[arm-allstar] Nano Allstar Interface Howto

Sat Dec 3 12:43:01 EST 2016

Small typo Doug, the article is located under the hardware section not the
how to section. But regardless you had posted a direct link anyway, I just
didn't notice that the first couple times I read it.

Very excited for the upcoming update, I really think this ATmega addition
will be looked back upon as one of the major milestones of the project, as
some would say "it's gonna be HUGE".

At this point with the hardware soldered up, we are not manually sending
any code into the Arduino yet, or I didn't see any code posted. Should I
assume that the ARM update that is forthcoming will do this for us, or is
it just not ready for a prime time public release just yet?

Lastly I just want to say excellent article, I thoroughly enjoyed reading
it in it's entirety three times, you are a great teacher and writer. I am
curious about the spurious RF off the GPIO ports of the Pi itself that you
mentioned in the first paragraph, were these emissions actually causing
errors and interference or were they just too erratic on the scope for your
comfort levels?
