Add a Arduino specific README file
  
1Usage

4Communication with Arduino boards is done via the Firmata[1] protocol.
5You will need to prepare your board by using the standard Arduino IDE
6to upload the latest Firmata code (version 2.1 is recommended). Note that
7the version of Firmata supplied with v17 of the IDE is a bit buggy.

9The board usually shows up as /dev/ttyUSBx (x is number) in a Linux system,
10assuming that the connection is over USB-serial. Your user account needs to
11be in the 'uucp' group to access the device. Also, the baud-rate is very
12important for things to work. The baud-rate in the Firmata code, and the
13rate specified in the taarduino.py file should match.
14
15The device name is hardcoded to /dev/ttyUSB0, edit taarduino.py to use
16something else. Patches to autodetect the correct device are most welcome :-).
