Carica\Firmata\Pin
Carica Firmata provides an OOP abstraction for the pins on an Arduino. Values are stored and only send to the board if changed. The values can be changed using different properties.
- $pin->value is the original, internal value, the maximum value depends on the resolution of the mode.
- $pin->digital is a boolean value and sets the pin to low/high
- $pin->analog is a float between 0 and 1, the need value is calculated internally using the resolution of the current mode.
It is suggested to use the digital/analog properties to support different resolutions.
