Not really.  There are an ever increasing number of errors like this:

warning: ‘virtual void wxWindowBase::MakeModal(bool)’ is deprecated 
(declared at 
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/Alien/wxWidgets/gtk_3_0_1_uni/include/wx-3.0/wx/window.h:688) 
[-Wdeprecated-declarations]
   THIS->MakeModal(flag);
                       ^

I did post some time ago on the wxWidgets site and Vadim said that as 
classes were maintained, things would clear up, but that really it 
needed a concerted effort.  At least for the time being there are no 
crashes.

We see the same thing in cpan installs.

I'd be happy to, but you can too.  You've tidied it up beautifully and 
tested it.  I would say you deserve at least as much credit.

Nice that you've got an Arduino.  I was thinking of getting one for my 
sons when they are a bit older, to encourage an interest in Robotics.  
How do you find it?

I haven't looked, I use the online one.
