   Looking for some advice on connecting it to an Arduino/J5, specifically should I control it via the Serial/UART or via GPIO pins

   Support is inbound! firmata/firmata.js#97

   I'll keep this open until we can come back to it :)

   Hey I see support landed over with firmata!

   I'm looking forward to checking it out. I have a question, however-- can the ".serialConfig" (et al) be utilized within the confines of the J5 API? Or is that support still on it's way?

   @topkoa All the firmata serial commands are exposed on the board.io object (which by default is an instance of firmata) so:

   var five = require("johnny-five");
   var board = new five.Board();
   
   board.on("ready", function() {
     this.io.serialConfig({ portId: 8, baud: 9600, rxPin: 10, txPin: 11 });
     this.io.serialRead(8, function(data) {
       console.log(data);
     });
   });
   

   The constants for portID's are defined in firmata. I just used "8" which is SW_SERIAL0.

   Hi @topkoa

   Johnny-Five contributors and maintainers are loathe to close issues where someone has a need. We don't want anyone to ever feel that we don't care, but we just haven't gotten to this feature yet. Rather than leave it languishing as an open issue we have created a Requested Features page and added this devices request under the new class "Sound Generator/Synthesizer" listed there.
