+arduino_input
+
+Demonstrates the reading of digital and analog pins of an Arduino board
+running the StandardFirmata firmware.
+
+To use:
+* Using the Arduino software, upload the StandardFirmata example (located
+  in Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata) to your Arduino board.
+* Run this sketch and look at the list of serial ports printed in the
+  message area below. Note the index of the port corresponding to your
+  Arduino board (the numbering starts at 0).  (Unless your Arduino board
+  happens to be at index 0 in the list, the sketch probably won't work.
+  Stop it and proceed with the instructions.)
+* Modify the "arduino = Arduino(...)" line below, changing the number
+  in Arduino.list()[0] to the number corresponding to the serial port of
+  your Arduino board.  Alternatively, you can replace Arduino.list()[0]
+  with the name of the serial port, in double quotes, e.g. "COM5" on Windows
+  or "/dev/tty.usbmodem621" on Mac.
+* Run this sketch. The squares show the values of the digital inputs (HIGH
+  pins are filled, LOW pins are not). The circles show the values of the
+  analog inputs (the bigger the circle, the higher the reading on the
+  corresponding analog input pin). The pins are laid out as if the Arduino
+  were held with the logo upright (i.e. pin 13 is at the upper left). Note
+  that the readings from unconnected pins will fluctuate randomly. 
+
