Version 00.93.72

• Add user-defined pulse time for General Purpose IO ports A & B.
• Minor bug fix that prevented the Blink function of the IO ports from being sanity checked against IO port settings.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Changes in this release will cause all EEPROM settings to be reverted to default after the firmware is flashed. It is advised to save an OPZ file of your settings before updating the firmware.

Version 00.93.70

Add selections for the Heclo Shield - the ability to download its firmware, and extra onboard motor driver options.

For more information on the Heclo Shield, please read this thread. Resources are also available on the Open Panzer Downloads page.

Version 00.93.69

Add a pop-up help message if the user appears to be having issues connecting to the TCB.

Version 00.93.68

Slight update to the track recoil user options.

Version 00.93.67

• Add flashing options for generic devices.
• Add ability to query device for what hardware it is using.

Version 00.93.66

• Increased precision of "Auto Stop Engine when idle for" time setting on the Driving tab to 1/10th of second from 1/2 second.
• Hide some unused sound options when the TBS Micro sound card is selected to avoid confusion.

Version 00.93.65

Minor bug fix that prevented Aux output functions from appearing under certain smoker selections.

Version 00.93.64

• The last release attempted to increase the number of switch positions for digital RC channels to 12, this turns out to be unworkable at present and the number has been reduced to 9 (still up from 6 previously).
• Added functions to enable/disable/toggle the smoker preheat delay on the fly.
• Added a generic ATmega328 device selection on the Firmware tab for experimenters and others who want to use OP Config as a convenient firmware flashing tool for Arduino compatibles.

Version 00.93.63

• Add the ability to read up to 12-position RC switches (previous maximum was 6 positions)
• Added functionality to skip the smoker pre-heat engine start delay with a hot-start setting. If the engine is being re-started within the specified hot-start time since the last engine shutdown, the pre-heat will be skipped. The idea here is that the heating element would have retained enough heat within this short time that no pre-heat is necessary. HOWEVER, the user setting is not presently enabled in OP Config as in testing we find that heating elements cool off very quickly and therefore this feature is not likely to be useful. The functionality now exists but it is not enabled.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Changes in this release will cause all EEPROM settings to be reverted to default after the firmware is flashed. It is advised to save an OPZ file of your settings before updating the firmware.

Version 00.93.60

• Added expanded smoker functionality including the option to control the fan and heating element separately with individual levels for each and the option to pre-heat the heating element automatically prior to engine start and even a pre-heat sound option. See the Motors tab of OP Config and the Smoker installation pages in the Wiki for more information.
