Prior

  • Bug Fix, corrected wind configuration. DoAction commands DOWIND & NOWIND now work. Config file variable is now “wind”. Before wind was always enabled.
  • Added LTR390 Support will report as ltruvc and ltruvi
  • When the configuration file is read and if entry “aqs” is not found in the file; a configuration migration takes place. The .TXT files are read in and a new CONFIG.TXT file is written to the SD card. Then the same file is written to non volatile memory. After which, if the SD card is not detected, the non volatile config is used.
  • Cloud updates are disabled by default. When a firmware update is configured on the Particle Device Console. The device is notified that there is a update pending. It then stops taking observations, update rain totals in non volatile memory, enables updates, disconnects from Particle. Then reconnects to Particle. At which point Particle Cloud services will see the device has update enabled and will start the update. If nothing happens for 5 minutes, the device will reboot. If the device is updated, the device reboots as a result. Controlling the update process protects from unexpected reboot corruption of files are being written to the SD card.
