v1.0.0

v1.0.0 is the initial release of the OpenMV Arduino RPC library — an Arduino library for controlling an OpenMV Cam (or another Arduino, or a computer) and streaming data from it over CAN, I²C, SPI, UART (async serial), and USB. As the first release there is nothing to migrate from; this entry summarizes what it shipped with.

Highlights

  • Remote procedure calls over any bus — call functions on an OpenMV Cam from an Arduino over CAN, I²C, SPI, UART, or USB, and stream the results back.

  • Controller and peripheral roles — an Arduino can drive a camera as the controller device, or act as a peripheral that a camera or host calls into.

  • Fault tolerant — recovers automatically from loose wires, packet corruption, and timeouts.

  • Data streaming — a streaming mode for moving large payloads such as JPEG frames.

New features

  • The RPC interface implemented across CAN, I²C, SPI, UART (async serial), and USB transports, with a common controller / peripheral API under the openmv namespace.

  • A streaming mode for high-throughput transfers such as image transfer.

  • Example sketches — popular features as the controller device, JPEG image transfer, and moving an image.

  • Linux / Raspberry Pi support.

Breaking API changes

None. v1.0.0 is the initial release — there is no prior version to break compatibility with.
