hArduino v0.5 Release Notes

Release Date: 2013-03-07 // about 11 years ago
    • 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
