Released: 3rd Party ROBOTC Driver Suite V1.8.1

A new release of the Driver Suite has been uploaded to Source Forge.
Changes:

  • common.h: added check for sensor type for all I2C calls.  To disable this check, please refer to the source code.
  • Dexter Industries dGPS: added missing DGPSreadDistToDestination() function
  • HT Angle Sensor: added Sensor MUX support
  • HT Compass: enhanced HTMCreadRelativeHeading() function
  • Lego US: Added lots of new functions:
    int USreadDist()
    bool USreadDistances()
    bool _USsendCmd()
    bool USsetSingleMode()
    bool USsetContinuousMode()
    bool USsetOff()
    bool USsetEventCapture()
    bool USreset()
  • MS Dist: Commands can be sent to arbitrary I2C addresses now with optional argument
  • MS HID: Commands can be sent to arbitrary I2C addresses now with optional argument
  • MS NumPad: Added MSNPscanKeys()
  • MS NXT Cam: Removed printDebugLine from driver

The Mindsensors sensor drivers (where applicable) will all have the optional address argument added to them over the next few released. I will also implement this optional argument mechanism on other drivers to cut down on the total number of functions.
