v0.1.2-beta.2

v01.2-beta update

🚀 Enhancements

• Improved Power Support:
  • Batch 2 units can now power on the built-in amplifier and power a speaker via a standard 5V USB connection. This means a 9V USB power adapter is no longer a hard requirement, however 9V or more is still recommended for optimal performance of the built-in amplifier.
  • Both batch 1 & batch 2 units now have USB-C Power Delivery negotiation support for up to 20V.
• Pre-Built Firmware Variants: All future releases will include pre-built firmware variants you can choose from to flash to your Sat1 using our firmware flashing tool, available at docs.futureproofhomes.net. Firmware variants include:
  • Production Firmware
    • No mmWave
    • LD2410 mmWave
    • LD2450 mmWave
  • Beta Firmware
    • No mmWave
    • LD2410 mmWave
    • LD2450 mmWave
• Media Player Stability:
  • Improved stability during long streaming sessions.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• No breaking changes: This firmware is fully compatible with your existing Sat1 device.
