| | 17 | <ul> |
| | 18 | <li>Support for new digital sensors:</li> |
| | 19 | <ul> |
| | 20 | <li>HiTechnic Infrared Seeker</li> |
| | 21 | <li>HiTechnic Acceleration Sensor</li> |
| | 22 | <li>HiTechnic Magnetic Compass Sensor</li> |
| | 23 | </ul> |
| | 24 | <li>New function COM_ReadI2C for easy implementation of more digital sensors</li> |
| | 25 | <li>New utility OptimizeToolboxPerformance to use binary versions of some lowlevel functions</li> |
| | 26 | <li>New tools for benchmarking and testing, more demos and examples</li> |
| | 27 | <li>Added an optional NXT-handle argument to almost all high-level functions (easier multi-NXT support)</li> |
| | 28 | <li>Added direct command NXT_MessageWrite for access to mailboxes and inter-NXT Bluetooth communication</li> |
| | 29 | </ul> |
| | 30 | <li><b>Bug fixes and improvements:</b></li> |
| | 31 | <ul> |
| | 32 | <li>Improved I2C performance of digital sensors (including ultrasound) by about 100%</li> |
| | 33 | <li>Various lowlevel performance improvements in different functions </li> |
| | 34 | <li>Overall performance after calling the tool OptimizeToolboxPerformance up to 3 times faster (depending on machine)</li> |
| | 35 | <li>Fixed a bug in ResetMotorAngle that would cause an error</li> |
| | 36 | <li>Fixed a bug in SwitchLamp that caused it to not work properly</li> |
| | 37 | <li>Updated GUI_WatchMotorState to new toolbox release</li> |
| | 38 | <li>Updated GUI_WatchSensor to new toolbox release, now also supports Ultrasound (and US-compatible digital sensors)</li> |
| | 39 | <li>Updated libusb and fantom library prototype files to new MATLAB 2008a syntax.</li> |
| | 40 | <li>Fixed a condition with unclear warnings in COM_OpenNXTEx</li> |
| | 41 | <li>Updated documentation</li> |
| | 42 | </ul> |
| | 43 | <li><b>Known bugs and limitations:</b></li> |
| | 44 | <ul> |
| | 45 | <li>Programs working with toolbox version 1.00 are not working out of the box with version 2.00. The code for opening |
| | 46 | and closing connections to the NXT brick has to be updated (programs written for version 2.00beta do not have to be modified). |
| | 47 | See help-section "Guideline for new v2.00 features".</li> |
| | 48 | <li>System functions, especially the new I/O Map Module functions, do not work with USB-connections in Windows.</li> |
| | 49 | <li>Old limitations from version 1.00 regarding hardware compatibility and problems with various Bluetooth adapters still apply.</li> |
