Hi Rachel,

I'm glad you liked the text. It's our sincere hope (as it has been for
some time) to continue to expand/improve the text. Honest. We'll get
there. :)

The wiring.module is... probably not a great place to go. We started
down that road thinking it might be a good transition, but the truth
is that many of the idioms you might pursue in that space do not play
well with the parallel mindset that occam presents. Put another way,
occam basically asks you to think a little differently, and that's a
good thing.

That said... printing a message is often really useful. :)

The "Plumbing Cookbook" (which is... barely started) has some material
on exactly this:

I just built the LaTeX sources and uploaded the PDF. My students used
it a bit in the fall, and found the chapters that were in there
useful. It would be great to add more, no doubt.

Also, the notes I put together for students this past fall might be useful:

This weekend, the group will be doing some hacking to get things
up-and-running on the Raspberry-Pi, and I'll be using these tools more
consistently in my classes next year (and in the years following). So,
by no means is this a "dead" project... we're just busy
faculty/professionals who are not, at the moment, hacking on things as
much as we like.

Please feel free to ask as many questions as you have to. We're glad
to help. And, if there are ways you think you'd like to contribute,
please dive in... we're happy to support you that way, too.

Cheers,
Matt

PS. Although it might be a bit dense, you can also take a look at

https://github.com/jadudm/Paper-ES-Sensor/blob/master/firmware.occ

which is the code described in this paper:

http://wotug.ukc.ac.uk/paperdb/show_pap.php?f=1&num=631

where (specifically) the last bit (about the environmental sensor)
might help show what a purposeful application using occam/Plumbing
might look like.
