Firmware v1.1.3 Released

edited February 2016 in Firmware
Firmware v1.1.3 addresses issues sighted by the MetaWear community.

Changes

  • Fixed bug with using accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer simultaneously
  • Fixed incorrect response format from I2C reads
  • Fixed a case where starting the BMI160 accelerometer with the macro puts the board into bootloader mode

Comments

  • Great news.

    Where is this released to? Do we need to wait for the API or sample apps to get updated?

    You press the button to update firmware on either of the apps, or the use firmware update functions in the APIs.
  • Hi Eric, is the issue with sample frequency not really working fixed? Thanks!
  • @kphed
    what sample frequency issue are you talking about?
  • After upgrading to the latest/this firmware on the Metawear C the 'accelerometerBMI160.orientationEvent' is streaming the orientation now instead of sending an event when orientation changed. Is this intentional or do I overlook something?

    I've tested with another MetaWear C that is not upgraded yet to the latest firmware and that one is only sending events when orientation changed. I prefer the latter.

    Here's the code:


     let accelerometerBMI160 = self.device.accelerometer as! MBLAccelerometerBMI160

             accelerometerBMI160.orientationEvent.startNotificationsWithHandlerAsync({ (data:AnyObject?, error:NSError?) -> Void in

                if let orientation = data as? MBLOrientationData {

                    let orientationInt = orientation.valueForKey("_orientation") as! Int

                    print(orientationInt)

                }

            })








  • Same for Flat detection e.o.

    Yes, it appears that something has changed with the interrupt handler, possibly in the attempt to fix the acc/gyro/mag compatibility.  I'll let the firmware guy know to look into it.
  • Great, thanks. Awaiting your update.
