Kbox Firmware Versions Save

2018 09 07 - v1.3.6

• Force ESP board definition to generic module w 1MB flash to avoid build error.
• Upgrade ESP platform to 1.8.0 to use ESP8266 framework 2.4.2 which improves stability of the WiFi modules and seems to fix a number of connection issues for other people. Hopefully will also improve KBox wifi stability.
• Add HTTP CORS header on /signalk. This makes KBox compatible with the amazing Kip to display your boat data in a browser.
• Fixed a typo in the reboot reasons.
• Add missing dependency pyserial in the list of dependencies for kbox.py.

Specify a list of default environment so platformio does not build all variants of the project by default.

• Fix a bug which forced us to use program-esp to update the wifi module. It is now possible again to just use the following commands to update KBox:

  platform run -e host -t upload
  platformio run -e esp -t upload
  

• Change default esp upload speed to 921600 because 2000000 does not seem well supported on Windows.

• Changed the 'end of programming' detection method to more reliably detect when we are done programming and reboot KBox.

• Tested the official ESP uploader on Windows and OS X. Comment out the line tools/platformio_cfg_esp.py in platformio.ini to use it. It will be a little bit slower but might work better for some people.

• 2018 07 06 - v1.3.2
  • Changes to the build configuration to improve compatibility with Windows and address breaking changes in plaformio.
  • Fix some issues that prevented the tests and sktool from compiling on Windows.
  • Also added automatic builds on AppVeyor with Windows to hopefully detect Windows issues sooner in the future.
