- microHAL drivers - this is set of examples from microHAL subproject that provides drivers for popular and commonly used devices.
To download examples:
- run microIDE,
- open or create new workspace where examples should be stored,
- click File->Import...
- in newly open window please expand Oomph tree and select Projects into Workspace and click next button.
When new window apear please find and expand microHAL Projects tree. You should see microHAL examples option, please double click on it, the text should change to bold.
