KONNEKTING Device Library 1.0.0-RC1 Release Notes

New and Noteworthy

• completely new programming protocol: Suite no longer writes group-adresses, com-objects etc. one by one, but prepares a complete memory image upfront and writes to arduino memory directly (see: https://wiki.konnekting.de/index.php/KONNEKTING_Protocol_Specification_0x01). With that in place, we can also extremely speed up the partial-programming (only write changes since last programming) and gain more flexibility for future changes.
• added IN/NOTIN/BETWEEN/NOTBETWEEN to parameter, parametergroup and comobject as test type (https://gitlab.com/konnekting/KonnektingXmlSchema/-/commit/692cf83bcbd3729e8eaed351da661fe8292d609f). Requires in any case new TestList-attribute in dependency section. The list-separator is "|".
  • TODO Add example or adapt existing XML example: https://wiki.konnekting.de/index.php/KONNEKTING_XML_Device_Description
• KonnektingSuite now can read your .knxproj exported project file from ETS. Just place it into you project folder and restart your Suite. Once you want to assign a group-address to a com-object, you can search/autocomplete your input with help of the knxproject file you provided.
• You can now assign more than one group-address to one com-object

Porting beta4 to beta5/1.0.0-RC1

Things you need to adapt or consider to port your sketch and .kdevice.xml to beta5:

• Sketch:
  • Function getFreeEepromOffset was renamed to getMemoryUserSpaceStart to reflect the new memory layout.

• .kconfig.xml files have a new format. So you need to start the configuration of your devices from scratch. There's no conversion tool yet available.
• .kdevice.xml also has a new format. To make it work again, you need to:
  • Add SystemType parameter to <Device> tag, typically SystemType="1", e.g. <Device ManufacturerId="57005" DeviceId="255" Revision="0" SystemType="1">. [[
  • Add attribute TestList="" to any <*Dependency> element in your .kdevice.xml
