Do we need a specific repo for community-written PIO libraries ?

[mjcross]

I saw a few references to 'PIO Library' in the docs, but I don't really see one except for the examples and extras.

Increasingly I should imagine there will be PIO Libraries for specific IO tasks (e.g. I've just written one to transmit NEC IR codes); and it would be nice to have a centralised place to post them.

PRs to https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-examples (to the develop branch) are more than welcome 🙂 (e.g. raspberrypi/pico-examples#126 )

If you want to include a README.adoc like https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-examples/tree/master/gpio/hello_7segment then we might also include it the "App Notes" appendix of https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/pico/raspberry-pi-pico-c-sdk.pdf

[mjcross]

OK I'll have a crack at that 👍
In order to make it a bit more suitable for pico-examples I'll see if I can add a receive library too using the other PIO instance, so that people can do a sort of IR loopback test.

[pmarques-dev]

This is my first contribution to pico-examples and didn't notice the develop branch, so I did the pull request against master. Should I just cancel this pull request and post a new one for develop?

[lurch]

@pmarques-dev There was an SDK release not long ago, so develop is currently in-step with master. So you should just be able to click the "Edit" button at the top of your PR, and change the base branch (or whatever GitHub calls it) to develop 🙂

[pmarques-dev]

OK, I've just done that now, thank you

If there's a PR in place over on pico-examples I'll close this issue.

[lurch]

@aallan There's a PR which @pmarques-dev created, but not yet a PR that @mjcross created (unfortunately there's been a bit of overlap in discussion of the PRs / issues).

[aallan]

Ah gotcha.

[mjcross]

@aallan There's a PR which @pmarques-dev created, but not yet a PR that @mjcross created (unfortunately there's been a bit of overlap in discussion of the PRs / issues).

Thanks @lurch - it's coming :-)
I want to add NEC receive before I create the PR; first iteration of the Rx code in testing this afternoon

[mjcross]

Update: code is all now working to my satisfaction; I'm just about to fork the develop branch of https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-examples and start (attempting to) integrate it...

[mjcross]

Update: code builds within the source tree; now working on a README.adoc

[lurch]

I'm going to close this issue, now that you've opened raspberrypi/pico-examples#129 🙂

[mjcross]

Excellent! Thanks @lurch that was a job I meant to do this morning but you beat me to it
