you can still buy sensors with this output configuration

same; when an oss project is relevant it just means it ends up being used (but not supported) by bigtech and a have bug tracker filled with hostile users

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
memory-mapped I/O

like why would you want any sort of intelligent asynchronous channel abstraction at the hardware level, just throw some registers in some unused address space and go to town on them

what’s best is if there’s only a couple registers actually in the memory map, which you have to use to access the actual registers in the I/O device

especially if there are timing constraints

and it hasn’t seen an update since 2014 despite a whole ton of development having been done on it by a couple obsessive weirdos whose response to a request for binaries is to berate you for not just building the latest source
