v2.0.2

Update per arduino library managers request.

v2.0.1

New Features

• Now listed on arduino library manager!

v2.0.0-rc.8 - Release Candidate 8

Bug Fixes

• Removed ackCounter from Device
• Removed ruby and python test files for cleaning

v2.0.0-rc.7 - Release Candidate 7

Bug Fixes

• Increased time it takes to time out a serial page write to 0.5ms from 5ms

v2.0.0-rc.6 - Release Candidate 6

New Features

• New baud rate added, Hyper mode at a screaming 921600 baud! Get those packets off the serial port faster than ever!

Bug Fixes

• Addressed problem of packet loss over distance with 20 packet stream packet ring of buffers!
• Increased time it takes to time out a serial page write to 5ms from 3ms

Work in progress

• Addresses issue of Read Page Failure on verify of over the air programming.

v2.0.0-rc.5 - Release Candidate 5

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug where Serial buffer was not processed on comms down. Added over 50 auto tests to ensure proper operation.

Breaking Changes

• Renamed OPENBCI_MAX_NUMBER_OF_BUFFERS to OPENBCI_NUMBER_SERIAL_BUFFERS to match new convention.
• Renamed processCommsFailure with bufferSerialProcessCommsFailure to follow new convention.

v2.0.0-rc.4 - Release Candidate 4

Enhancements

• Refactor of the was the device reads and processes chars. Completely auto tested.
• Complete auto test coverage over mission critical buffer functions.
• Less packet loss over same distance as compared with previous release candidates.
• Renamed a ton of functions to follow a new convention where there are three main buffer categories:
  • Serial which handles non streaming data coming from serial port to radio
  • Radio which handles non streaming data coming from radio to serial port
  • Stream which handles both streaming data in both directions.

Breaking Changes

• Removed function isAStreamPacketWaitingForLaunch. Now just check if stream packet buffer is in the ready state.
• Renamed thereIsDataInSerialBuffer to bufferSerialHasData
• Renamed packetsInSerialBuffer for bufferSerialHasData to follow new convention.
• Renamed sendStreamPacketToTheHost to bufferStreamSendToHost to follow new convention.
• Renamed storeCharToSerialBuffer to bufferSerialAddChar to follow new convention.
• Refactored processSerialCharDevice into bufferSerialAddChar and bufferStreamAddChar.
• Removed ring buffer.

v2.0.0-rc.3 - Release Candidate 3

Enhancements

• Completely redesigned the radio buffer and the stream buffers. Completely automatically tested, 100% code coverage on these sections.

Breaking Changes

• Over the air programming has slowed down from a couple days ago, PTW is reportedly seeing speeds around 750 bytes/sec. However the stability is impressive and worth the drop in speed. Please turn your poll times up to 50 from 80.

Work In Progress (WIP)

• Addresses issue of Read Page Failure on verify of over the air programming.
• Addresses issue of packet loss over distance; still work in progress.

v2.0.0-rc.2 - Release Candidate 2

Enhancements

• Add verification test scripts for time syncing

New Features

• Add private radio command for controlling GPIO 2

v2.0.0-rc.1 - Release Candidate 1

Enhancements

• Add multiple stream packet buffers on the Host code to allow for a better transfer to the ring buffer.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes several bugs with private radio commands
• Removed line of code that dumped the ring buffer on overflow, now packets are not added. Prevents major loss of packets.

v2.0.0-rc.0 - Release Candidate 0

New Features

• Bumped beta to release candidate

v2.0.0-beta.0 - Beta

Introducing firmware version 2 (v)!

• Improved stability.
• Faster and stable over the air programming
• Change radio channels from the driver/PC
• Change the poll time from the driver/PC (allows older computers to do Over The Air programming)
• Get system statuses from simple commands
• Stateless! Can't get stuck in a state.

Libraries and firmware for OpenBCI Radio Modules

Current release of OpenBCI uses RFduino radio modules http://www.rfduino.com/product/rfd22301-rfduino-ble-smt/index.html The RFduino libraries contained here are custom builds for OpenBCI specifically. You must use these libraries to modify or update the Host/Device firmware.

This uses burger ("+") protocol and works with the v1.0 of OpenBCI_32bit_Library.
