Change Release Notes

This release has a few enhancements and a new feature - which I think is pretty neat:)

  • Configure which sensor data is displayed in Sensor Stream Server

  • new Video Player ControlCommand() for FullSreen and Restore Screen mode

  • Variable data are now cleared when a new project is loaded

  • New control SketchPad. Use ControlCommand() parameters to custom draw on the control. Use the control for custom room mapping. Or robot path history. Or face expressions in full screen mode. Or or or:) ... There is an example of how to use it in the Examples folder

  • i2cWrite and i2cRead fix. Look at the i2c example for BlinkM in the Examples folder

  • Memory Garbage collection forced for 3D Robot Designer. If opening and closing the 3D designer dozens of time in a session with lower memory PC would error.

Something is wrong. Something has changed.

I was able to get audio by switching to 4800 baud.

I changed over my other scripts to 4800 but they do not work. Commands to Stop, or to start other tracks do not work. Just replays 1 track.

Checked my audio on the SD card and all is OK.

I have 4 other EZ projects for the same audio module all at 9600 baud and previously working fine at 9600.

Whew, I thought I was losing my mind.

Awesome to hear it was a glitch.

I still owe you a few beers! :D
