Code now on GitHub

I have now setup a GitHub repository for all my new-gpio code as covered in https://community.onion.io/topic/143/alternative-c-code-for-gpio-access-now-with-interrupts-and-expled/20

The repository can be found at https://github.com/KitBishop/new-gpio

It currently contains the version 1.3.1 code as has been supplied in new-gpio-1.3.1.tar.bz2

In future, when I make any updates to the code, it will be found in the referenced repository

FYI: Code on https://github.com/KitBishop/new-gpio has now been updated to version 1.3.2
No functional changes, just:

• Some reorganisation of source code
• Improvements to Makefiles

See the new-gpio.pdf file for details

FYI: Code on https://github.com/KitBishop/new-gpio has now been updated to version 1.3.3
Changes are:

• Added rgb <r> <g> <b> parameters to new-gpio expled and new-expled to provide the expansion led settings as 3 decimal values in the range 0..100

[Kit Bishop]

FYI: Code on https://github.com/KitBishop/new-gpio has now been updated to version 1.3.4
Changes are:

• Some small changes to Makefiles
• Added gpio-template directory under source containing template code for creating your own C/C++ program that uses libnew-gpio
• NO functional changes to code

[Kit Bishop]

FYI: Code on https://github.com/KitBishop/new-gpio has now been updated to version 1.3.5
Changes are:

• Fixed code bug in expansion led access

[Kit Bishop]

FYI: Code on https://github.com/KitBishop/new-gpio has now been updated to version 1.4.0
This version contains extensive additions to the libnew-gpio library and a complete rewrite and extensions to the new-gpio program

Changes are:

• Fixed code bug that caused Ctrl-C to not be caught

• Code improvements to reduce memory usage to some extent.

• Major extensions to libnew-gpio library to provide functions inspired by
  Arduino pin control functionality.
  Specifically:

  • functions to generate and control tone output
  • 8 bit shift in and shift out functions
  • pulse out function
  • pulse in functions
  • function to return frequency on a pin

• Substantial re-write of new-gpio program to:

  • accommodate the new libnew-gpio functions
  • provide a scripting facility with:
    • flow control
    • user defined variables and assignable expressions
    • rudimentary file access

See the documentation in new-gpio.pdf in the GIT repository for full details

FYI: I have now added an example script file for use with the new-gpio program.

• The example file can be found at https://github.com/KitBishop/new-gpio/blob/master/source/new-gpio/new-gpio-example.txt
• Documentation for its use can be found in section 7.2. Scripting Example for new-gpio Program in the updated documentation at https://github.com/KitBishop/new-gpio/blob/master/new-gpio.pdf
