Wed, Aug 12th 9:41am 2009: Practical Arduino
Originally posted on Practical Arduino A few minutes ago Arduino 0017 was officially released, so fire up your browser and start downloading! You can grab it for Windows, Linux, and MacOS from arduino.cc/en/Main/Software I've been using the beta for a little while and it has some very nice improvements over 0016. The #1 fix is the ability to have multiple projects open simultaneously, which makes it so much easier to copy/paste code from one place to another. The examples have also been updated thanks to some very nice work by Tom Igoe. From the changelog: Documentation / examples * Many new and revised examples from Tom Igoe. Core / libraries * Updated LiquidCrystal library by Limor Fried. See reference for details. * Updated Firmata library to version 2.1 (rev. 25). * Replaced the Servo library with one (MegaServo) by Michael Margolis. Supports up to 12 servos on most Arduino boards and 48 on the Mega. * Improving the accuracy of the baud rate calculations for serial communication (fixing double-speed problems on 8 MHz Arduino boards). Thanks to gabebear. Environment * Synchronized with the Processing 1.0.3 code base (rev. 5503), bringing many improvements (listed below). * New icons and about image by Thomas Glaser (envis precisely). * Support for multiple sketch windows. * The serial monitor now has its own window. * Comment / Uncomment menu item (in Edit) and keyboard shortcut. * Increase and Decrease Indent menu items (in Edit) and keyboard shortcuts. * Support for third-party libraries in the SKETCHBOOK/libraries folder. * Libraries are now compiled with the sketch, eliminating the delay when switching boards and the need to delete .o files when changing library source code. * Arduino now comes as an app file (in a dmg) on the Mac. * Adding the Arduino Nano w/ ATmega328 to the Tools - Board menu.
