Espruino 1v92 released

I've just released 1v92 - it's been a while coming, but there are now a huge amount of new features:

• Added Pin.toggle(), eg. LED1.toggle()
  
• Added DataView class
  
• Add Neopixel/WS281x/APA10x LED writing with require("neopixel").write - works on pretty much all devices
  
• A few fixes for potential crashes
  
• Fixed implicit casting to bool/number on ArrayBuffers (#1030)
  
• Fix E.FFT output (enable magnitude when one array specified)
  
• JSON.parse now throws an exception if an incorrect value type is found (fix #1117)
  
• Pipe close event handlers now use 'this' arg - solves auto-closing pipe when piping from HTTP
  
• Increase max graphics size from 1023 to 32767
  
• Add Fat File System support to ESP32
  
• Fix File.read so that end of file triggers pipe.end event
  

• Fix precedence of 'void' keyword (#1079)

• Pico/WiFi: Allow USB HID to work on Windows (from @nailxx)

• Puck.js: Now use 'high drive' mode for GPIOs - provides much more power output on pins

• Puck.js: tweak IR duty cycle, with high drive GPIO the Infrared range is now ~3x more

• Puck.js: Allow Puck.IR to take pins for an external IR LED (#927)

• Puck.js: Allow arbitrary NFC data to be specified (#1021)

• Puck.js: Allow multiple advertising packets to be set at once with NRF.setAdvertising

• Puck.js: Add 'properties' object to BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic

• Puck.js: Perform BLE write without response if that is what is required

• Puck.js: Add BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.startNotifications (#959)

• Puck.js: Added BluetoothDevice.gattserverdisconnected event

• Puck.js: Report back reason codes for BLE disconnect

• Puck.js: char.readValue now returns DataView to be more Web Bluetooth compliant (#1091)

• Puck.js: Respond to conn_params update request, fix puck-puck disconnection after ~65 sec (#1089)

• Puck.js: Change connection params for central mode so NRF.setLowPowerConnection affects connection speed

• Puck.js: Correct reading if using analogWrite to red LED and then using Puck.light()

• Puck.js: stop app_timer NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM errors (trying to sleep for too little time)

• Puck.js: Don't get stuck in 'HID Busy' state if a HID send failed

• Puck.js: Allow services to be advertised (fix #996)

• ESP8266: Add Wifi.setAPIP() and Wifi.setIP

• ESP8266: Add i2c clock stretch (#1097)

• ESP8266: Add ESP8266.deepSleep(micros, option) (#1102)

It's available from the usual places - if you have an official Espruino Board you can use the Web IDE's update feature, and with Puck.js you can use a phone: http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js#firmware-updates

Does the Puck support Central/Peripheral mode? I have read that there are some problems connecting Android devices because they do not support Central mode. Could the Puck work as a Gatt Server and is further configuration required? That should allow more compatibility.

A nice update, really interesting functions.

Yes, Puckjs will do both. When you connect to Puck.js to program it Puck.js is being a GATT Server.

It'd be worth checking out the Puck.js Bluetooth LE intro for more information: http://www.espruino.com/About+Bluetooth+LE

If you have other general questions about Puck.js, please can you ask them in a separate thread though? It'll help to use this one purely for questions about the 1v92 release itself.

Thank you.

I've just tried this update from both nRF Toolbox and nRF Connect on Android and in both cases it results in Puck.js flashing all three LEDs. I can't connect any more. Am I missing something obvious? I've tried various sequences of battery/button but to no avail.

Had you upgraded from a 'beta' firmware (eg, not just 1v91)?

Please could you try this? http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/303637/#13590078

So downgrading to 1v91 and the running those commands to clear out some of the other flash memory

Thanks Gordon. I'm pretty sure I was on stock 1v91. I followed your steps above and it's working fine now.

Great, thanks! Glad you got it sorted!

Very strange though - I tested the upgrade from 1v91 every way I could think of before the release. If anyone else has this problem, please can they let me know? We could try and dump the contents of Flash so I can figure out what happened.

I had the 3 light issue with this code loaded going from 1v91 -> 1v92 if that helps:

var kb = require("ble_hid_keyboard");
var on = false;

function onInit() {
  NRF.setServices(undefined, { hid : kb.report });
  setWatch(btnPressed, BTN, {edge:"rising",repeat:true,debounce:50});
  flashLED();
}

function btnPressed() {
  kb.tap(kb.KEY["c"], 0);
}

var flashLED = function() {
  on = !on;
  LED1.write(on);
  var interval;
  if(on) {
    interval = 5;
  } else {
    interval = 3000;
  }
  setTimeout(flashLED, interval);
};

Please can we stick to discussing this on your original post? http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/306396/#comment13693521
