For those who are? concerned with amount of memory used, there are "Conditional Compile
Options" that can be used to switch on or switch off compilations based on #define.
This lets you select which options you want to compile by commenting out or adding certain
triggers in your code.?
If memory size is not a concern it might be possible to include user configuration options
for things like 2-Line LCD, 4-Line LCD, and so on up to graphics displays allowing user to
have boot-up options for selecting hardware configuration, software configuration, and
function configuration as three separate menu lists.?
Of course all firmware in source code format assumes that the builder/user will have
knowledge and equipment to compile and install his/her own code.? Not all have that
ability.? Solution to that might be an on-line tutorial describing step-by-step procedure
for installing the IDE, obtaining the source code, compiling source, and installing the
resulting .hex files.? Maybe this could be included in build instructions and/or at
.? Doing this would mean that the instruction would need to be verified
usable for Linux, Windows, and Mac-OSX.?
For those who do not want to download and install the Arduino IDE and do not want
to use some other IDE for compiling BITX code, there is an on-line compiler available
at .? This lets you write and compile your own code using a
web browser on a PC or cell-phone.
