[tuxdroid-user] New firmware preview: 0.3.1 of tuxcore and tuxaudio

[David B. <da...@ja...>]

Hello all,

Since last preview, we improved the light measurement and did a lot of  
cleanup of the code. The audio module handling the flash has completely  
been refactored and a couple of small bugs have been fixed. If you try  
this preview, I'd like to get your feedback if you find any bug or  
regression.
Note that you should get the last daemon from svn if you really want to  
take advantage of the light value.

We are going to add battery level measurement next week as this is the  
last functionality I want to have for 0.3.1 final. This release doesn't  
fix the wifi problem yet, that will be for 0.4.

Cheers,
David

Changelog for version 0.3.1:

(tuxcore)
   * Added doxygen configuration file.

   * Light measurement is now correctly processed in the daemon to have a
     somehow linear curve from the 2 different types of measurements  
(different
     resisotr values). Thresholds for changing the resistor have been  
updated.

   * Major cleanup and commenting. Motor and led modules are considered  
clean.

   * Fixed #6 nd #9 about the leds that were not updated when the eyes were
     closed.

   * Fixed #7 about the eyes commands.

   * Fixed #8 about the flipper movements.

   * Added the missing commands for the motors: CLOSE_EYES_CMD,  
RAISE_WINGS_CMD,
     LOWER_WINGS_CMD, etc.

   * Added the basis for the sleep functions although they are unfinished  
and
     untested.

   * BUG: when 2 events are happening at the same time, they are  
conflicting in
     the event manager.

   * Added programming directives in the Makefile for tuxup, stk500 and  
jtagice
     mkii.

   * Fixed #1 with the patches given by Philippe Teuwen, this now
     fixes the location of the version, revision and author structures with  
a
     linker script in the .version section otherwise gcc is free to change  
the
     order. This also fixes the position of the cpu_nbr and ver_major bits  
in
     the byte as again gcc is free to change that order though this is much  
less
     likely to happen.

(tuxaudio)
   * Refactored the audio flash module and the flash functions are now  
moved to
     their own module (AT26F004), many bug fixes.

   * Imroved the powering of the microphone, the sounds that were heard at
     startup should now be gone.

   * Added the basis for the sleep functions although they are unfinished  
and
     untested.

   * Added programming directives in the Makefile for tuxup, stk500 and  
jtagice
     mkii.

   * Some cleanup.
