v1.9.9 - Configuration & Command Standardization (2025-12-04)

What Changed?

This release focuses on code quality improvements and command standardization. The main changes are: removing redundant functions to reduce Flash footprint, synchronizing hardware state in configuration reset, expanding poll count limits for flexible detection modes, and improving WiFi command naming consistency.

What's New

WiFi Command Renamed for Consistency

What it does: The WiFi connection command has been renamed from WIFI_ENABLE to SET_WIFI_SSID to match the naming pattern of other configuration commands like SET_POLL_COUNT and SET_THRESHOLD.

How to use it:

# Old (v1.9.8):
WIFI_ENABLE <ssid> <password>

# New (v1.9.9):
SET_WIFI_SSID <ssid> <password>

Poll Count Limit Expanded

What it does: The maximum value for SET_POLL_COUNT has been increased from 1000 to 65535, allowing for fine-grained detection sensitivity tuning on longer timescales.

Use case: Testing with different detection poll counts for extended periods.

# Now supports values up to 65535
SET_POLL_COUNT 65535

Installation

What's Different from the Last Version?

✅ Added

  • Expanded SET_POLL_COUNT limit: 1000 → 65535
  • Hardware state synchronization in config_init() (DAC channels reset to threshold 0)
  • MkDocs configuration improvements: GitLab integration, Mermaid/code annotation support
  • Jupyter notebook helper: query() function for simplified device communication

🔧 Changed

  • BREAKING: WIFI_ENABLE command renamed to SET_WIFI_SSID for API consistency
  • Removed redundant config_reset() wrapper function (called config_init() directly)
  • Task automation improvements: interactive file copy, git status display

🐛 Fixed

  • Config synchronization: RESET command now properly syncs DAC hardware state
  • Build flag consistency in internal roadmap documentation

Is It Safe to Upgrade?

Backward Compatible: No (WiFi command renamed)

  • If you're using the WIFI_ENABLE command, update to SET_WIFI_SSID
  • All other features remain unchanged and compatible
  • Recommend updating any custom scripts that call WIFI_ENABLE

Tests Passed

  • ✅ Builds without errors (Flash 22.8%, RAM 6.9%)
  • ✅ Configuration reset properly syncs hardware state
  • ✅ SET_POLL_COUNT validates range 1-65535
  • ✅ WiFi command renamed successfully in all handlers
  • ✅ MkDocs builds with new configuration
  • ✅ Serial communication stable
