## How to Connect
### Upload the Firmata Firmware to the Arduino
This section assumes you're using an Arduino Uno or another compatible board, and a UNIX operating system (OS X or Linux). If you already have the Firmata sketch installed, you can skip straight to the examples.
### OS X
First plug the Arduino into your computer via the USB/serial port.
A dialog box will appear telling you that a new network interface has been detected.
Click "Network Preferences...", and when it opens, simply click "Apply".
Once plugged in, use [Gort](http://gort.io)'s `gort scan serial` command to find out your connection info and serial port address:
```
$ gort scan serial
```
Use the `gort arduino install` command to install `avrdude`, this will allow you to upload firmata to the arduino:
```
$ gort arduino install
```
Once the avrdude uploader is installed we upload the firmata protocol to the arduino, use the arduino serial port address found when you ran `gort scan serial`:
```
$ gort arduino upload firmata /dev/tty.usbmodem1421
```
Now you are ready to connect and communicate with the Arduino using serial port connection
### Ubuntu
First plug the Arduino into your computer via the USB/serial port.
Once plugged in, use [Gort](http://gort.io)'s `gort scan serial` command to find out your connection info and serial port address:
```
$ gort scan serial
```
Use the `gort arduino install` command to install `avrdude`, this will allow you to upload firmata to the arduino:
```
$ gort arduino install
```
Once the avrdude uploader is installed we upload the firmata protocol to the arduino, use the arduino serial port address found when you ran `gort scan serial`, or leave it blank to use the default address `ttyACM0`:
```
$ gort arduino upload firmata /dev/ttyACM0
```
Now you are ready to connect and communicate with the Arduino using serial port connection
## Hardware Support
The following firmata devices have been tested and are currently supported:
