well, one tought was that we could have a "how to make a lib" page on the website or in the documentation, with bits of code & notes as you mentioned, and then show this example. It also gives someone a good base to start a lib from.
I was actually thinking of making a "getting started" page on the website to explain what jal is, vars, make procedures, first circuit, etc, and as well, a "how to make a lib". If you would like me to do this, I suppose it will be in your documentation, and I know you already have blink a led how-to on jal blog. I have not seen bert's book either, but I have an idea of what would be in it. I think it is important for newbies to learn why we have libs in the first place, and how to make one. That way when they do start a project, they will have a lib to share. My overall goals: 1. make a contribution or two - done hd libs, will do sd card, mp3 decoder lib. 2. build a mp3 player with unlimited data space (even ipod is limited on space) using libs I have created, put it in my car with nice lcd. 3. help my bro get into electronics & jal 4. another possible project, build a small pc out of libs. keyboard lib, hard drive lib, lcd lib, serial lib, then load a compiled jal hex file from disk and run it using the pc I made. yes, your libs can just about make a pc! gotta do some research to see if loading a hex file to program memory (or ram) and running it is even possible. 5. try not to be a pain in the ass anymore :o) I changed the reqires line as you suggested in blink_a_led.jal, you do not have to include it in the releases if you feel it should not be there. > it is indeed a good idea to use delay.jal in stead of your own led_delay > procedure! if you want, we could put that note in the lib Matt. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
