New firmware release 1.6.6.b1

[daniel]

Hello,

We have a new firmware today, version 1.6.6.b1. Here's the change log:

• Add option to set the frequency for the SiPy in FSK mode.
• Add functionality to support LoRaWAN Nano-Gateway Downlinks.
• Fix threading issues with globals and locals not referenced.
• Document deepsleep and clarify uart.newline() method.

The main feature is an important fix for multi-threading where globals would magically disappear making the interpreter raise an exception. We also added some internal features to support the LoRaWAN nano-gateway which is almost ready to be released but we are working out a few details related to the frequency of the second receive windows.

If you haven't got it yet, the updater tool can be found here:

Cheers,
Daniel

Sounds great. Happy you got a flow in FW-releases.
Any news about when you'll release plug-in?

Works great on my LoPy units.
Stable enough to continue development again.
Thanks @daniel
