|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 1.0 - 2011.11.30
|
||
|
||
[environment]
|
||
|
||
* The file extension for sketches has changed from .pde to .ino, to avoid
|
||
conflicts with the Processing software ("ino" are the last three letters
|
||
in "Arduino").
|
||
|
||
* There are a new set of toolbar icons, including a checkmark icon to
|
||
verify (compile) a sketch and an arrow for upload. The serial monitor
|
||
icon has moved to the right of the toolbar. Also, shift-clicking the
|
||
upload icon now uploads using a programmer (selected in the Tools menu).
|
||
You can still enable verbose output in the preferences dialog. (Icons
|
||
were designed by Nicholas Zambetti.)
|
||
|
||
* There’s a new color scheme and about image for the IDE (by ToDo.to.it).
|
||
|
||
* The name of the currently selected board and serial port are now shown
|
||
at the bottom of the editor. (Code from Wiring.)
|
||
|
||
* A progress bar is displayed during compilation and upload. (from Wiring.)
|
||
|
||
[core / libraries]
|
||
|
||
* Serial transmission is now asynchronous - that is, calls to
|
||
Serial.print(), etc. add data to an outgoing buffer which is transmitted
|
||
in the background. Also, the Serial.flush() command has been repurposed
|
||
to wait for outgoing data to be transmitted, rather than dropping
|
||
received incoming data.
|
||
|
||
* The behavior of Serial.print() on a byte has been changed to align it
|
||
with the other numeric data types. In particular, it will now print
|
||
the digits of its argument as separate ASCII digits (e.g. '1', '2', '3')
|
||
rather than a single byte. The BYTE keyword has been removed. To send a
|
||
single byte of data, use Serial.write() (which is present in Arduino 0022
|
||
as well).
|
||
|
||
* The Serial class (as well as other classes inheriting from Stream, like
|
||
EthernetClient, SoftwareSerial, Wire and more) now contains functions
|
||
for parsing incoming data, based on the TextFinder library by Michael
|
||
Margolis. They include find() and findUntil() to search for data,
|
||
parseInt() and parseFloat() for converting incoming characters into
|
||
numeric values, and readBytes() and readBytesUntil() for reading
|
||
multiple bytes into a buffer. They use a timeout that can be set with the
|
||
new setTimeout().
|
||
|
||
* The SoftwareSerial class has been reimplemented, using the code originally
|
||
written for the NewSoftSerial library by Mikal Hart. This allows for
|
||
multiple simultaneous instances, although only one can receive at a time.
|
||
|
||
* Support has been added for printing strings stored in flash (program
|
||
memory) rather than RAM. Wrap double-quoted strings in F() to indicate
|
||
that they should be stored in flash, e.g. Serial.print(F("hello world")).
|
||
|
||
* The String class has been reimplemented as well, by Paul Stoffregen. This
|
||
new version is more memory-efficient and robust. Some functions which
|
||
previously returned new string instances (e.g. trim() and toUpperCase())
|
||
have been changed to instead modify strings in place.
|
||
|
||
* Support for DHCP and DNS has been added to the Ethernet library, thanks
|
||
to integration by Adrian McEwen. Most classes in the Ethernet library
|
||
have been renamed to add a "Ethernet" prefix and avoid conflicts with
|
||
other networking libraries. In particular, "Client" is now
|
||
"EthernetClient", "Server" is "EthernetServer", and "UDP" is
|
||
"EthernetUDP". A new IPAddress class makes it easier to manipulate
|
||
those values.
|
||
|
||
* The UDP API has been changed to be more similar to other libraries.
|
||
Outgoing packets are now constructed using calls to the standard write(),
|
||
print(), and println() functions – bracketed by beginPacket() and
|
||
endPacket(). The parsePacket() function checks for and parses an
|
||
incoming packet, which can then be read using available(), read(), and
|
||
peek(). The remoteIP() and remotePort() functions provide information
|
||
about the packet’s origin. (Again, thanks to Adrian McEwen for the
|
||
implementation.)
|
||
|
||
* The Wire library has also been modified to use the standard read() and
|
||
write() functions instead of send() and receive(). You can also use
|
||
print() and println() for outgoing data.
|
||
|
||
* The SD library now supports multiple simultaneous open files. It also
|
||
provides the isDirectory(), openNextFile(), and rewindDirectory()
|
||
functions for iterating through all the files in a directory. (Thanks
|
||
to Limor Fried.)
|
||
|
||
[boards / firmwares]
|
||
|
||
* Added the Arduino Mini w/ ATmega328.
|
||
|
||
* Added Windows drivers (.inf files) and 16U2 firmware (.hex files) for
|
||
the rev. 3 boards (Uno, Mega, and Mega ADK).
|
||
|
||
[internals]
|
||
|
||
* The WProgram.h file, which provides declarations for the Arduino API,
|
||
has been renamed to Arduino.h. To create a library that will work in
|
||
both Arduino 0022 and Arduino 1.0, you can use an #ifdef that checks
|
||
for the ARDUINO constant, which was 22 and is now 100. For example:
|
||
|
||
#if defined(ARDUINO) && ARDUINO >= 100
|
||
#include "Arduino.h"
|
||
#else
|
||
#include "WProgram.h"
|
||
#endif
|
||
|
||
* The write(), print(), and println() functions in Stream now return a
|
||
size_t (instead of void). This indicates the number of bytes actually
|
||
written by the function. Any classes that inherit from Stream will need
|
||
to change accordingly. Additionally the write(str) function has been
|
||
given a concrete implementation – it calls write(buf, len) - so
|
||
sub-classes don't need to (and shouldn't) implement it.
|
||
|
||
* There are new abstract base-classes for Client, Server, and UDP to
|
||
provide portability across networking libraries.
|
||
|
||
* The pin definitions for the Arduino boards (i.e. the mappings from pin
|
||
numbers to port register / bit pairs) is now stored in a sub-folder of
|
||
a new variants/ folder in the hardware folder. The variant to use for
|
||
a given board is specified by the BOARD.build.variant preference in the
|
||
boards.txt file.
|
||
|
||
* The new, variant-specific pins_arduino.h files now provides additional
|
||
macros with information about the characteristics of the board (e.g.
|
||
the locations of the SPI and TWI pins, and the number of digital and
|
||
analog pins).
|
||
|
||
* The avrdude included with the Mac and Windows versions of the Arduino
|
||
software has been upgraded to avrdude 5.11 (from an Arduino-specific
|
||
version of avrdude 5.4). The software now uses the "arduino" programmer
|
||
type in place of "stk500v1" for uploading to most Arduino boards.
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0023 - 2011.11.09

||
|
||

|
||
MemoryCard library by Philip Lindsay (follower) for SparkFun.
|
||
http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SD
|
||
|
||
* Added character manipulation macros (from Wiring): isAlphaNumeric(),
|
||
isAlpha(), isAscii(), isWhitespace(), isControl(), isDigit(), isGraph(),
|
||
isLowerCase(), isPrintable(), isPunct(), isSpace(), isUpperCase(),
|
||
isHexadecimalDigit(), toAscii(), toLowerCase(), toLowerCase().

|
||
|
||
[documentation / examples]
|
||
* New communication examples (w/ corresponding Processing and Max/MSP code) by
|
||
Tom Igoe.
|
||
|
||
[core / libraries]
|
||
* Adding support for the Arduino Pro and Pro Mini 3.3V / 8 MHz w/ ATmega328.
|
||
* Adding support for the LilyPad Arduino w/ ATmega328.
|
||
* Adding write(str) and write(buf, size) methods to Print, Serial, and the
|
||
Ethernet library Client and Server classes. This allows for more efficient
|
||
(fewer packet) Ethernet communication. (Thanks to mikalhart.)
|
||
* Improvements to the way the Ethernet library Client class connects and
|
||
disconnects. Should reduce or eliminate failed connections and long
|
||
timeouts. (Thanks to Bruce Luckcuck.)
|
||
* Optimizing the timer0 overflow interrupt handler (used for millis() and
|
||
micros()). Thanks to westfw and mikalhart.
|
||
* Fixing bug that limited the bit() macro to 15 bits. Thanks to Paul Badger.
|
||
* Adding ARDUINO version constant (thanks to prodding from mikalhart).
|
||
|
||
[environment]
|
||
* Ordering the items in the Tools > Board menu.
|
||
* Adding "Copy as HTML" command to the Tools menu.
|
||

|
||
Thanks to the Clever Monkey.
|
||
* Moving selection of Linux look-and-feel into the arduino script so it can
|
||
be changed by users. Thanks to Eberhard Fahle.
|
||
|
||
[tools]
|
||
* Adding automatic dependency generation to the Makefile. (Lars Immisch)
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0015 - 2009.03.26
|
||
|
||
[core / libraries]
|
||
* Adding support for the Arduino Mega (ATmega1280).
|
||
|
||
[environment]
|
||
* Reinstating use of core.a library in the build process, slightly shrinking
|
||
compiled sketch sizes. (Thanks to William Westfield.)
|
||
* Fixing bug in copy for forum (thanks to eried).
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0014 - 2009.03.07
|
||
|
||
[core / libraries]
|
||
* Fixing bug that prevented multiple outgoing Client connections with the
|
||
ethernet library.
|
||
|
||
[environment]
|
||
* Clarifying ATmega168 vs. ATmega328 in the Tools > Boards menu.
|
||
|
||
[tools]
|
||
* Updating the Mac OS X AVR tools to AVR MacPack 20081213. This includes
|
||
avr-gcc 4.3.2, which should fix problems with functions called from
|
||
within interrupts.
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0013 - 2009.02.06
|
||
|
||
[documentation / examples]
|
||
* Adding examples for Parallax Ping Sensor and Memsic 2125 accelerometer.
|
||
|
||
[core / libraries]
|
||
* Adding support for the ATmega328. The upload speed is 57600 baud, so you
|
||
may need to edit boards.txt or reburn your bootloader if you bought an
|
||
ATmega328 w/ bootloader from adafruit or other supplier.
|
||
* Adding support for printing floats to Print class (meaning that it works
|
||
in the Serial, Ethernet, and LiquidCrystal classes too). Includes two
|
||
decimal places.
|
||
* Added word, word(), bitRead(), bitWrite(), bitSet(), bitClear(), bit(),
|
||
lowByte(), and highByte(); see reference for details.
|
||
* Working around problem that caused PWM output on pins 5 and 6 to never go
|
||
to 0 (causing, for example, an LED to continue to glow faintly).
|
||
* Removing cast macros, since function-style casts are a feature of C++. This
|
||
should fix contributed libraries that broke in Arduino 0012.
|
||
* Modifying pulseIn() to wait for a transition to start timing (i.e. ignoring
|
||
any pulse that had already started when the function was called).
|
||
* Fixing bug in random() that limited the ranges of values generated. Thanks
|
||
to Mikal Hart.
|
||
* Modifying delay() to pause for at least the given number of milliseconds.
|
||
* Fixing bug in Ethernet library that interfered with use of pins 8 and 9.
|
||
* Originating each outgoing network connection from a different port (in the
|
||
Client class of the Ethernet library). Thanks to Paul and joquer.
|
||
* Updating ATmega168 bootloader to work with standard distributions of avrdude
|
||
(responding to signature requests made with the universal SPI command) and
|
||
correctly store EEPROM data. Thanks to ladyada.
|
||
|
||
[environment]
|
||
* Omitting unused functions from compiled sketches, reducing their size.
|
||
* Changing compilation process to allow for use of EEMEM directive (although
|
||
not yet uploading EEPROM data).
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0012 - 2008.09.18
|
||
|
||
* Added Arduino Nano to the boards menu.
|
||
* Arduino Pro or Pro Mini (8 MHz) to the boards menu.
|
||
* Added Firmata library by Hans Steiner and others. This provides a standard
|
||
protocol for communicating with software on the computer.
|
||
* Added an Ethernet library for use with the Arduino Ethernet Shield.
|
||
* Added a Servo library based on the work of Jim Studt.
|
||
* Added a LiquidCrystal library based on the work in the playground. It
|
||
supports both 4- and 8-bit modes.
|
||
* Improved millis(): it now overflows after 49 days instead of 9 hours, but
|
||
now uses slightly more processing power.
|
||
* Fixed reversing direction bug in Stepper library. (Thanks to Wayne Holder.)
|
||
* Moved insertion of #include <WProgram.h> to after any comments and #include
|
||
statements in the main sketch file. This means that an #include <stdlib.h>
|
||
now works.
|
||
* Upgraded to newer versions of avr-gcc (4.3.0) and avr-libc (1.6). This
|
||
provides support for newer Atmel chips, but may increase the size
|
||
of sketches.
|
||
* Allowing per-board specification of the upload.using preference, allowing
|
||
upload via bootloader to some boards and via a programmer to others.
|
||
* Added return values to some functions in the Wire library to allow for
|
||
better error handling.
|
||
* Fixed random() to work with long values.
|
||
* Creation of an abstract Print base-class to allow Serial, SoftwareSerial,
|
||
and LiquidCrystal to share code for print() and println().
|
||
* Incorporated ladyada's watchdog timer mods to the bootloader source, but
|
||
only compiling them in for the Pro and Pro Mini (because they are included
|
||
in the bootloader being burned on the boards by SparkFun).
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0011 - 2008.03.28
|
||
|
||
* Fixed Find in Reference.
|
||
* Added map() function for mapping values from one range to another.
|
||
* Added analogReference() function.
|
||
* Added interrupts() and noInterrupts() functions.

|
||
* Added timeout parameter (in microseconds) to pulseIn(); default is 1 second.
|
||
* Support for uploading sketch using a programmer.
|
||
* Improved detection of functions that need prototyping.
|
||
* Placing function prototypes after #include's and #define's.
|
||
* No longer moving #include statements to the top of the sketch.
|
||
* Can now drag .pde files onto the Arduino dock icon on Mac OS X.
|
||
Thanks to Peter Sgouros.
|
||
* New script for downloading the reference from Tom Pollard. Thanks Tom!
|
||
* Miscellaneous Mac OS X and other patches from Wim Lewis. Thanks Wim!

|
||
* New and improved keyboard shortcuts.
|
||
* Fixed some find/replace bugs.
|
||
* Better auto-format.
|
||

|
||
|
||
* Added support for the Arduino Diecimila.
|
||
* Switched to using avrdude (instead of uisp) for uploading sketches.
|
||
* Added the ability to burn NG and Diecimila bootlaoders (with an AVRISPmkII).
|
||
* Fixed a bug in SoftwareSerial (a hardware serial function was being called
|
||
instead of the software serial equivalent). Thanks to brianbr for the
|
||
report and fix.
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0008 - 2007.06.09
|
||
|
||
* Updated examples (in distribution and on the website).
|
||
* Added an EEPROM library (see reference for details).
|
||
* Added a Stepper motor library (see reference).
|
||
* Patched to reduce binary sketch sizes by building the Arduino core as
|
||
a library (.a) file - now only the needed parts of the core are linked into
|
||
a sketch. Originally written by Nicolas Roland, revised by Don Cross.
|
||
* Fixed bug in Serial.available(). Report and fix by Don Cross.
|
||
* Now recompiling libraries when switching microcontrollers. Report by
|
||
Julian Bleecker; fix by Nicholas Zambetti.
|
||
* Cleaned up core functions: moved pin definitions into program space to save

|
||
* Activating TWI/I2C pullup resistors on the ATmega168 (in addition to the
|
||
ATmega8).
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0007 - 2006.12.25
|
||
|
||
* Smaller core (about 3.5 KB instead of 4.5 KB).
|
||
* Added a SoftwareSerial library (thanks to Antonio, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, and
|
||
bigengineer for their help).
|
||
* Implemented a Serial.flush() routine; see reference for details.
|
||
* Digital pins 0 and 1 can be used for i/o until a call to Serial.begin().
|
||
* Replaced avr-lib's uart routines with custom code for handling serial
|
||
communication and modified C++ serial commands to call the C serial commands;
|
||
the code may behave slightly differently in border cases (e.g. non-standard
|
||
speeds, or on overflow).
|
||
* Added attachInterrupt() and detachInterrupt() functions for handling of
|
||
external interrupts on pins 2 and 3.
|
||
* Implemented shiftOut() routine; see reference for details.
|
||

|
||
* Mac versions no longer require running of the macosx_setup.command script.
|
||
* Windows version comes with the FTDI USB drivers already unzipped.
|
||
* New Linux binary distribution (still requires some programs to be
|
||
pre-installed).
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0006 - 2006.10.21
|
||
|
||
* Mac version no longer requires Java 1.5, meaning it should run on 10.3.9.
|
||
* Added support for analog inputs 6 and 7 and pwm on pins 5 and 6 on the
|
||
on the ATmega168 used in the Arduino Mini (extra analog inputs not available
|
||
in DIP ATmega168s).
|
||
* You now select the baud rate for the serial monitor from within the editor
|
||
status bar when the serial monitor is running instead of from the Tools menu.
|
||
* Pressing enter within the serial monitor edit box no longer appends a newline
|
||
to the message sent to the board.
|
||
* Included the Wire (TWI) library from Wiring.
|
||
* Updated the reference.
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0005 - 2006.09.26
|
||
|
||
* Applied patch from Hans Steiner to improve Linux support by searching for avr
|
||
tools in the user's path instead of expecting them at a fixed location.
|
||
* Added an upload.verbose preference for help in debugging.
|
||
* ATmega168 support!
|
||
* New Wiring-compatible randomSeed(), random(max) and random(min, max) functions
|
||
(except operating on longs instead of floats).
|
||
* Fixed bug that sometimes caused uploading of old versions of a sketch.
|
||
* Serial monitor nows include an interface to send messages to the Arduino
|
||
board. Pressing return appends a newline, pushing the send button doesn't.
|
||
* Now displaying "burning bootloader..." and "compiling..." status messages.
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0004 - 2006.04.26
|
||
|
||
* Main sketch is now compiled as C++ (instead of C).
|
||
* Updated avr toolchain.
|
||
* printInteger(), printHex(), etc. now handle longs.
|
||
* millis() fixed (now overflows after days, not minutes)
|
||
* Fixed path to java in Windows run.bat.
|
||
* Added Matrix and Sprite libraries (written with Nicholas Zambetti).
|
||
* PWM now working on pin 11 (in addition to pins 9 and 10).
|
||
* Slowed PWM frequency (on all three PWM pins) to 1KHz.
|
||
* Now give an error if compiled sketch is too big.
|
||
* Fixed abs(), min(), max(), and constrain() macros.
|
||
* Added menu items to the IDE to burn bootloader.
|
||
* Now display binary sketch size on upload, and give error if too big.
|
||
* Added C++ serial library.
|
||
* Resynced with Processing/Wiring IDE code (improved auto-format, faster logging
|
||
to serial monitor console, other bug fixes)
|
||
* New library system.
|
||
* Updated to latest version of the RXTX serial library; Mac users will need to
|
||
rerun macosx_setup.command.
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0003 - 2006.01.16
|
||
|
||
API Changes
|
||
* Reversed the analog input pins to correspond to newer boards. This means
|
||
a call, for example, to analogRead(0) must be changed to analogRead(5) in
|
||
order to read the same physical pin.
|
||
* Added a printNewline() function (which sends '\n' = ASCII 10).
|
||
|
||
New Stuff
|
||
* Reference is included (features native to C not yet documented).
|
||
* Serial monitor added (click the toolbar button to turn it on or off). Baud
|
||
rate is controlled by the Serial Monitor Baud Rate Menu, defaults to 9600.
|
||
Icon and implementation from Wiring.
|
||
* Serial port menu now automatically refreshes when opened.
|
||
* New blue color scheme and icons courtesy of Noah Shibley (colors are hardcoded
|
||
into the source to ensure consistency with image files).
|
||
* Keyspan and FTDI USB drivers included with Mac and Windows distributions.
|
||
|
||
Bug Fixes
|
||
* millis() now updates every millisecond instead of every second.
|
||
* Bootloader included with Windows distribution (it was already in the Mac
|
||
dist).
|
||
* Updated icon of the Windows executable.
|
||
* Now flushing the serial port before uploading (should fix some errors).
|
||
* Improved accuracy of the delayMicroseconds() function.
|
||
|
||
Other
|
||
* Upload rate no longer selectable from a menu within the IDE. Instead, edit
|
||
the serial.download_rate item in the preferences.txt file.
|
||
* Created Xcode project for building Arduino on the Mac (doesn't yet regenerate
|
||
the grammar files or package the distribution); active target should be "App".
|
||
* Removed unused or unimplemented items from menus.
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0002 - 2005.10.05
|
||
|
||
* New build process no longer uses makefiles; now controlled by preferences.txt.
|
||
* core/ replaced with targets/; can now link against Wiring libraries.
|
||
* Replaced print() with printString, printInteger, printHex, printByte, etc.
|
||
* Added menu for selecting serial port speed.
|
||
* Updated icon.
|
||
* Bootloader shrunk to less than 1 KB; fuses updated accordingly.
|
||
* Added serialRead(), serialAvailable(), and delayMicroseconds().
|
||
|
||
ARDUINO 0001 - 2005.08.25
|
||
|
||
* This is the first released of the unified IDE + language library
|
||
it's a terrible hack... but it works. at the moment it's in alpha stage
|
||
but it can be used to work.
|
||
* The processing preprocessor is included but not used.
|
