Che Cosa?

---------



Cosa is an object-oriented platform for Arduino. It replaces the Arduino

and Wiring library with a large set of integrated classes that support

the full range of AVR/ATmega/ATtiny internal hardware modules; all pin

modes, Digital, and Analog Pins, External and Pin Change Interrupts,

Analog Comparator, PWM, Watchdog, Timer0/Timer2 (RTT), Timer1

(Servo/Tone/VWI), Input Capture, UART, USI, SPI, TWI and EEPROM. Cosa

supports several programming paradigms including Multi-Tasking, Event

Driven Programming and UML Capsules/Actors. Cosa contains over 200

classes and nearly as many example sketches to get started.



Please note that Cosa is not an Arduino core; Cosa does not implement

the Arduino API. Sketches written with Cosa may be built with the

Arduino IDE or with the command line based build support for Linux.



Cosa supports the Arduino Boards Manager install. Simply install by

adding the Cosa Package URL to the Additional Boards Manager URLs in

the IDE Preferences; https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikaelpatel/Cosa/master/package_cosa_index.json



More details are available:

Cosa API

--------



The API documentation is available:



* [online](https://mikaelpatel.github.io/Cosa/index.html)

* Compressed for [download](https://github.com/mikaelpatel/Cosa/releases)



The documentation contains a full hyperlinked description of all functions

in Cosa together with UML graphs of the class hierarchy, include dependencies,

and much more.



The provided documentation is generated with doxygen and may also be

generated for users source code if the Cosa documentation style is

adapted. See the Doxyfile for configuration of doxygen.



Supported Boards and MCUs

-------------------------



Cosa has built-in support for a large number of boards and

clones/vendors. It also supports breadboards and custom-design

boards with AVR MCUs.

Supporting this project

-----------------------



There are many ways to support this project.



1. Build and test.

2. Fix bugs and take part in the development work.

3. Write blog or instructions on how you have used Cosa in your

project(s).

4. Donate hardware; Arduino boards and shields. This is especially

welcome as with the growning number of device drivers and supported

modules that require hardware setups which takes a lot of time if

breadboarded.

5. Or donations through paypal (use email address).



If you are planning to use Cosa you are encouraged to support the

project to help keep the software at high quality and follow

changes in tooling, and above all open-source.



Please note that the issues list should be used mainly for bug reports

and enhancement requests. Design and implementation support is only

provided to contributing projects.
