Hi Jim,
Thanks for the note. I've had an interesting discussion going on the
Raspberry Pi forum about my project. If anyone's interested, they can
look here.
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=83554
I've decided to go with free Pascal as a language and their Lazarus
IDE. The primary reason is that I can run the IDE and the debugger
right on the Pi. I also like their write once compile anywhere
strategy. I've got a 750 page book about it on order from Europe.
I wonder if you could call the library you mentioned from Pascal. If
you have a link to that, I might like to look at it.
Question, how do you post your message in such a way so replies also
come to you and not just the list, although I wouldn't normally do that
myself, but I'm curious about the method.
Sincerely
Ron

I know this is a bit old, but for those who are familiar/comfortable
with the Arduino development environment, Gordon has written a set of
libraries that work very much like the Arduino "wiring" libraries for
C and C++. It makes accessing the Pi GPIO pins child's play. For
instance, a snippet of code to turn on a light connected to pin 4
might look like:
pinMode(4,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(4,HIGH);
Lots of other rather nice features patterned on the Arduino libraries.
If you don't know C, it's not a difficult language to learn. C++ on
the other hand ...
Jim.

At this point, I've aquired a Raspberry Pi B+, power supply (5v 2a),
usb power cord, hdmi cable, and memory card. I'm supplying keyboard,
mouse, and wifi adapter that I already had. I also bought a couple
of how to bookazines. I'm into it about $ 120, and for now, I have
to save up a while before buying more. For the moment, I'm going to
focus on learning how the Pi works, and how the GPIO pins work, and
how to attach sensors, buffers, and drivers. I'm also going to work
on learning some GO or Ruby programming with the device. While the
recommended beginner languages for the device are Python and Scratch,
I think I would like the others better based on my reading about
their features. Hopefully, I'll actually get to the point where I can
drive some coils.

call on the phone. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such. I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
