Pinguino Beta 9

Hi Guys,

Pinguino beta 9 is available in the download area.
Many thanks to all the contributors of this new release.

This is a major version with a lot of improvement.
I will write some document to explain how to develop users libraries
( it's easy with beta 9 ) and maybe changes from the last version.

Have fun with this new version.

Pinguino Workshop in Campus Party Valencia

Benoit will animate a workshop with Pinguino in Campus Party Valencia. The theme of this workshop is 'Home Hacking and Pinguino'. We will show how to hack a Linksys router (WRT54GL), connect it to Pinguino with a simple level converter and drive it with LUA and our new libezV24 binding for LUA.
Campus Party is a great event and a nice place to show what is possible. All the contributions will be welcomed.

Hi guys, i am pleased to announce that 'Pinguino Madrid' is now online. This blog, initiated by Walter is a spain place to learn a lot of Pinguino related things.
Walter did a great job with Pinguino, Fonera and electronic.

LUA USB terminal

Yet another small software to check USB communication with Pinguino.
I wrote this command line tool for Linux to test USB communication. It can be used as a serial terminal to check process value or text sent from and to Pinguino.
Originally, it shall be made with Python, but due to a problem with Python thread and Libusb, i tested it with LUA, and it works !!
It can be used both on a computer or on an embedded system ( FONERA 2 for example ).

Everything to install and use it is explained on the tutorial website in a new tools chapter.
