328 chip goes live
23 April, 2011 - 11:23
We've been running an extended beta test program with the ATMEGA328 chip. All seems good, so as from today, all HAH kit orders will ship with this device.
The pre-programmed chip is also up there in the shop. It's a drop-in replacement for the current part (if you use RF devices, you will need to adjust your settings).
New features include better support for the I2C connected PPE chips and the 'Universal RF' capability. Universal RF allows different types of RF devices to be controlled from a single codebase.
Note that we're still experimenting with adding a bootloader to this device.
Sorry if this is obvious or answered elsewhere but could you clarify the "we're still experimenting with adding a bootloader" caveat.
If you get the current chip can you update it 'in situ' when later firmware is released or do you now / will always need additional cable hardware to reprogram ?
