MPGuino release one workspace

[dcb]

I have posted on arduino.cc. Hopefully it is something simple. But this might be where I have to part ways with Arduino and squirrel away a copy of 0011 for the DIYers. I don't think I can pull 2500 bytes out AND not get any room for new stuff out of the deal.

Or just keep a code like you have now for us, then work with a 328 for others that want the extra stuff. I wanted mine for just current and instant mpg.

There are a lot of atmega168s out there, I would definitely leave a 168 compatible solution together for folks to use (even though you have to use version 0011 of arduino for now).

It may come from new stuff in arduino-0012\hardware\cores\arduino and they are compiled/linked with your application.

I made test here with my obduino.pde

arduino-0011 12618 bytes
arduino-0012 12268 bytes

So I gained 350 bytes! And it's my latest application with multiple screen, menu configuration, etc.

Note that I do not use any OO in my code, I do not use their Print class or whatever too. You can take a look at my code for my LCD functions andalso the read/write in EEPROM that I optimized.

FYI, I don't think the new AVR likes unsigned longs so much, I let the arduino.cc folks know this as well:

when I global replace unsigned long to unsigned int

0012 goes from 16772 to 11934 which is 4838 bytes difference

0011 goes from 14104 to 10762 which is a 3342 byte difference

So that is a 1500 byte difference just from that change. Of course it isn't useable like that, just trying to see where it went.

You know what? It isn't worth it to upgrade. One of the main focuses on the guino has been precision, and it has that. That's precicely why it has so may unsigned longs in the first place. And it works well. And 0011 will be around a long time. I'm going to put a few finishing touches on it (like a big comment about needing 0011 at the top) and call it 1.0.

Cool, I'm glad you're keeping the 168 compatible version because mine just came. Now I just need to solder everything up. Any idea when the final version will be up?
BTW. Thanks for all the effort you've been putting into this. It's great to see something like this.

It may come from all the casting and conversion needed for comparison, arithmetic, etc.

I am using a lot of unsigned long and a lot of bytes, and I try to not mix them, only match them.

Do you have some specific examples in the mpguino code you can point me to?

[bbjsw10]

Finally got my stuff and fired right up!! Hooked up my signal generator and got readings. Thanks DCB you are the man!
