Cyrano provides a Python interface to control the Arduino Duemilanove device via a serial connection.

Instructions of use (Debian/Ubuntu):
====================================
- Dependencies: gcc-avr, avr-libc, avrdude

- Getting the firmware:
    - From the cyrano webpage:
      Go to 'http://github.com/debiatan/cyrano/downloads' and download the most
      recent version of the file 'cyrano.hex'. Flash it with your favorite tool.
      (To do it using avrdude, try 'avrdude -V -F -C /etc/avrdude.conf -p atmega328p -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -c stk500v1 -b 57600 -U flash:w:cyrano.hex').

    - Building it from source:
        - Getting the source:
            - Through git:
                Install the package git-core.
                Run 'git clone git://github.com/debiatan/cyrano.git'.
            - Through your web browser:
                Visit 'http://github.com/debiatan/cyrano'
                Click on 'download'.
        - Building and flashing the firmware:
            Install the following packages: gcc-avr avr-libc binutils-avr 
                                            avrdude.
            Run 'make' inside the 'cyrano' folder to generate the file 
            'cyrano.hex'.
            Connect the arduino via USB. Normally, it will be assigned the 
            device identifier '/dev/ttyUSB0'.
            Run 'make upload'. If you get a timeout, try pressing the reset 
            button in the Duemilanove and quickly running 'make upload'.

- Accessing the Duemilanove from python:
    Install the package python-serial.
    The 'Pyrano' class makes available to the user the calls:
        - pinMode(pin, mode)
        - digitalRead(pin)
        - digitalWrite(pin, value)
        - analogReference(type)
        - analogRead(pin)
        - analogWrite(pin, value)
    They share the semantics described by the low-level arduino API:
