Updates:

  • Update cape detection on Raspberry Pi to account for the Pi booting too fast so EEPROMs are not yet available.
  • Check i2c1 for OLED's on BBB in addition to normal i2c2
  • Allow script installer to check for max versions in addition to just min version (so obsolete scripts can not be shown)
  • Slightly faster boot on BBB (uboot bootdelay setting reduced) (requires re-imaging)
  • Faster Raspberry Pi OLED (increase i2c bus speed to 400khz from 100khz) (requires re-imaging)

Bug Fixes:

  • On WHITE OLED displays, vendor logos were being cut off by one pixel
  • BBB GPIO PWM output causing crash due to latest BBB kernel changes
  • Problem with Front/Back setting on LED Panel page mixing up panels and wiring
  • Prevent saving playlists with no name
  • Don't show options on LED Panel page that are not applicable to installed cape
