    With the release of our Version 1.2 software for our DataLogger IoT products, we continue to add additional
    functionally to the products capability, as well as fix a number of issues.

    L EARN M O R E A B O U T DATALOGGER

    And with the release, we feel we’ve covered all aspects of a 1.1 release – new functionality, feature enhancements,
    and a wide variety of bug fixes.

    New Features and Enhancements


    Log File Download via a Web Interface
    To allow access to log files located on the DataLogger IoT device, without requiring the removal of the SD card, a
    new Web Interface is provided. Once enabled, you can browse the on-board log files of the DataLogger. Clicking on
    a a filename will download the file.

    Currently file browse and download options are available, but we plan on expanding this feature in the future.

    Additionally, this feature has the following options:

    mDNS functionality allowing you to set a network name for a device if mDNS is supported on your network
    Username/Password authentication for the web interface.

    Note: For authentication use - currently some browsers might require a second login
    depending on settings.
    Note: The datalogger requires restarting if the web interface is enabled

    This feature is enabled in settings under the Preview heading.


    Startup Command Menu and Delay
    To allow start-up time configuration and delay, a Startup Menu was added to the system. Now, at startup a short
    menu is presented for a brief period, allowing modification of the startup options of the DataLogger.

    Startup Menu options:

    Pressing the highlighted letter while the menu is active, will change the behavior of the system. This change only
    affects the current system session.

    The options include:

    'n' - Normal startup


    'a' - Disable I2C device auto load on startup
    'l' - List the I2C devices supported. This device table is discarded after auto-load
    'w' - Disable WiFi
    's' - Disable preference restore during startup

    In addition, the amount of time the menu is displayed is adjustable. This settings is on the Settings/Application
    Settings page, under the Advanced section.

    Quick (!) Commands


    The addition of a quick (!) command system that allows for the direct execution of commands directly from the serial
    console, bypassing the serial menu system.

    An example of this is the display of the "about" page for the system. Normally this would require navigating the serial
    menu system. With the quick command system, entering the value of "!about" at the serial console will display the
    about page.

    The following commands are supported:

    command Description
    !about Display the system about page
    !clear-settings Clear the on board system preferences with a yes/no prompt
    !clear-settings-
    Clear the on board system preferences with no prompt
    forced
    !devices List the currently connected devices
    !factory-reset Perform a factory reset - presents a Y/N prompt
    !heap Display the current system heap memory usage
    !help List the available quick commands
    For setting the device settings via a serial connection. When this command is sent, the system
    !json-settings
    expects to receive a JSON settings file
    !log-now Perform a log observation event
    !log-rate If log rate measurement is enabled, the current log rate is printed
    !reset-device Reset the device - erasing any saved settings and restarting the device
    !reset-device-
    Reset the device, but without a Y/N prompt
    forced
    !restart Restart the device
    !restart-forced Restart the device without a Y/N prompt
    !save-settings Save the current settings to on-board flash
    !sdcard Output the current SD card usage statistics
    !systime Output current system time
    !uptime The uptime of the device
    !device-id The ID for the device
    !version The version of the firmware
    !wifi Output current system WiFi state
    Log Data Rate
    The DataLogger system can now measure the data logging rate. Once this feature is enabled, the system will
    monitor the time between log events. This value is averaged over the latest 10 log events.

    System Info in the log stream


    The system operational parameters can now be added to log stream. This is useful to monitor system resource uses
    over time, or just perform general debugging.

    Currently the following information is provided:

    WiFi SSID
    WiFi RSSI
    Memory Heap free space in bytes
    SD Card free space in bytes
    Uptime in MS

    Feature Improvements
    In addition to the new functionality, we also took input from our customers (and our own use) to expand and
    enhance existing features. While a wide variety of small additions were made, a few notable additions include:

    Serial Console - Value Display – The serial console now shows the current setting value in the menu system.
    Previously this value was only show once that item was selected.

    Serial Console Color – Text highlighting and color were added to the serial console output. If your serial console
    application/command supports it, the menu system highlights key values. This setting is controlled in the
    Settings/Application Settings section of the settings menu.

    Startup Messages – Normally a verbose log of startup options and settings are displayed at system startup. The
    about of information is now controllable - with values of Normal, Compact, Disabled.

    Improved Device Auto-Load – A major update to the I2C auto-load device detection logic that improves device
    detection and address collision prevention.

    General System Enhancements – Internal system job dispatch subsystem update to increase performance
    throughput. Overall decrease in static and dynamic memory usage.

    Bug Fixes
    We also squashed a variety of defects in the firmware. Some of the more notable issued fixed in this release:

    Fixed issue with the LED display logic that caused a system crash if the log interval was less than 100ms
    Incorporate driver updates for greater NAU7802 device output value stability
    Incorporate driver update for the MMC5983MA device
