Jalduino

[David VB]

Hi,

Now that Arduino has been bought by Qualcomm, the new terms and contions are much more restricted than before, and it is already sais that a lot of users will drop off (see recent EEVBlog's video)

This is an opportunity to shed some light on JalDuino and give it more visibility.
This will also be profitable for jal and jallib

Let's discuss....

Hi David,

Interesting thought but what do you mean by JalDuino? An Arduino like JAL board? Something like the JALPIC One?

Kind regards,

Rob

Maybe the author of that board (Jalduino) will return?

I would have been interested in 5V native PIC24 micros, but there is no free, unrestricted gcc C compiler for it... Pass!

AFAIK, Qualcomm restrictions target the Arduino IDE only, and whatever is in their property. I still use the 1.8.13 version with updated boards and libraries on my own Linux live operating system (my last project displays Bible verses and the outdoor temperature on an 8x32 neopixel matrix, with a light sensor so the color and the intensity of the text switches on night mode). 

More options and solutions are available, but I won't enumerate them. I think Jal and GCBasic are ignored right now as these are not global phenomenons as Arduino and somehow this is a blessing in disguise. I won't rush in heavily promoting them. At least, not on Internet, but if there are opportunities for local workshops, then go for it.
