What is firmata?
https://github.com/firmata/protocol

tfirmata is a Tcl implementation of Arduino Firmata:

   * Original code: https://github.com/pdt/tfirmata
   * documentation: http://www.p-code.org/tfirmata
   * an enhanced version: http://www.androwish.org/index.html/dir?ci=68647d69a65029d3&name=assets/tfirmata/src

The original tfirmata did not work for me on Windows7, I suspect there is an endless loop on the tfirmata::open cmd.

The enhanced version (by [chw]) worked just fine, with the following code as a minimum example:

 console show
 package require tfirmata
 set bd [tfirmata::open COM8]
 
 $bd mode 13 out
 
 for {set i 1} {$i <20} {incr i} {
    $bd dset 13 1
    tfirmata::sleep 250
    $bd dset 13 0
    tfirmata::sleep 250
    puts $i
 }
 puts done...
