Writing First Library - Serial Stream Object
Here is a simple example (built and tested with a mega2560), with a class that can be passed a Stream object, and sends a Hello over this generic stream object. When constructing the object, you can ...

How can I get the source files for Arduino libraries?
On a Mac, the path to the source code folder is:
Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/Hardware/Arduino/Cores/Arduino. I'd expect it would be the same from /Java/ on down in other OSes.

Are there any signal smoothing libraries for Arduino?
I think I see a lot of single-sample noise spikes in your noisy signal.
The median filter does better at getting rid of single-sample noise spikes than any linear filter.

How to define a SoftwareSerial object inside a class?
Personally I wouldn't go down this route. Instead I would pass a Stream object (as a pointer or a reference) to the constructor and use that. Then it is up to your sketch to define what that Stream ...

What is the proper way to make library pin mappings configurable?
The method I use is to provide the pins as parameters to the constructor. Those pin numbers are stored in variables to use later in the .begin() function and elsewhere.
Most of the time I use ...

What is the proper way to make library pin mappings configurable?
I would use either of the following two possibilities:
Use (class) variables and set them within the constructor.
Advantages:
Always initialized
Easy to use (constructor and pin setup at once)

How to write a library that support both HW and SW Serial communication and allow user to chose which one to use?
The trick here is to go "up a level". Both HardwareSerial and SoftwareSerial inherit from the Stream class. It is that class that provides the majority of the interface that you actually ...

How to avoid odd naming rules for Arduino when writing a library?
Yep, the Arduino IDE kinda sucks eventually. There is no best practise really, as Arduino *.ino files aren't proper c / c++ anyway. I would hope that people who know how to write C++ classes (as ...
