Changelog History

  • v1.1 Changes

    March 27, 2016
    • Unfortunately the Firmata project moved on, and hArduino no longer works with the latest release of StandardFirmata. This release mainly makes a note of this fact, and points to an older version of StandardFirmata that hArduino has been tested against. Volunteers encouraged to contribute to bring hArduino up-to-date: Contact me if interested!

    In the mean-time, use the following version of StandardFirmata, which is known to work with hArduino: (http://github.com/LeventErkok/hArduino/blob/master/StandardFirmata/StandardFirmata.ino)

    • Make the pin-capabilities code robust, by explicitly catching (and ignoring) capabilities we do not know/care about. Previously we were simply using toEnum, which choked with new versions of Firmata as they added new options. Thanks to Can Akcura on Github for pointing out the issue.

  • v0.9 Changes

    February 09, 2014
    • Added example program for Morse encoding. Original idea by Antoine Dumont. Thanks!

  • v0.8 Changes

    December 15, 2013
    • Add support for Piezo speakers
    • Add simple musical note playing support, and a jingle-bells playing example. (Not a great rendering, but still recognizable!)

  • v0.7 Changes

    November 09, 2013
    • Export LCD type, for ease of programming
    • Added the number guessing game using the OSEpp shield. Thanks to David Palmer for lending me his shield to play with!

  • v0.6 Changes

    March 08, 2013
    • Make hArduino Windows friendly by removing dependence on the unix package. Thanks to Andriy Drozdyuk for pointing out the Windows compilation issue. (Tested on Windows 7.)

  • v0.5 Changes

    March 07, 2013
    • New hardware components supported:
      • Shift-registers
      • Seven-segment displays
      • Servo-motors
    • New examples:
      • PulseIn: Demonstrates the use of reading pulses
      • PulseOut: Demonstrates the use of sending pulses
      • Distance: Measure the distance using an HC-SC04 sensor
      • Seven-segment: Display characters on a seven-segment display
      • Servo: Control a servo board
    • New functions:
      • pulseIn_hostTiming/pulseOut_hostTiming: Send and receive pulses.
        • NB. These functions use host-timing: watch out for accuracy
      • pulse: Send and receive a digital pulse on a pin.
        • This function is more accurate than the pair above, as it uses a custom Firmata command to measure the pulse. However, you need a custom Firmata version to use this function, as the standard version that ships with Arduino as of March 2013 does not support this functionality yet.
      • time: Measure the time taken by an Arduino action
      • timeOut: Run an action only for the given-time-out

  • v0.4 Changes

    March 05, 2013
    • Bugfix: Remove spurious extra call to user program
    • Rework pin assignment logic, making use of analog/digital pins much more clearer.
    • Better exception handling
    • Remove threadDelay workaround on the Mac. NB. If you are running on OSX, then you need at least GHC 7.6.2!

  • v0.3 Changes

    February 10, 2013
    • Library
      • Add support for pull-up resistors
      • Implement routines for waiting on digital triggers
      • Add support for reading analog values and setting sampling frequency.
      • Add support for LCDs (based on the Hitachi 44780 chip)
      • Better handling for Ctrl-C interrupts
    • Examples
      • Counter: Use push buttons to count up and down
      • Analog: Reading analog values
      • LCD: Control an LCD, writing text/glyphs etc

  • v0.2 Changes

    January 28, 2013
    • Library
      • Rewrite the communication engine
      • Digital input/output implementation
    • Examples
      • Button: Detecting putton pushes

  • v0.1 Changes

    January 14, 2013
