The main issue is that what I want is an Xcode projet that is clean. This is doable, the current Xcode project in the source tree is crappy with locations not well defined etc. Fixable. But I need to know what to do first.

Hilaire told me to look here.

I've got an Arduino Uno. In fact, I did a number of ISA (! old) cards, and interfaces, like oscilloscope board, ... I can hook that back to the Arduino and then in turn make some Pharo classes (maybe with FFI - I know some people did stuff but not on OSX) to take the data in. The fun part would be the visualization of an iPad remotely.

I saw something in Ghent (I am from Belgium). I'll try to go.

Then in Lille, there is also something. I'll go as well.

Depends in fact on how well I recover from my current eye surgery. I am locked in my home/office for 4 weeks due to retinal detachment :-( - Things should be okay by then.

For the record, I am a civil engineer and am self employed since 2000.

yes

Indeed.

Esteban is moving to france so right now I'm not sure that he can reply to you. But next week probably.

Esteban is working with Hilaire on that. So may be contact hilaire. He is in the mailing-list.

with pharo?
What arduino board do you use?
I would like to see a demo? are you attending the pharo conference?

I would love that.
Luc and Noury are also working with arduino so we will have fun.
