Hi. Again.
What got me into the world of MCU's was the arduinos - such easy start to get nice things done as there are plenty of libraries available - and not just any libraries, there is huge amount of "professionally written" libraries, I mean real nice and polished code..
Let's take on for example.. Adafruit has tutorial for DHTXX at http://learn.adafruit.com/dht and the library can be found from here: https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library
Code is really nice, I tried to port it for the mapple without success, actually I just made sure it compiles by adding sei() and cli() and changing Serial.prin* to SerialUSB.prin - but this isn't enough.. I have another DHT11 library that seems to work - I ported it from Arduino too - but code on that library.. Well, it ain't much a library, it's application that has functions that could be moved to a library, but I am not willing to do that as the program code is ugly and in-efficient.. Suites nicely if the maple's only job is to monitor temperature and output it to serial..
Anyway, back to the point.. I see many here doing lots of stuff.. And I know there are many here that aren't writing that much on the forum - time wasted on writing forum topics is from my time that I could had consumed on writing my code :)
Where are the mapple libraries? And don't say: in the wiki - there's few libraries, that's true.. But people should publish libraries.. Nah.. Maybe I just shouldn't be on the forum, and should be writing my code that I'll keep with me 'till grave secretly and never share any..
I know my work with rs485 isn't much, and I shouldn't talk so much about it as it might define me here, but I got something done that I think someone else could use and have as a starting point for project of his/her own and I just think other people should do the same.. Ofcourse if your work is going to be commercial, I realize you are going to keep the code.. But for most of us, I guess our projects are hobbies..
