ardOinus - an Embedded Programming Module API for Arduino in C++

ArdOinus is an embedded application framework allowing composition of re-usable modules targetted for embedded microcontroller applications.

See the reference guide for more complete information.

ArdOinus aims to be true to the C++ philosophy that you don't pay for what you don't need (at run time) and hence makes heavy use of C++ templates. The extensive use of templates results in requiring the minimum version of C++11 compiler support.

The main re-usable component is the "module". The module interface is described in the ModuleBase class template. It provides 4 static methods and contains no instance state however client modules can instantiate a module object if the module requires it. Multiple modules are combinable into an Applicatiion. The Application class template will combine the given modules, this can be considered akin the to "main" function in a C++ program.

Resource collision is handled as a compile time error. Each module must define it's parameters and each parameter defines it's claim on resources. Compile time detection of resource collision is highly desirable since an invalid allocation does not even result in a runnable program and error messages indicate the errormeaning shorter development cycle.

This library also abstracts the basic digital GPIO functions in Arduino together with the basic time functions. See the ardo::OutputPin and ardo::InputPin classes. Open Collector/Drain modes are supported.
