 I wrote drivers for the following devices:
 
- * '''DC-motors''' - Both on/off cw/ccw and PWM drive.
- * '''Stepper motors''' - With real-time stepping control, dynamic acceleration ramps, homing state-machine, etc.
+=== Power devices ===
 
- * '''7-segement BCD and british-flag alphanumerical displays'''
- * '''Alphanumerical LCD displays''' - Like the popular Hitachi HD44xxx controller.
- * '''B/W bitmap LCD displays''' - Using a homebrew library to draw text and graphics (see DevLib).
- * '''Thermal Printers''' - Both serial and full printing head control.
- * '''Keyboards''' - Simple and matrix scan, with debounce and complex input gestures.
+ * **DC-motors**      -- Both on/off cw/ccw and PWM drive.
+ * **Stepper motors** -- With real-time stepping control, dynamic acceleration ramps, homing state-machine, etc.
+ * **Peltier cells** and **PWM heaters**
 
- * '''A/D converters''' - Interrupt-driven, high-speed sampling and data processing
- * '''D/A converters''' - Employing PWMs and other techniques
 
- * '''Serial ports''' - RS232, RS485, SPI, I2C and many other custom serial lines, both interrupt-driven and software buffered.
- * '''Ethernet''' - CS8900A and RTL8019 (NE2000 compatible).
- * '''USB''' - With HCI drivers provided by manufacturer.
+=== Sensors ===
 
-A few sample drivers for generic devices are available in DevLib.
+ * **A/D converters** -- Interrupt-driven, high-speed sampling and data processing
+ * **D/A converters** -- Employing PWMs, multiplexing of multiple channels and other advanced techniques
+ * **GPIO lines**     -- Direct or multiplexed, interrupt driven, polled, etc.
+
+ * **NTCs**, **Thermo-couples** -- Temperature control
+ * **Photocells**     -- Light intensity measurement
+
+
+=== User interface ===
+
+ * **7-segment BCD and british-flag alphanumerical displays**
+ * **Alphanumerical LCD displays** -- Like the popular Hitachi HD44xxx controller.
+ * **B/W bitmap LCD displays** -- Using a homebrew library to draw text and graphics (see DevLib).
+ * **Thermal Printers** -- Both serial and full printing head control.
+ * **Keyboards** -- Simple and matrix scan, with debounce and complex input gestures.
+ * **RTC Clocks** -- Like the Dallas DS1302 and compatibles.
+
+
+=== Communication and Networking ===
+
+ * **Serial ports** -- RS232, RS485, SPI, I2C and many other custom serial lines, both interrupt-driven and software buffered.
+ * **Ethernet** -- CS8900A and RTL8019 (NE2000 compatible).
+ * **USB** -- With HCI drivers provided by manufacturer.
+
+
+=== Storage ===
+
+ * **NOR flash devices** -- Using several programming algorithms.
+ * **Serial EEPROMs** -- Like the I2C 24Cxxx chips.
