Hey IOIOers, Almost a year since v4.00, and after hundreds of hours of work, I'm pleased to announce the release of the 5th generation of the IOIO software / firmware!
This version has a lot of stuff that I've wanted to include in a long time: new features (extensive motor control API and Android-host-mode support being the biggest), bug fixes, improved compatibility with Android devices and PC operating systems and more. This update applies to both the IOIO v1 and the IOIO-OTG. See the Release Notes<https://github.com/ytai/ioio/wiki/Release-Notes> for more details. While I'm still catching up on updating the Wiki with all the new stuff, but in the meantime, if you're eager to check out the new features, the elaborate Javadocs and the example projects should give you a good start. Even if you're not planning on using any of the new features, I recommend you to upgrade and enjoy the improved reliability (and if for some reason you don't like it, you can always roll back, and make sure to let me know why!). As a side-note, I've released a new version of IOIODude, which should work better on Linux / OSX than the previous one and a new version of the device bootloader (IOIO-OTG). If you're not currently having any particular problems with the ones you already have, I would recommend not to bother updating - nothing too exciting... And another side note, firmware v5 is fully backward compatible with your existing apps compiled against earlier versions of IOIOLib, so you don't have to recompile them. If you do want to, however, there are no breaking changes in the API, so your code should compile cleanly against the new library. So hurry up to the Downloads page<https://github.com/ytai/ioio/wiki/Downloads> and get started. Special thanks to: - Misha and Nadir for the Android-host-mode implementation. - Kusti for the new version of PureJavaComm. - Matthias for the new version of btstack. As always, I'm happy for any kind of feedback, so you're all very much invited to reply to this post. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ioio-users" group.
