title: Talking to Arduino from Scala
body: <p>Is there a standard way to control an Arduino from Scala? If not I am interested in hacking one together, but am unsure of where I should start. The Firmata library seemed like the way to go but there is no Java or Scala interface. SPDE supports Processing pretty well, but I see no Arduino functionality there. I also have a few snippets of Java&lt;->Arduino example code scoured from the Arduino playground and other sources, but nothing comprehensive.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone knows of a Scala or straight Java (I can just wrap it in Scala) way to do this, or has suggestions on rolling my own interface, I would like to hear about it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
