Change Release Notes

Rock'n new release of ARC! Some great new fixes and enhancements. I'm adding lots of neat new features to the Wii Remote - so this is the first of a few releases with Wii Remote enhancements. A few releases ago the Camera control changed to a new threading method - you were warned of a few bugs - those bugs have been resolved.

  • Partial Nunchuck support (almost complete)
  • Wii Remote Button EZ-Script assignment
  • Servo Auto Release new Pause option
  • Wiimote Rumble EZ-Script commands
  • Camera Control Bug Fix
  • Wiimote accelerometer speed enhancement
  • MP3 Playback Bug Fixes - now using NAudio rather than writing my own library

Enjoy!

@winstn60 nice! I think i use the wii remote just as much as the joystick. I use the wii remote mostly for my Wall-e.

The nunchuck code still isn't finished though.:)
