SRV-1 firmware update - interim release (srv1.hex.032307c)
We have posted an interim release of firmware here -
srv1.hex.032707c - firmware image w/C interpreter (rename to srv1.hex)
srv-032307.zip - source code archive
The following additions and changes are included in this release:
- support for 640x480 capture resolution - 'A' command (should have been 'd', but that was already taken)
- support for WiPort at 460kbps
- improved IR sensor support - much better sensitivity and directionality as a result of software changes
- addition of 2 image processing functions
- 'vf' - finds first occurrence of specified color in each pixel column (corollary to 'vs' scan function which finds first mismatch of specified color in each pixel column)
- 'vn' - counts the number of occurrences of a specified color in each pixel column
- elimination of the 'm' function - the vision functions are no longer modal, and 160x128 frames will always be decompressed into YUV
- elimination of 'l' and 'L' locate beacon commands
- elimination of 'x' and 'X' xmit beacon commands
The release version of firmware will coincide with first shipment of the new WiPort expansion boards. The SRV_protocol definition will be updated at the same time.
