Change Release Notes

This release does not have many updates, but one of the updates is quite large, so we count that! :)

  • Multiple sound boards can be added to a project
  • New command to play random sound from soundboard: ControlCommand("Soundboard", Track_Random)
  • Camera control has a new threading structure. Should increase responsiveness and speed, but it is mostly upgraded for the upcoming Kinect integration

And also here is the video for the L298 motor drive tutorial:

cool stuff DJ:) Love that R2D2, he moves quick. How did you get him to drive on the table without falling off? is there IR sensor underneath?
