Teaching High School Robotics with the Spark Photon

[rocksetta]

I have a whole bunch of serial boards that I will need to connect with the Photon so I will need to learn how to port Arudino include files. Here is a set of postings that talks about these issues.

Porting from Arduino to Particle.io (Simplified-Hopefully)

I can simplify and teach anything I understand, but I am having a really hard time understanding porting from Arduino to Particle.io. Could someone please clear up a few things: A: Some Arduino include files are pre-installed on the particle IDE, so we just have to delete the include calls from the Arduino code. Wire.h (I2C serial communication) Servo.h stdio.h SPI.h (SPI serial communication) are their any more include files we can add to this list that are pre-installed into the parti…

The github template is at GitHub - hpssjellis/arduino-includes-to-photon-template: A template for porting Arduino include files to the Particle.io Photon or Spark

but I strongly suggest working in the particle.io build IDE first (manually importing Arduino .h and .cpp include files with .ino or .cpp examples ) since using Github and publishing your library has a few quirks that are irritating for beginners.
