It looks like something didn't quite work well in the rebase, as there are a lot of unrelated commits. I believe you can fix this by running `git rebase -i...

Rebased the PR (no actual update). @kenbell looking back on this I'm not so sure about the API with channels. It seems rather brittle to me and very easy to...

Sorry I missed this comment. > Wouldn't we be able to tell if a SPI has DMA by looking at whether it implements an interface with StartTx and Wait? (I...

This sounds like a good idea. @ptr-dodge if you want, you can make a PR to update the documentation here: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo-site/blob/dev/content/getting-started/install/windows.md

Did a quick test and I can confirm that the first write results in some weird colors. Subsequent writes work fine however. This will need a bit more investigation to...
