Right now it's arduino based. We are thinking about possibilities to separate us from that build environment, because it's so weird.. The only problem is that arduino is so popular with newcomers to programming and hardware, and for them it's relatively easy to use. It's only the more seasoned developers that knows something better is out there, that complains I still use the arduino environment for the basic sketches, as it kind of works, and atom for core hacking. I've got a set of bash scripts to help me along, and use gdb for debugging in target (samd hw) I think there are some platform.io integrations as well, but haven't had the time to look into that. We want to reach out to as many as possible, and that's with arduino at the moment.

It will become much easier to contribute articles to the main site (by creating an openhardware.io project). We will pubish mysensors related projects(or articles) when this is new site is launched.

The serial API (glue between gateway/controller) is documented here: https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20 You can see the messages sent at boot in the serial console. It's just sends the presentation and controller usually transmits unit configuration back to node. (Unless node requires an id which takes place prior to this.) Suggest you have a look at the (somewhat outdated) sample controller to get started https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsSampleController
