[IAEP] Arduino and XO-1

Maybe the baud rate or the device name do not match. 

Somewhere in the Arduino plugin code it searches for ttyusbn where n=1,2,3 ...

Your Arduino board could be ttyusbn or ttyacmn where n increments each time you replug the Arduino. Somewhere, I think /dev , you can see what your Arduino is.

Somewhere in the Firmata listing the baud rate is set, check its the same in the plugin code.
