[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Dorkboard-firmata-PD

[Michael Bunsen]

I have had good success with using firmata and puredata (via pyduino),
not specifically on a dorkboard though. It's been nice to have on
arduino around with firmata loaded. I've been able to do a few quick
projects without thinking about doing any reprogramming.

Let me know if you need some help with pyduino, I couldn't find any
documentation when I started (though still haven't gone beyond the
basics).
