Coming Soon: Firmware v13 (Codename: OMG)
Whoa! What's this? Firmware v13 for the EZ-B Robot Controller is in testing phase!... Isn't that supposed to be an unlucky number? Well, unlucky for ME because I haven't slept in a week
... So let's see what is new in the coming-soon Firmware v13...
For those who haven't seen the progress over the past week, I have many new features. Including:
- 70 servo Positions (double resolution!)
- 50 servo Speeds
- I2C Read for interactive console (Great for debugging and learning about your i2c device)
- support for 5 EZ-B's at once! (That's 100 Servos!)
- an interactive console to the script engine.
- more object avoidance.
- smarter self navigating.
- Script labelling, goto's and conditions.
- Faster and more reliable Ping Sensor support (with false positive algorythms)
- Improved timing on uart output
- Return() allows returning from a goto label
- Invert servo direction option in Radar Controls
- HTTP Web Server now works with Firefox, Safari, Apple iPhone and Android
Have you been wondering what I've been up to? Oh, there's more... cool Stay tuned
Release date will be in the AM of October 31st 2011. Of course, soon as I actually wake up
70 servo positions! it will be interesting to see how that works and adjustable servo speeds just getting my Omnibot back on his wheels so he will be a getting a major update to his brain as well can't wait
Get some sleep DJ your work is much appreciated big time..
:)
We'll be launching v13 OMG on Monday October 31st. I've asked for all EZ-B purchases made today (Friday Oct 28) be postponed until Monday October 31st so they get the latest firmware.
I have a few people testing it hard, so far no bugs. Fingers crossed it stays that way over the weekend
DJ, What is the proceure to update to V13 when it comes out? The firmware is on the chip isn't it?
bump
Hey, don't bump something that's only a few hours old. Geez, i'm a very busy man
Look at the tutorial section of this website. All of your answers are there cool
Sorry DJ, It had completly diapeared so that is why I bumped it. Also, my bad, I had spent the last hour looking for the obvious, again my apologies.
hehe no problem dude
Another v13 OMG Firmware screenshot... A return stack for Goto's
I've always encouraged people to create multiple Script controls as reusable procedures. It was a clean method of controlling procedures, but enough requests for a return stack came in. I caved, and here you go
