Changes for version 2.36.2 - 2017-01-19
- *** this software isn't completely tested. That's on this week's roadmap...
- added function table of contents to POD
- added declaration of custom wiringPiVersion() in XS, but left it commented out as it will break CPAN installs at this time
- added version.patch file in patches/, patch sent to Gordon
- all four setup routines added to test/setup.pl
- added in wiringPi's support for the Adafruit ADS1115 analog to digital converter (I'm going to do a rewrite of this code to support 1015, as well as allowing all ADC options to be configurable, and hope it gets included in the next wiringPi cut)
- added docs/, which includes Fritzing diagrams and schematics
- added DEVELOPER FUNCTIONS section in POD for dev testing of private, unpublished or unreleased functions
- added pseudoPinsSetup() for testing purposes
- reworded POD for setup() routines, as we no longer require root level access to run our scripts (yay!)
- wrote test/pwm.pl, fully tests the hardware PWM functionality
- added test/pud.pl, testing for pull up/down internal resistors
- changed board_rev() references in POD to gpio_layout() (fixes #9)
- added test/pin_translations.pl, test all pin translation functions
- added pinModeAlt() as a developer function (allows setting any pin to any valid mode)
- added digitalReadByte(), digitalReadByte2(), digitalWriteByte() and digitalWriteByte2() as developer functions. Reads and writes an 8-bit byte to/from the first and second bank of eight GPIO pins respectively
- added setup tests, since an issue was found that causes some calls to crash the system (journal, RO), added root checks. Notes taken on sourcing the issue(s)
Modules
