pbLua Beta 18a released
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Here’s a message from Ralph Hempel, developer of pbLua:
I’m pleased to announce the release of pbLua Beta 18a. Yes, I’m still calling it Beta, but the feature set is pretty much frozen and I’m just fixing bugs as they come up. I expect to do a non-Beta release Real Soon Now…
The main pbLua site is now easily found here
You can download the latest zip file with firmware and sample code here
There are tutorials here
Here is a summary of the new stuff - and I think I’ve got the last of the really ugly bits cleaned off…
1. Reduced image size (134.5K) - more room for file and log storage (121.5K)
2. Support for the NXT 2.0 color sensor
3. Generally improved sensor handling - just specify the type, no need to fiddle with the direction and value of the digital I/O
4. Preprocess sensor values in raw, pct full scale, edge, pulse and other modes. Support (untested) for RCX angle sensor
5. Support for the synchronise mode on motors
6. Selectively load portions of the NXT library to save RAM space
Have fun, and please feel free to email me with any questions.
Ralph
