Okay, I've been searching around this afternoon for a definitive answer on this but can't quite find it.

Is the Arduino Mega 2560 completely compatible with Maxuino? I've heard reports that Firmata doesn't work properly with the Mega so it might not work but Maxuino offers the option.

I've got experience using Maxuino with my Duemillanove and I find it really easy and effective to use. I need more outputs for a project and I've got my eyes on a Mega.

if you have time/inclination, can you hack open the Arduino code and take out what you need from it and the relevant Maxuino patch? I don't use Maxuino, I just roll my own code/patches as and when I need them, specifically for multiple sensor input. My quirky ethos is, if I don't know what it is doing and why (Maxuino) then I can't troubleshoot it.

I agree with Brendan , I have my own patch for arduino,

do not take me wrong : Maxuino it's great

some times I need 1 or 2 analogs inputs and easy for me to work with a simple interface.

its simple but efficient.

My Arduino coding has never gone much beyond basic, independent operation (controlling LEDs with buttons, servos with pots etc.). I chose Maxuino for a one-stop shop for communication between Max and the Arduino and haven't really looked back since. It allows me to focus on the Max side of things as much as possible.

I guess I'll have to get back into programming the board myself. I got a little handier with Processing recently so it shouldn't be too hard.

If anyone has experience of using a Mega with Maxuino, I'd still be interested to hear.

it will be very easy to extend this code/patch of mine, to cover inputs A0-A15 on the Mega, and parse them in Max:

I´m using Maxuino with an Arduino Mega right now; what was the issue? It seems to work without trouble

I don't know; I guessed the OP was looking for an increased number of analog inputs, and those of us unfamiliar with Maxuino assumed it is limited to 6.

I was actually more concerned about the outputs, although it's not too urgent right now.

Thanks for posting your tips though, Brendan.

I just use the digPins for LEDs, all my focus is on analog in, sorry not to be more help....
