As a newbie and a person who is NOT a programmer at all, but am amazed at being able to actually "do" things with an Arduino - let me chime in on this thread...
I totally agree with Smiley's viewpoint on keeping the Arduino simple for us dumb folks who do not know programming. I do not wish to limit the upward movement of Arduinos, but keep at least one simple system for us.
I do sorta like pwmWrite() rather than analogWrite() - just makes more sense.... but I do understand it could open a whole can of worms in trying keep backwards Compatibility, so what ya'll folks come up with - I'll learn to deal with.... as in loosing my hex files into those darn temperatory folders with the move to 0018.
Thank ya'll for all the work.
