Unreleased

1.1.0 - 2021-12-16

Changed

  • Updated dependencies.

  • Updated to Pybricks Firmware v3.1.0:

    Changed

    • Renamed new DCMotor.dc_settings() method to DCMotor.settings() (support#536).

    Fixed

    • Fixed direction for DriveBase.turn() and Drivebase.curve() for some arguments (support#535).
    • Fixed then=Stop.COAST not working in DriveBase methods (support#535).

  • Updated docs:

    Added

    • Added maximum voltage setter for DCMotor and Motor.
    • Documented DriveBase.curve() method.

    Changed

    • Removed duty setting from Control.limits method.
    • Removed integral_range setting from Control.pid method.

1.1.0-rc.1 - 2021-11-19

Added

  • Hub name setting for selecting hub name when flashing firmware (support#52).

Changed

  • Updated to Pybricks firmware v3.1.0c1:

    Added

    • Added DriveBase.curve() method to drive an arc segment.
    • Added then and wait arguments to DriveBase methods (support#57).

    Changed

    • Dropped integral_range argument from Control.pid(). This setting was ineffective and never used. When set incorrectly, the motor could get stuck for certain combinations of kp and ki.
    • Improved motor behavior for cases with low-speed, low-load, but high inertia (support#366).
    • Changed how the duty cycle limit is set for Motor and DCMotor. It is now set as a voltage limit via a dedicated method, instead of Motor.control.

    Fixed

    • Fixed then=Stop.COAST being ignored in most motor commands.
    • Fixed brake()/light.off() not working on Move hub I/O port C (support#501).
    • Fixed Remote() failing to connect when hub is connected to 2019 or newer MacBooks (support#397).
    • Fixed intermittent improper detection of hot-plugged I/O devices (support#500).
    • A program now stops when a Motor is unplugged while it is running, instead of getting in a bad state.

  • Updated docs:

    Added

    • Added ColorLightMatrix class.
    • Added LWP3Device class.

1.1.0-beta.6 - 2021-09-21

Added

  • Show error message if connected hub is running old firmware (support#482).

Changed

  • Updated dependencies.

  • Updated to Pybricks firmware v3.1.0b1:

    Added

    • Support for LEGO Technic Color Light Matrix (support#440).
    • Support for LEGO UART devices with a new battery power flag. This is required to support the new LEGO Technic Color Light Matrix (support#440).
    • Support for the SPIKE Essential hub/Technic Small hub (support#439).

    Fixed

    • Fixed Ultrasonic Sensor and Color Sensor turning off when a user script ends (support#456).
    • Hub reset due to watchdog timer when writing data to UART I/O device (support#304).
    • City/Technic hubs not connecting via Bluetooth on macOS 12 (support#489).

    Changed:

    • Updated to MicroPython v1.17.

1.1.0-beta.5 - 2021-08-30

Changed

  • Updated to Pybricks firmware v3.1.0a4:

    Added

    • Enabled builtin bytearray (pybricks-code#60).
    • Enabled ustruct module (pybricks-code#60).
    • Added alpha support for dual boot installation on the SPIKE Prime Hub.
    • Added pybricks.experimental.hello_world function to make it easier for new contributors to experiment with Pybricks using C code.
    • Added ability to import the main.mpy that is embedded in the firmware from a download and run program (support#408).
    • Added pybricks.iodevices.LWP3Device to communicate with a device that supports the LEGO Wireless Protocol 3.0.00 (pybricks-code#68)

    Changed

    • Move Hub Bluetooth optimizations to reduce firmware size (pybricks-code#49).
    • Disabled pybricks.iodevices module on Move Hub to reduce firmware size.
    • Improvements to pybricks.pupdevices.Remote:
      • Check if a remote is already connected before attempting to create a new connection.
      • Rename first argument from address to name to match documentation.
      • Implement connecting by name.
      • Add name() method.
      • Add light attribute.

  • Updated documentation:

    Added

    • MicroPython module documentation.
    • Examples for hub system functions including stop button and shutdown.

    Changed

    • Build IDE docs as main docs with minor changes, instead of a completely separate build.
    • Moved motor control documentation to the motor page.
