Firmware 1.3.0 released

New features for the Make Controller Kit.

A new version of the firmware for the Make Controller is now available.  There are some nice new features, making it easier to work with and more flexible!

Some of the changes that have been made:
  • added an autosend capability for OSC input systems. Now you can turn autosend on and OSC messages will be sent automatically when values change.  No longer are you forced to manually poll the board for values!  Check the info for the analogin, xbee and dipswitch.
  • added support for configuring and using XBee wireless modules via OSC.  Tutorial coming shortly...

Some additions have been made to the API as well:
  • Updated to FreeRTOS 4.6, and fleshed out documentation for RTOS system including queues, semaphores, etc.  See here for more info.
  • Now a full API for working with the MaxStream XBee modules is operational.  Again, tutorial coming shortly...
  • Added documentation for some OSC machinery so it's easier (more visible) to create your own OSC subsystems.  Check the how-to here.
  • Added documentation for web client API...makes it easy to do HTTP GETs and POSTs to your web applications.  See here.

Grab a copy and let us know how it works for you!
