Working hard with the 1.1.0 Sodium release of VSCP and Friends there is not much time for hardware work . But it takes some time to get things from China after all and I had to have a break today and yesterday to clear of some new boards for manufacturing.
First is the Power injector board. Yes you have seen the daisy chain connector on our boards. This boards couple a bunch of boards together in an easy way. Perfect when they sit together in a cabinet.
Next was the Frankfurt USB. This is supposed to come in two versions. One in a closed enclosure and one in our standard din rail/wall mount enclosure. First out is the enclosure type.
Then last we have the Moscow board. This boards allow an ESP8266 to be connected to an Odessa board. Together they form the Frankfurt Wifi module.
Every order that we get through the Frogshop help us to c continue our work. The Kiev nrf2401 board and the other version of the Frankfurt USB board just sits here waiting to be placed in production along with many other exciting boards.
Now back to release work. Btw. RC3 of VSCP & Friends is now available.

The second release candidate of the VSCP & Friends Sodium release for Windows is available for test here https://sourceforge.net/projects/m2m/files/VSCP%20Software/1.1.0%20Sodium/
Please test to install and report any problems.

First batch of cards for the Frankfurt Eth module (PIC version) arrived today. Now I just have to get the VSCP Sodium release out of the door, then finish that, and that, and that, and that… Can hardly wait until I can get this thing up and running.

Not much info other than links recently on this channel but that does not mean that noting is happening. As usual there is +16h/day passes here at the Paradise of the Frog AB and we are working hard to get the Sodium release of VSCP out. YES it has been delayed and this is due to some findings in the serial driver which lead to some other changes in there to. Took some time but are fixed now. It is an amazing and useful driver now I must tell you.
At the moment we are adding some last BIG things and then a release candidate will be available for download.
One of the big questions at the moment is to decide if Lua or Javascripts should be used for the internal script engine in the VSCP daemon. If you have thoughts on this feel free to comment. This same scripting support will eventually also come to VSCP Works. But this is a life decision. Not easy to change after a decision is taken.
Why a scripting engine in VSCP daemon? Well with it you can execute a scripts when an event is received. Thus doing a lot of dynamic things or just if/then handling or simple things like OpenHAB for example do. If we ever get some active UX development this can be extended to a drag and drop interface to make things happen. A bit like node red if you like.
On the hardware side three boards still is in the pipe. Accra, Vilnius needs some final code and are next in line. Frankfurt Eth prototypes are on the way to us at this very moment and will be done after that. Kelvin 1-wire Frankfurt BT will come next. And I can tell you we have a lot more brewing.
So now you know that we are still working here in the north of Sweden. We will be back with more info soon.
