I've been using micro-controllers with my fischertechnik models but wanted to go inside the Embedded Computing world and learn I²C protocol.
So I started with an Arduino with four main goals:

After a while, I went 32-bit with the powerful chipKIT Uno32 board. Later on came the Wiring S and the 16-bit lower-power LaunchPad boards, the 32-bit LeafLabs Maple and finally the 32-bit ARM-based LaunchPads.
Looking for a more advanced IDE, I've developed embedXcode, a template for Xcode that supports the most popular Processing-based Wiring-derived Arduino-like boards. Among the major projects, I'm focusing on screens, starting with a GPU-based screen and then standard SPI and parallel screens as well as other promising ultra-low power technologies like memory display and e-paper. I'm also exploring the Internet of Things. |
