This would break the jallib wrapper and the sample generation action, since it works with 2 files only.

Maybe by changing a few things on the board, you can produce *very* interesting prototype boards. Few things like some connectors to "export" pins. Later these boards could also be the base of some jaluino (jal + arduino) boards :) Seb -- Sébastien LELONG http://www.sirloon.net http://sirbot.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
