Thanks for the tip and thanks to all the wonderful folk on this form for th=

To be honest, I am taking a serious look at www.nuttx.org. It looks very ma=

 it (e.g. https://pixhawk.org)

I realise that from reading the Ada for Micontrollers Linkedin post and the=

(i.e. combining building blocks).

I will certainly keep an eye on it. Maybe for the next project or unless I =
can be convinced otherwise ;)

I'd better get back to reading that C book and finally come to terms with p=
ointers...
