Bite your tongue. LOL

Talk of replacing the ProMini around here is a good way to be excommunicated.

Amen.
But .....
Alex mentioned a few conditions for 32bit future and one of them was free programming environment - after reading about Maple IDE I took a risk ;) .
Anyway with my programming skills I can not enter in any discussion - so I,m safe :D

Tom

Yes - just a few generations ahead.
MapleMini use 32-bit ARM Cortex M3 microprocessor @72Mhz.

BTW, I have downloaded the Maple IDE but have not had the time to hack at it. I believe we should be able to do the same with the Arduino IDE adding the CodeSourcery's "arm-none-eabi-gcc" to it making it able to compile the NAZE32 Baseflight.
