Peripherals and other hardware

Do you want to control "things" from AROS? If I understood correctly you want some input and outputs?

Tht's the plan - just waiting on Hollywood 9.2 update  with the serial library fix.

Few months ago I made a RGB controller for my son's computer using STM32 micro (usb to led strip and fans), here's the github https://github.com/Dzy/Corsair_LNP_stm32_maplemini

So was this for AROS?  A USB class for such things would be great (especially if it linked to a serial-type device so it could be accessible through a range of applications and programming languages).

Would be nice to have some library one could directly use to communicate with "things", I don't know if other platforms have such framework figured out that we could clone.

I might end up with some farily generic functions for communicating with a microcontroller via serial; they would of course depend on corresponding routines on the microcontroller side to receive and send data. On the AROS side they'd be in Hollywood but it would be possible to wrap a command line interface around them for use in other contexts e.g. a dos script. In any case, as mentioned I'm waiting on Hollywood 9.2. Also I need to  find where the heck I've put my prototyping board so I can actually mount the PICAXE and get it programmed...

Here's a quick one: if you have an AROS machine with a VGA output but need to connect to HDMI this adapter https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072NCTBVP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 works well. When used with our Samsung TV its video modes were passed through to AROS and the audio over HDMI was nice and clear.
