Yes, it probably looks like nothing happens with VSCP. But rest assure it is. You may have noticed this if you follow some of the subprojects on Github, because this work is not visible elsewhere. Below are some updates.
There is a group at Google groups for VSCP. Join it if you want to discuss VSCP.
vscp-works-qt is the main thing I work with. It is now in a stage that have passed the functionality of the old vscp-works. Still, after three years of development, there is no release because I want to have some last things added to it before I make an official release. The problem with a release is that people will expect configuration file formats etc to be preserved in updates wich of course is extra work for the developer. It works on Linux and Windows and will probably work on Mac to.
vscp-simulator is a VSCP simulator that will run on both windows and Linux. Currently it works over socketcan and Level I but will support Level II and the other transports. It can be used to test your own protocol code and can even simulate the bootloader.
vscp-firmware now contains new code for vscp-firmware builds. This version supports level I and level II and require a bit more powerful hardware then the minimalistic version that was available before. Also there is code in progress for the VSCP bootloader that work both for level I and level II.
vscp has no big updates for the daemon but there is a lot of new helper code here. Bootloaders and transport protocols can now be handled and added to your own programs in an easier way. Docs and examples will follow.
Thats it I think. I will try to make updates on the status more often in the future.
The VSCP project turns twenty four today. HURRAY!
Andy has release VSCP arduino library v2.0.2
Andy has released VSCP framework version 2.0.2
VSCP: You can look at device for device and create control software for each and one of them, we did it another way, we though of a
black box device and created control software that works with everything that exists.
One to unite them all.
So finally the cards and the stencil for Frankfurt Wifi arrives. I have been waiting eagerly for this. This is CAN4VSCP <-> MQTT / vscp-espnow / vscp-tcpip-link.
Still is missing some components but they should arrive in a month or so.
ESP-NOW is a wireless communication protocol defined by Espressif, which enables the direct, quick and low-power control of smart devices, without the need of a router. ESP-NOW can work with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE, and supports the ESP8266, ESP32, ESP32-S and ESP32-C series of SoCs. It’s widely used in smart-home appliances, remote controlling, sensors, etc.
