CYZ_RGB alpha 2 - feature complete
posted on 07 Sep 2008The second release of CYZ_RGB, an alternative firmware for BlinkM, is now ready for download.
The latest release implements all the features of the original firmware.
The program has been slightly tested at a functional level (sitting there and watching the lights go on end off), but has no unit tests.
I usually write loads of tests, possibly before the actual code; this time I was wandering in a completely new area and I knew most of the code was going to be highly disposable. Now that all hurdles have been surpassed, the refactoring stage will go hand-to-hand with writing a thorough test suite. Wish me good luck.
Go read the details.
Goals for next release:
