No.. The class is "Firmata", and the instance name in "Fimata1"

Maybe. I did not find example of this .. :S

No.. If I do this I make a new Firmata instance for each component exucute that line .. I need to use the component that put as a control and configure only once..


Consider than a new instance of firmata involves opening a new serial port.. and this is not possible ..

Try:
hFirmata = Object.New("Firmata")


Name of the object can be passed as argument.
