New firmware release 1.3.0.b1

[cfaessler]

Thank you very much guys! The BLE API looks pretty easy to use and nicely designed. This will open us a lot of new possibilities!
I'm planning to setup a Web Bluetooth app which will allow us to easily configure our devices from a website :)

@jswanljung ah yes of course, I should have known. Thanks for your message

@mohpor good point about the order of parameters, we'll correct it.

Regarding the events, we will add more callbacks and events next week, which will include characteristic subscriptions, and notifications for when a connection is open. Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
Daniel

Good job guys!
Can you give us a forcast about the release date of the sleep modes and wifi/bluetooth disabling functions?

@daniel said in New firmware release 1.3.0.b1:

@bmarkus yes, we are aware if this issue, and it's on the top of our list to bring the available RAM to around 96Kb once Espressif starts optimizing the IDF. They have assured us that it will be possible.

God save us!

@rvandam The updater downloads the latest firmware. The updater version is not the firmware version.

The download section of the homepage is still with 1.0.0.b3 What is the update frequency here?

Great that RTC is working now!

Hi @daniel
I have started to code for the new 1.3.0.b1 this morning and I just noticed that there is no event type for BLE Characteristic subscription, probably named CHAR_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT.
Am I missing something? If not, do you have a plan for it in the near future?

Also, it wouldn't hurt if we know when a peripheral has been connected to BLE server too!

One more thing I want to suggest is that to keep the convention of your syntax uniform. Most (I'm to sure if all) call back functions have this syntax: callback(event_handler, event_type, ...) but the characteristic callback is callback(event_type, event_handler,...)
I'm not sure if the function's argument list is important to the functionality itself. I'm not very python say :)

@daniel Great features! Congrats for the Dev Team! Btw, I've got a question about rtc.init tzinfo argument. How to use it? Thanx

LoPy update went smooth.

I see free RAM is reduced a bit again, it is 32k.

This is going to be great!
I have waited for this for so long!
Thanks @daniel and the pycom team!

Cheers,
