What features wold you like to see next?

Probably do a Blazor and a MAUI demo app next.

OneWire with specific devices after that?

Hi, :-)
I think this project is currently underrated. Maybe:

• some pictures,
• wire/diagrams
• explanations
• short (<30sec) videos or animated GIF / .APNG

would help many programmers to realise:

• what it does?
• how to use it?

I've analysed it + your blog for 50 minutes, but still do not know:

• Can it completely replace Firmata firmware ?
• Can it be used with already existing Firmata libraries on the PC side?
  • Like: Can Node-RED-node-arduino module connect to it via Wifi?
• Will it be available for normal Pico too? (without Wifi, through simple USB connection)
• So the communication is the same?
• or does it need an other layer / driver / program running on host side?
• Where is that Block-programming come into the picture?
  • Is it directly modifying the Board's firmware before uploading to it?
  • or during runtime?
  • where is it getting saved?
  • or it's only for connection-configuration?
    etc...

As a programmer myself, I know exactly how hard it is to show and summarise, "what's inside your head" in a way, that others can easily understand.
Pictures help a lot. ;-)

So for the question:

• What features wold you like to see next?

I'd say first:

• Better = More summarised, self-explanatory documentation :-D
• using easier English words/phrases (for the other 90%+ people not native)

If someone reads sentences like this as "explonation":

an ASP.NET Core API sketch that presents a Blockly and a Swagger interface to all of the SoftataLib (.NET) API commands.

Will close this page in 10 sec.
"history" and such should go to a different .md file. Leave Readme.md clean.

Why?

• Because I'm working and developing / debugging firmata since 5! years, and still have no idea, what this sentence means with 35 years of programmer experience.
• Now imagine a 12 year old student sitting in a classroom trying his/her first robot-arm code... :-D

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll take these comments onboard.
Just a note, it isn't Firmata but a pun on the name.
