What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using the millis() function and the Firmata.processInput() function in the
same program.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is for the serial monitor to see the value of millis() at
roughly 1000 increments (this is indeed what I see when I comment out the line
"Frimata.processInput()" (see pasted serial output below). Instead, I see
correct output until the millis() begins to return numbers large enough to
require more than two bytes. At this point, the numbers that I see become very
large (again, see the pasted serial output below).
What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system? Which Arduino board are you using?
Arduino version 22
Windows 7
Arduino Uno
