3.2.1 Released – New widgets!

April 6th, 2011, by Phil

The NETLab Toolkit version 3.2.1 is out. This is a fairly major release, adding several new widgets, major improvements to other widgets, and featuring an improved Hub server application. See the download page to get it, and for more details.

  • NEW – Combine widget that can have up to four inputs and combines them into a single output
  • NEW – MotionTrack widget that uses a camera as an input and outputs X,Y positions based on motion captured by the camera
  • NEW – ServoOut now supports the Arduino, and a bug was fixed so that fractional numbers will now work (the fractional part is now ignored)
  • NEW – AnalogIn, DigitalIn, AnalogOut, DigitalOut now all support the new NETLab Toolkit communication system called HubFeed. HubFeed permits any computer (and in the future phones and tablets) to send to or receive values from any Hub on the network.
  • IMPROVED – The Hub is now more reliable in serial communications. In addition, several bugs are fixed including problems with multiple outputs to digitalOuts, using more than one remote XBee, and problems disconnecting from the Arduino. The Hub also has a new plug-in architecture.
  • IMPROVED – SoundControl has been significantly revised to separate the function of triggering the play start/stop of the sound from controlling the volume of the sound (and it is now possible to control the pan position with a separate input). There are also new options for allowing a sound to play all the way through once triggered, even if the trigger input falls below the threshold. Lastly, there is now a code interface to change volume, change pan, and trigger the sound.
  • IMPROVED – VideoControl has also been significantly revised with a similar approach to the the SoundControl widget
  • IMPROVED – The Insert widget has a new code interface for log recording/playback as well as a loop option for log playback.
  • IMPROVED – AnalogIn adds an easing option, DigitalOut has a code interface, and many other widgets have smaller changes and improvement.
