Mostly angry feelings, trying to make simple programs for days, and having to resort to programming in registers, while same program was possible to make in few minutes by using SPL

last adventure is :

The Cube HAL software is not beneficial for my projects.  When it doesn't work right, it's

difficult to find the source of the problems. 

The added layers increase overhead and decrease clarity.

Bloatware.

OK, it appears to makes setting things up easier, but I can’t see that it helps in understanding what is going on at a low level, which I feel is necessary when things don’t work as anticipated.

Yes, I’m old, and when I started every byte counted, and my ‘goto state’ is assembler, using the all the registers instead of using memory with nested calls and my preference for performance over production time, but perhaps I’m more than a little biased/set in my ways.

“Like a boat in deep water�? LOL. Perhaps that’s why I like diving – the boat just gets you there. The fun starts when you get in the water.
