Ethercard library uses PSTR string pointers. about ethercard HOT 6 CLOSED

Where can I find more info about this?

I also see that there's a 0023 release - do you know what the relation is to the 1.0rcseries?

from ethercard.

It's in the 1.0 release notes.

Found a second bug btw. The $D string argument in Stash::prepare() doesn't work correctly.
Every integer >= 10 is translated to an ASCII character >= 90.
See the pachube.ino sketch for example.

Whoops, fixed in last check-in.

What's needed to support F() - a couple of __FlashStringHelper casts in the right place? I'm not quite up to speed on this.

from ethercard.

Neither am I.
I only know what we can learn from the source code of the arduino 1.0 core library.

They seem to have changed the types of the parameters of the serial functions to correspond with it, but that is the best lead I've found so far.

I was looking at the PString librarie http://arduiniana.org/libraries/PString/, Makes filling the buffer a lot easier I think?

from ethercard.

Yes, PString looks good, but it requires a RAM-based buffer. For the EtherCard lib with its extreme RAM shortage, I came up with the slightly different approach of using "stashes" which are not using any ATmega RAM but saving stuff to the ENC28J60's RAM instead.

See http://jeelabs.org/2012/04/11/ethercard-improvements/ for where I'm trying to go with this.
