Anyone tried the latest offering of updates?
I'm being asked to renew my "subscription" and although it's not a great deal of money, I'm reluctant because:
The last 2 or 3 updates included a digital oscilloscope, a serial port monitor, USB programmer (not all may have needed an update) plus updates to the main program. All well and good but the digital oscilloscope was very slow, as was the programmer and both eventually stopped working. I don't do communications so I don't want a serial monitor.
What I did want was a fix to stop the program crashing when Compile, Assemble and Load was selected. Since this "feature" only appeared in the "new" version of the IDE, I think it should have been fixed free gratis, especially since any code entered is lost if this or F9 is selected. It's not a minor irritation.
I would also have expected the exclusion to certain AVR chips of PWM, ADCIN and some serial commands that I don't use, to have been fixed by now.
I have managed to figure out how to make ADC work for AT328P but PWM eludes me. I would have thought that this would be a piece of cake for Vlad.
The exact improvements to updates are never mentioned, so I upgraded a few times hoping that the above would be included, no such luck. All I got was the latest gizmo e.g. digital oscilloscope which I didn't really want anyway plus invisible fixes? If the symptom and fix are invisible, I can't say if if it was something I needed or not.
If I still had the pre yearly renewal programs, I would be tempted to go back to the original version. This may seem like heresey, but I'm getting so disillutioned that I've started evaluating GCB.
So as anyone updated to the latest version and are the above mentioned fixed?
