Source, APIs & Libraries

The main development github clearinghouse repository is: https://github.com/todbot/blink1

We endeavor to make all blink(1) source and APIs work on these platforms:

Mac OS X 10.7+ (10.6 in many cases)
Windows 7+ (XP for some APIs or tools)
Linux Ubuntu (and other Linuxes and *nixes like FreeBSD)
Raspberry Pi Raspbian

We come from a Unix background, so most of our tools work on Mac & Linux first.

We currently have APIs for:

Additionally there are several community-created APIs for specific higher-level tools that do system monitoring or continuous integration. Most all of these are published. If you are curious, do a web search for your tool and “blink1”.

The blink(1) github is laid out along these lines, with one directory per language and sometimes a directory per OS.
