:)  That's still out there I guess.

I feel bad that I haven't updated it in ages.  I should probably do a
M128 port or something like that, maybe add some new peripherals.
I've been working with a few new sensors lately, but not something
that you'd want to put on a student board, too pricey and complicated.

There are a couple of things I'd like to see done, like dynamic memory
allocation, and efficient string parsing.  My current app looks for a
number of command strings in a serial input stream, and although it
works well enough, it's rather "klunky".   I haven't hit any
inspirations on a better way to do it yet.
