Release v1.7.1

Changes:

• Added test support for MLX90363 sensor
• Shift registers CLK signal unpined from PB3 (now shift registers should have separate clock signal from SPI sensors)
• Axis to Buttons optimization

Fixes:

• Fixed TLE sensors range mapping
• Fixed SPI mode changes causing undesired behaviour
• Fixed disabling buttons for HID report (buttons showing in device dispatcher)
• Fixed edge conditions for axis with encoder source
• Fixed dynamic deadband operation for calibrated axis
• FIxed triggering of center button of RKJX sticks when pressing directional button
• Fixed showing logical buttons mapped on POVs buttons

Note:
Since shift registers clock signal no more can be combined with SPI sensors clock on PB3 pin this version of software may be incompatible with your hardware configuration. If your configuration dont use both SPI sensors and shift registers with PB3 pin for CLK then you won't need any hardware modifications and the software should work for you.

Migrating from v1.5.x without a programmer device
For updating FreeJoy v1.5.x to v1.6.0 run FreeJoy Configurator v1.5.x and upload Bootloader.bin file from the archive to the device.
Then the new firmware can be uploaded via FreeJoy Configurator v1.6.0 as described in wiki

UPD. v1.6.0b4 fixed missing 1st encoder pulse at direction change for encoder_4x
UPD. v1.6.0b5 fixed shift registers operation with encoders connected
UPD. v1.6.0b6 button operation when shift exists but not pressed

Release v1.5.1

Changes:

• Now it is possible to set one Latch pin to several shift register chains
• Support of ADS1115 external ADCs
• Support of AS5600 sensor in I2C mode
• Support of 3-axis MLX90393 sensor in SPI mode
• Support of all MCP32xx external ADCs(изменено)
• Migration to AC6 compiler
• A lot of bugfixes and improvements

Please note that connection of many I2C devices may reduce overall performance of the controller

UPD. v1.5.1b4 fixed SCK pin conflict between MLX90393 and shift registers
UPD. v1.5.1b5 fixed button's states errors when there is an encoder connected to shift register
UPD. v1.5.1b6 fixed center offset when axis center calibrated not to zero

• PID changing is only needed for devices of different types (with different config). If devices have same config there is no need to change PID, all of them will be detected by PC
• Dynamic HID descriptor means all unused buttons and axes will be removed from HID descriptor. Buttons for POVs, shifts and buttons mapped to axes also will be hidden.
