Abstract IO

Do you want to use some object oriented goodness to hide some of the nitty gritty stuff from your application code?

AbstractIO is designed to keep your application clean and simple. Your setup code is the only place with the details of how your project is wired.

Here's some examples

• Your application code shouldn't need to know if a button press is a LOW or HIGH signal.
• Checking the state of a switch should be the same whether you have just one switch or hundreds (multiplexing using a 74HC595).
• Turning on an LED should be the same whether you have just one, or dozens (using shift registers).
• Fading an LED should be no different when using external PWMs such as WS2803D or TLC5940.
• Your application code shouldn't care if an input is a simple switch or a signal from an infra-red remote control.
• Some inputs need debouncing? Hide that from your application code!
• Are you using a potentiometer or an rotary encoder as a numeric input? Make them behave identically.
• Got a light dependent resistor on an analog pin? Calibrate the readings, then make it appear like a regular on/off input.
