This is the 1.0.1 Neon release of VSCP & Friends.
If you don't want to read a lot of text but rather want to test as soon as possible go here.
You find the
"The 5 second I don't want to read a shit walk through"
there to if you are like most people.
This is mainly a bug fix release of VSCP & Friends and it fixes many bugs and instabilities introduced by the big changes made when the communication engine was changed before last release.
There are also plenty of new stuff added in this release.
One driver has been added for windows. This is the vscpl2_sim driver which is now available for both windows and Linux and can be used as a device when testing a VSCP system without having physical hardware. This driver is installed by default and the web examples interact with this driver today.
You can read more about it here
The can4vscp driver has been around for a while now but it now fully supports the VSCP serial standard which you can find described here The driver is documented here
Grodans Paradis AB sells a module that uses this driver, Frankfurt RS-232, and which can be used as a low cost interface to a CAN4VSCP bus. You can find more information about this hardware here. While you are there also checkout all the other VSCP modules that are available from the Grodans Paradis AB aka Paradise of the Frog.
So there is a lot for stuff available. If you want to support this development the best thing you can do is to buy something from the Frogshop, or contribute code or report/fix bugs.
A special thanks to Andreas Merkle for code review and many fixes. Thanks also to everyone reporting bugs and "special features".
Enjoy!
