I am happy to announce the 7th major release of FastArduino platform.

Since release 1.5 (January 2020), the main changes are listed there.

This release brings the following improvements:

  • New API for "future" concept
  • New API for "lifecycle" concept and dynamic proxies
  • Global rework of the I2C support in order to allow asynchronous handling (on ATmega architecture only)
  • Small improvements to Timer API
  • Slight improvements to API of GPIO, PCI and PWM
  • New "test" namespace with a few helper function used by some FastArduino test examples

Note that I2C API changes are unfortunately not fully compatible with existing programs:

  1. If your program uses FastArduino provided I2C devices, then small adaptations will be needed. All examples have been adapted to show these changes.
  2. If you have defined your own I2C device support, then you are out of luck: you will have to rewrite most of it, as I2C device API is now based on the new "future" concept.

Other API changes shall have no impact on existing programs.

Known bugs and requests for enhancements: https://github.com/jfpoilpret/fast-arduino-lib/issues

The platform is well documented:

  • a tutorial allows developers to discover and learn the platform step by step
  • FastArduino core API is documented through doxygen and documentation is published here
  • FastArduino comes with many examples covering all supported features and devices

I hope you'll enjoy playing with FastArduino platform; please submit enhancements you would like
to see in future versions or report issues you may discover.
