Firmwares

People made many custom firmware using Firmata to address specific needs and problems.

• StandardFirmataV2.0.tar.gz - this firmware is the last StandardFirmata that works on the ATMEGA8 chip. It also uses the old 115200 baud rate rather than the current 57600.
• DmxSimpleFirmata_v1.tar.gz - this firmware allows you to generate DMX lighting control commands via Firmata
• Teensy and Teensy++ - StandardFirmata pre-built for Teensy and Teensy++ boards (Firmata at native USB speed, 12 Mbit/sec)
