectively send and receive data between the Arduino device and the software running on the host computer. For example, a user can send analog data to the host using ``` Firmata.sendAnalog(analogPin, analogRead(analogPin)) ``` or send data packed in a string using ``` Firmata.sendString(stringToSend) ```. See File -> Examples -> Firmata -> AnalogFirmata & EchoString respectively for examples. The second and more common model is to load a general purpose sketch called StandardFirmata (or one of the variants such as StandardFirmataPlus or StandardFirmataEthernet depending on your needs) on the Arduino board and then use the host computer exclusively to interact with the Arduino board. StandardFirmata is located in the Arduino IDE in File -> Examples -> Firmata. ## Firmata Client Libraries Most of the time you will be interacting with Arduino with a client library on the host computers.

Refer to the respective projects for details. ## Updating Firmata in the Arduino IDE - Arduino 1.6.4 and higher If you want to update to the latest stable version: 1. Open the Arduino IDE and navigate to: `Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries` 2. Filter by "Firmata" and click on the "Firmata by Firmata Developers" item in the list of results. 3. Click the `Select version` dropdown and select the most recent version (note you can also install previous versions) 4. Click `Install`. ### Cloning Firmata If you are contributing to Firmata or otherwise need a version newer than the latest tagged release, you can clone Firmata directly to your Arduino/libraries/ directory (where 3rd party libraries are installed). This only works for Arduino 1.6.4 and higher, for older versions you need to clone into the Arduino application directory (see section below titled "Using the Source code rather than release archive"). Be sure to change the name to Firmata as follows: ```bash $ git clone git@github.com:firmata/arduino.git ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/Firmata ``` *Update path above if you're using Windows or Linux or changed the default Arduino directory on OS X* ## Updating Firmata in the Arduino IDE - older versions (<= 1.6.3 or 1.0.x) Download the latest [release](https://github.com/firmata/arduino/releases/tag/2.5.8) (for Arduino 1.0.x or Arduino 1.5.6 or higher) and replace the existing Firmata folder in your Arduino application. See the instructions below for your platform. *Note that Arduino 1.5.0 - 1.5.5 are not supported. Please use Arduino 1.5.6 or higher (or Arduino 1.0.5 or 1.0.6).* ### Mac OSX: The Firmata library is contained within the Arduino package. 1. Navigate to the Arduino application 2. Right click on the application icon and select `Show Package Contents` 3. Navigate to: `/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/` and replace the existing `Firmata` folder with latest [Firmata release](https://github.com/firmata/arduino/releases/tag/2.5.8) (note there is a different download for Arduino 1.0.x vs 1.6.x) 4. Restart the Arduino application and the latest version of Firmata will be available. *If
