The Future of Rhyduino

For my pre-Firmata projects, I used the tools and libraries in Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio to write my PC <-> Arduino code; I worked on the team that invented the foundation that became Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio, so I’ve been fond if it from the start. Once I’ve completely implemented the Firmata 2.1 protocol in Rhyduino, I will be creating a Rhyduino service for Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio. If I’m feeling ambitious at the time, I may create an Arduino emulator for use in the MSRDS simulation environment.

I see that the Firmata protocol has grown to provide servo control and I2C communication features, but for my needs there are two critical components that are still missing:
