There are some threads dealing with this problem already

> Folks, with the Photon being so new, a lot of new functionality is being introduced to the firmware, including the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and the modular system/user code. These changes are impacting library code that was adapted specifically for the Core when future products were not known. Well, now that we know that future, it is time to generalize libraries for all Particle devices including the future Electron. One key function used for doing faster bit I/O uses the PIN\_MAP refe…

> Hello folks, I’m getting several errors while trying to use @machadolab [Adafruit\_HX8357 library] ([https://github.com/machadolab/Adafruit\_HX8357\_Library](https://github.com/machadolab/Adafruit_HX8357_Library)) for a 3.5" TFT SPI display on my Photon. The library works just fine on a Core. [image] Following what @BDub did to add support for the Photon in the NeoPixel library, I added #include "pinm\_map\_impl.h" but that is not working. Could you give me some guidance on what changes I need to do to the library for it to work with the Photon. Than…
