ArduinoFirmata (2012)

Hans-Christoph Steiner (PD dev) and a few others did a piece of ardino code wich turns basically your arduino into a fully external configurable I/O box.

to quote him:
"Basically, I have established a protocol for talking to the Arduino from the host software. It allows you to switch pins from input/output/pwm, and it allows you to read and write, of course ...
If you are interested, I can help you use this firmware with an whatever software. The protocol is quite simple. We will all benefit if we use a common firmware. Then Arduino becomes a really cheap sensorbox in addition to all the rest of the stuff you can already do with Arduino."
