Afero Secure Radio Library

Version 0.9.217

Welcome

This library implements the SPI protocol used to communicate with the Afero Radio Module on development boards such as the Modulo. It provides a simple API for reading and writing attribute values from an Arduino sketch.

This version of the library support both the Arduino and Linux platforms.

Supported Arduino Platforms

This version of the library has been tested against UNO, Teensy, ATmega2560 and Raspberry PI.

Arduino Installation

• To install afLib for the first time, follow the instructions for Importing a .zip Library on the http://arduino.cc site.
• To update an existing installation with a new version, follow the instructions for Manual installation.

Release Notes

afLib 2/23/17 Release Notes

• Renamed some dubiously-named methods for clarity: onAttrSet -> attrSetHandler onAttrSetComplete -> attrNotifyHandler

• Renamed a bunch of also dubiously-named internal methods and variable names

• Miscellaneous code formatting changes

• MOST developer applications should not require any changes, if you implement onAttrSet and onAttrSetComplete you'll need to change to the new names (see forum.afero.io for some code change notes)

afLib 5/26/16 Release Notes

• Retry the initial sync operation if it fails.
• Remove the old "Collision" message as it was just confusing.
• Print all attribute names and values at startup.
• Switch away from using the String object for debug printing to reduce memory.
• Use the "!Serial" trick to wait for Serial to startup.
• Fix a bug with bool types.
• Remove a bunch of used cargo code.
• Add some comments and rename some methods to make them more clear.

afLib 4/21/16 Release Notes

• Restore a missing paren in boebot_tank example.
• Move the example profiles back to the released version of the profile editor.

afLib 4/20/16 Release Notes

• Add two new examples that demonstrate how attributes can be manipulated either directly or through a transform.
• Fix a problem with initializing the spi_ioc_transfer structure under Linux that was causing errors for ceratin kernels.

afLib 3/24/16 Release Notes

• The library now supports a String of any length. In the previous releases, String support was unreliable.
• The library was extended to support both Arduino and Raspberry Pi using a common code base.
• The library now always calls onSetAttributeComplete for an associated setAttribute call, regardless of where the attribute lives. Previously this function was not called for MCU attributes.
• The library now only allows one set/get attribute call to execute at any one time. Other calls are queued until they can be serviced.
• The setAttribute method names were changed to reflect the associated attribute type. C was not resolving the previous method signatures correctly.
• The Arduino board definitions were cleaned up, plus support was added for the ATMega2560.
