Users should be able to:

  • Check if they have the most recent version of the firmware installed
  • If they don't, they should be able to automatically update it from the SilverSprint app
@cwhitney cwhitney added this to the v0.1.4 milestone Jun 8, 2017

@cwhitney due to the large number of non-UNO users. maybe this one too:

  • check a whitelist / blacklist for compatible arduino board versions.
  • if the board/version is on the whitelist, no notification
  • if the board/version is on the blacklist, produce actionable error ("click here to order an arduino upgrade.")
  • if the board/version is not on either list, produce actionable warning ("this is an unknown arduino, click here to send info to the developer")

@jonfen What are the primary versions used? I'm guessing the Uno and the Duemilanove? In theory avrdude can flash to most things.

Environment: Windows 10, Arduino IDE 1.8.3, Silversprint_v103_WIN.zip

Arduino Duemilanove Clone: Fails. After installing the drivers that work with GoldSprintsFX (http://www.opensprints.com/howto_install_arduino_ftdi_drivers.php) and updating the sketch to the one that is in the Silversprint_v103_WIN.zip assets folder the settings screen blinks between the X (with FIRMWARE VERSION Unknown) and Checkmark (with no text). The other form elements do not blink.

Official Arduino Duemilanove: Fails. After installing the drivers that work with GoldSprintsFX (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM21226_Setup.zip and C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\drivers\FTDI USB Drivers) and updating the sketch to the one that is in the Silversprint_v103_WIN.zip assets folder the settings screen blinks between the X (with FIRMWARE VERSION Unknown) and Checkmark (with no text). The other form elements do not blink.

Official Arduino Uno (v1): Success. Using Windows installed the drivers that come with Arduino IDE 1.8.3 and updating the sketch to the one that is in the Silversprint_v103_WIN.zip assets folder the settings screen shows a Checkmark (with FIRMWARE VERSION SS_v0.1.1). All is normal.

Official Arduino Uno (v3): Success. Using Windows installed the drivers that come with Arduino IDE 1.8.3 and updating the sketch to the one that is in the Silversprint_v103_WIN.zip assets folder the settings screen shows a Checkmark (with FIRMWARE VERSION SS_v0.1.1). All is normal.
