I ordered the GPIO, heatsink and the voltage reg.

Re: Base GPIO code to work from?

Here's another 'interesting' construct; The function get_adc() It returns an int. The problem is the variable it returns (adcval) is a global, meaning it is defined outside the function. The variable is not used anywhere but inside get_adc() There are 2 better solution to this. 1. move the variable ...

Re: What GPIO kit versions would you like to see?

I don't know if you guys remember the old Heathkits electronic kits or not. I barely do. this was back from the days when it took 6-8 weeks after they received your check before you got the parts you ordered...

Re: What GPIO kit versions would you like to see?

I like the modular approach. Make it as modular as you can stand, I know it would be a hassle to manage each possible I/O type as a separate item. Thats up to you. I'd be perfectly happy if I could get the Base kit and then a kit of 8 coil drivers, or 8 EGT channels or whatever. So If I want say 4 E...

Re: Base GPIO code to work from?

I finally had time to peruse the source and have a couple of comments. These comments apply especially to new programmers. Firstly I think the code looks solid, I have no issues there.
