+Usage
+=====
+
+Communication with Arduino boards is done via the Firmata[1] protocol. 
+You will need to prepare your board by using the standard Arduino IDE 
+to upload the latest Firmata code (version 2.1 is recommended). Note that 
+the version of Firmata supplied with v17 of the IDE is a bit buggy.
+
+The board usually shows up as /dev/ttyUSBx (x is number) in a Linux system, 
+assuming that the connection is over USB-serial. Your user account needs to 
+be in the 'uucp' group to access the device. Also, the baud-rate is very 
+important for things to work. The baud-rate in the Firmata code, and the 
+rate specified in the taarduino.py file should match.
+
+The device name is hardcoded to /dev/ttyUSB0, edit taarduino.py to use 
+something else. Patches to autodetect the correct device are most welcome :-).
