\"vscp_new_v2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A new VSCP firmware is released as version 1.6.0.<\/p>\n

The main difference in this release is that the segment controller check has been removed.\u00a0 This means that the node control that was present in register 131\/0x83\u00a0 is now replaced by the error counter.\u00a0 Thus read the current error counter value from this register.\u00a0 Reset the error counter by writing anything to the register.<\/p>\n

With the same segment check removed a node that is moved from one segment to another now must be manually initialized after it has been started up.<\/p>\n

Previously one control byte was used to check for initialized EEPROM.\u00a0 Now this is two bytes. The callbacks for this purpose has therefore been changed.<\/p>\n

Another callback has been added that do the actual initialization of the EEPROM<\/p>\n

An addition is added if you define<\/p>\n
VSCP_FIRMWARE_ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTING<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
which will give access to a method for VSCP standard error reporting<\/a><\/p>\n
\/*!\r\n    Send error event (CLASS=508).\r\n    http:\/\/www.vscp.org\/docs\/vscpspec\/doku.php?id=class1.error\r\n    idx can be used to identify the internal part (\"submodule\") that was the\r\n    origin of the error. Both zone and sub zone are always set to zero.\r\n    @param type This is the VSCP type\r\n    @param idx Index to identify possible sub module. Normally set to zero.\r\n    @return True if event was sent.\r\n*\/\r\n#ifdef VSCP_FIRMWARE_ENABLE_ERROR_REPORTING\r\nuint8_t vscp_sendErrorEvent( uint8_t type, uint8_t idx );\r\n#endif\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
Just remember that over CAN it is no use in reporting communication problems as doing so will most likely make them worse.<\/p>\n
Another addition is added if you define<\/p>\n
VSCP_FIRMWARE_ENABLE_LOGGING<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
which gives access to a method for standard VSCP logging<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\/*!\r\n    Send log event (CLASS=509). \r\n    http:\/\/www.vscp.org\/docs\/vscpspec\/doku.php?id=class1.log\r\n    For loging first send Type = 2(0x01) Log Start then logging events and when \r\n    log is closed send Type = 3 (0x03) Log Stop. To log several things use a \r\n    unique if for each and open\/close each.  \r\n    @param type VSCP logevent type.\r\n    @param id Identifier for the logging channel.\r\n    @param level Loglevel for this log event.\r\n    @param idx index for multiframe log event starting at zero.\r\n    @param pData Log data (Allways 5 bytes).\r\n    @return TRUE if event was sent.\r\n *\/\r\n#ifdef VSCP_FIRMWARE_ENABLE_LOGGING\r\nuint8_t vscp_sendLogEvent( uint8_t type, \r\n                            uint8_t id, \r\n                            uint8_t level, \r\n                            uint8_t idx, \r\n                            uint8_t data );\r\n#endif\r\n<\/pre>\n
As always the Paris project<\/a> and the Kelvin NTC10K project<\/a> can be used as reference code.<\/p>\n
The release is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!
