Breaking Changes

The following changes are considered breaking, and will not be compatible with the hardware used in the previous version.

• Migrated to two separate hardware modules to run the blaster. There is now a bluetooth sketch along with a mainboard sketch to distinguish between the two hardware modules. (#71)

Major Changes

• Fixed an issue whereby the blaster locks up when sending bluetooth commands. (#62)
• Introduced a new (optional) PCB to help with wiring consolidation and centralization of the power bus. (#78)
• Added a static PIN code (see documentation) while pairing to the blaster. (#97)

Other Changes

• Added release build workflow outputs for UF2 files that can be deployed directly to the device using the stock bootloader. (#93)
• Removed AppVeyor in favor of GitHub actions.
• Updated the schematic diagrams to use KiCad v6 (beta) and use hierarchical sheets. (#87)
• Connected the project to SonarQube for code quality analysis. (#104)
• Enabled the blaster to change settings even while actively in use. (#84)

Full Changelog: v2.0...v3.0.3

September 2020

This release is primarily focused around adding Bluetooth support for externally controlling the blaster via commands from the companion application.

This release contains the following breaking changes:

• Changes the MCU to an Adafruit nRF52832 for supporting GATT services and characteristics.

This release adds the following features:

• Remote trim adjustment for the flywheel assembly using Bluetooth.
• Notification via Bluetooth of current output for all 3 motors.
• Saving configuration settings on the device to negate having to constantly reapply the settings on restart.

The companion application can be found here:

May 2019

Features include:

• Independent flywheel and belt feed assembly speed control.
• Trim potentiometer support to aid zero of the rounds when firing.
• Low power utilization while not running to reduce power consumption when not actively firing rounds.
• Retention of safety locks to prevent accidentally starting the flywheel motors while the assembly is accessible to fingers.
