About

Open source chrome plugin to control an Arduino that has been loaded with firmata.

This app is based on the awesome prototype created by Tim Caswell (@creationix)


I recommend enabling:
chrome://flags/#debug-packed-apps
This will allow you to play with the board object in chrome dev tools console.

update:
Version 0.2.0 now handles Chrome's recent change's to its serial API.
