Dear developers
I must congratulate you on the superb quality of the jallib libraries
and examples. These are the best I have seen for open source code.
I still program every day in Jal and Python and the biggest problem
is examples and how-to's. A few days ago, I made a new board with
MCP3424 quad 18 bit I2C AD converters, after I had a bad experience
with MCP3551 AD converters which stay at zero sometimes (Microchip
told me me to "toggle the power". Yeah, right.)
I remember struggling for weeks with a scope with my first I2C chips.
Now the first version of the program works right away! This gives me
confidence to etch a board and solder all SMD components onto it,
before I even write one letter of JAL, which cuts development time
tremendously: no more fiddling with breadboards.
Yes, if I can talk to a new device I submit my code to the
depository. I will even do that for the unreliable MCP3551, with a
dire warning to stay away from this AD converter.
I'm currently building with William Welch a CAN system for an SOFC
system, with JAL nodes that measure temperature, regulate a kW of
heating power and apply and measure 50 Amps through ceramic parts at
1000C. I plan to release all software in jallib, for instance the PID
controller that works in Python now, but will be ported to JAL.
