This (2.2) is long overdue bug fix release for Ahven. Ahven.XML_Runner had same bug as Ahven.Text_Runner and this release fixes it. Now your XML test result files should have skipped tests correctly reported. Another bigger change is API documentation generator change from Adabrowse to Sphinx.

As usual …

Using 16x2 LCD display for text output purposes is sometimes more convenient than serial communication via UART/USB.

But if you do the wiring on the breadboard you get quite a mess:

So, I wanted to create a shield for Arduino to make the LCD usage easier.

AVR-Ada includes library …

When it comes to Ada and its community, last year (2011) was pretty interesting to me. Here is a small summary what I managed to do:

• I did three Ahven releases (1.9, 2.0, and 2.1). I had hoped to do yet another (2.2), but didn't find …

Like others, I am slowly converting all my documentation into reStructuredText. I did it earlier for documentation of Ahven and now I changed my blog to it also.

For blogging, I decided to use Pelican, which generates static blog pages from a set of reStructuredText files.

I recently ordered some Arduino and electronics stuff from Finnish Arduino store called Paeae. The delivery was smooth and fast as usual, but in addition they had put there a nice little Christmas present for me, a small green breadboard (resistor was not included):

Thanks!
