[solved]Arduino input node not connecting

General
1

I decided to try out the Arduino node but I can't get the input one to work.
I loaded standardFirmata onto a Uno.

The output blinking pin 13 is working fine.

Input node just says connecting...

Any ideas?

Node-RED 0.18.5 node.js 8.9.4 Win10

I have my system working with an arduino mega and works great, as you said just need to flash arduino with standardFirmdata and set properly the configuration of the port, do you have it working on windows? I have it on my raspberry and port is like this:
