v1.0.0 - Initial public release (M5Core2 + ESP32 support)

Highlights

• Added dual firmware support for both M5Core2 and standard ESP32 boards.
• Improved serial communication reliability with fixed 100 Hz communication and batched sample transfer to reduce data loss.
• Updated GUI compatibility with batched data parsing and improved stop behavior.
• Refined available input signals to: step, ramp, and manual.
• Reworked documentation with clearer setup guidance, board selection, and hardware wiring details.
• Cross-platform support: the GUI can be used on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Firmware and Communication Improvements

• Unified configuration and communication task flow.
• Added buffered batching between control sampling and serial transmission.
• Added dropped-sample reporting in data logging.
• Preserved compatibility between firmware output and GUI ingestion.

GUI Updates

• Added support for batched logging payloads in real time.
• Kept compatibility with legacy line-based data format.
• Improved experiment stop workflow to avoid unnecessary reconnect/reconfigure.
• Kept post-stop save workflow available.

Hardware and Wiring Notes

• H-bridge is powered from external 12 V supply.
• MCU provides two PWM signals to the H-bridge.
• Motor encoder is powered from MCU 3.3 V.
• Encoder channels A and B are connected to dedicated MCU GPIO inputs.
• Common ground is required across power supply, H-bridge, MCU, and encoder.

Documentation

• README fully updated in English.
• Added board-variant guidance for M5Core2 vs ESP32.
• Added simplified hardware wiring diagram.
• Clarified that setup is GUI-driven over USB and intended for PC-connected operation.

Notes

• This release targets educational DC motor control experiments and lab use.
• Configuration is managed from the GUI; manual config editing is optional.
