Hi! I am a Django Developer and new to arduino. I am trying to light up a LED using the basic usage code from the docs

from pyfirmata import Arduino, util
board = ArduinoMega("COM4")
board.digital[8].write(1)

But I just cant make it work. Can you help me with this? I am using arduino mega 2560 and running on windows 7.

Hi, there is a lot that could be wrong. Can you read any values? Does it work if you try the built-in led (digital 11 if I remember correctly)?
