Since many of us use Arduino’s based on Atmel technologies, I thought this might be relevant to the group.

Huh. No East Coast US stops announced yet. Presumably they’ll remember us before they’re all done.
One of my goals for this version of the library, and one of the motivators behind the rewrite, is to make it usable outside of the arduino environment, e.g. just using avr studio. While this version of the library isn’t 100% there yet - it’s far closer than the first version was, and most of the arduino specific stuff that i’m using is fallback code for pin access and some definitions, and timing adjustments for the WS* family of chips.
