DCC-EX Team is pleased to release CommandStation-EX-v3.1.0 as a Production Release. Release v3.1.0 is a minor release that adds additional features and fixes a number of bugs. The team is continually improving the architecture of DCC++EX to make it more flexible and optimizing the code so as to get more perfromance from the Arduino microprocessors. This release includes all of the Point Releases from v3.0.1 to v3.0.12.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Wi-Fi** - works, but can be challenging to use if you want to switch between AP mode and STA station mode.
|
||||
- **Pololu Motor Shield** - is supported with this release, but the user may have to play around with some timings to enable programming mode due to limitation in its current sensing circuitry
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- **New USB Browser Based Throttle** - WebThrottle-EX is a full front-end to controller to control the CS to run trains.

|
||||
- **Add LCD/OLED support** - OLED supported on Mega only
|
||||

|
||||
- **Improved current sensing** - rewrote current sensing routines for safer operation. Current thresholds based on milliamps, not magic numbers
|
||||
- **Individual track power control** - Ability to toggle power on either or both tracks, and to "JOIN" the tracks and make them output the same waveform for multiple power districts.
|
||||
- **Single or Dual-Pin PWM output** - Allows control of H-bridges with PH/EN or dual PWM inputs
|
||||
- **New, simpler function command** - `<F>` command allows setting functions based on their number, not based on a code as in `<f>`

||||
- **Function reminders** - Function reminders are sent in addition to speed reminders
|
||||
- **Functions to F28** - All NMRA functions are now supported
|
||||
- **Filters and user functions** - Ability to filter commands in the parser and execute custom code based on them. (ex: Redirect Turnout commands via NRF24)
|
||||
- **Diagnostic `<D>` commands** - See documentation for a full list of new diagnostic commands
|
||||
- **Rewrote DCC++ Parser** - more efficient operation, accepts multi-char input and uses less RAM
|
||||

|
||||
- **Rewritten packet generator** - Simplify and make smaller, remove idea of "registers" from original code
|
||||

|
||||
- **Fix EEPROM bugs**
|
||||
- **Number of locos discovery command** - `<#>` command
