I know IDE 8.0.1.7 is old news but it was the next upgrade from IDE 8.0.1.0. There were several significant changes made in the software that might require changes to programs.

First, the Push and Pop commands were removed. I had them sprinkled in the code as a convenient way of saving variables. I finally got around to doing a massive (and brute force) edit to remove them from all my programs.

Then I discovered that the additional 4 analog inputs were remapped. Programs using the upper four analog channels written for IDE 8.0.1.0 or before must be modified to run on 8.0.1.7. If you used constants it is a simple matter to redefine them. BasicMicro finally released a datasheet for the AtomPro28. The new definitions still don't quite match the datasheet but are closer.

IDE has been superseded by Studio. The beta version generates lots of errors and still needs work. I've been sending BasicMicro code samples to help debug it.

I've added this information to my AtomPro FAQ on my programs page.

BasicMicro has been very responsive and I've gotten a number of issues cleared up in the latest 10.0.0.24 beta release of Studio. They improved the I2C commands considerably and they work now much more intuitive. So far this beta release works fine. I've not found any issues with it. The downside is my software has to change yet one more time. I am slowly converting the programs over and will be posting both on my web site. I'm adding a "S" suffix to the revision to indicate Studio and an "X" to indicate either IDE or Studio.

There were some significant issues with Studio -24. The SHIFTOUT command would not function in fast mode so the DACs could never be programmed. These are fixed in -25 which was released today.

In addition, the I2COUT command will hang if there is no I2C hardware. Several of my PSIM programs initialize the SpeakJet. While this worked with PSIM modules that didn't have a SpeakJet in BMIDE, it does not operate the same way with Studio. Until I get my programs updated, simply delete any I2C commands for PSIM programs.
