Does FrimataPlus support other client libs? #42

Hi, I just like to know if your version of firmata (FirmataPlus) works with other firmata client libraries like johnny-five. I would like to use PyMata and FirmataPlus on my projects, but my projects also require other languages (javascript mainly) to be able to connect to the same Arduino.

FirmataPlus for the PyMata library is based on StandardFirmata 2.5.1. It adds some features to that library to support stepper motors, Sonar Ping Devices (HC-SR04), Piezo devices and Rotary Encoders. I don't know if Johnny-Five supports those additional features and if it does, whether or not it is compatible with FirmataPlus. For all other standard Firmata features, it should work. I have not worked with Johnny-Five in several years, so I have no recent data to share.

If you have any specific questions, I would be happy to share any knowledge that I may have.

I have tested FirmataPlus with Johnny-Five (latest nmp of johnny-five for node-red) and the features of standard firmata seem to work just fine.
