I've been using Max-Msp to interface with Phidgets controllers and it's been working pretty well. I now am trying to interface to 6 different 8/8/8 controllers in a single patch. TO do that. I need to pass in the unique serial numbers of each controller. You can hard code the id directly on the instance call to the PhidgetInterfaceKit call like this

(where 123456 is the unique id for the controller) this works fine

but I want to pass it in as a message... like this

Usage: PhidgetInterfaceKit [serial] [remote ["serverid" ["password"]]] | [remoteip serverip port ["password"]]

[PhidgetInterfaceKit @id]    

Invalid arguments.

I haven't used the PhidgetInterfaceKit object but have you tried it without the "@id" part?
