Hawk Pro Baseboard
| 1.9 |
Support for 5 actions per task Increased the maximum number of registers to 40 for the Modbus Action (Registers mapped to Analogs 21+ will not show on TG). Fixed timeout race condition on boot that could render device bricked until hard reset Fixed 10s LED flashing on commit being cut-off early in stay-connected mode if the device needed to reset Fixed issue with synced tasks running twice when time is updated |
| 1.8 |
Support for upload only tasks (i.e. no gps fix or card action). On power on reset, LED flashes rapidly for 10s on successful commit (data upload) to the server. Set vbat good status flag if charger is disabled. Fix for TG showing low battery indicator. Support for running tasks synced to hours. |
| 1.7 |
Added 4 addititional Digital Input monitors a total of 6. Added 2 additional Analog Monitors for a total of 4. Introduced the ability for Analog Monitors to monitor whether a value is inside or outside of a range. |
| 1.6 |
Required for Bluetooth Card support Required for the Generic Modbus Action Support for setting digital input counts (on baseboard and card) Added async to run a task |
| 1.5 |
Updated NCS to v2.3.0 Support for mfw v1.3.3 and v1.3.4. |
| 1.4 |
Increased battery voltage update frequency Fixed battery good flag/digital input not being cleared. Temperature is sampled after a task instead of after the device wakes up. Added low battery threshold parameter. |
| 1.3 | Fix for analog value (Vext, Vbat, temp) not updating on the heartbeat. |
| 1.2 [First Production Release] |
UVLO Improvements Failed actions (e.g. sensor read) logged as severe debug log for debugging Analog value clears if sensor reading fails (requires card firmware update) |
Hawk Lite Baseboard
| 1.2 | - Support for 5 actions per task - Support for 50 analogs (analogs 21+ will not show on TG) |
| 1.1 | First production release |
AgTech1 Card
| 1.14 |
Added support for SDI-12 C! commands Increased SDI-12 measurement timeout to 3 minutes |
| 1.13 |
Important Upgrade for Agtech1 cards made after July 2024. Add the ‘reduce slew rate’ parameter for HW v3 of the Agtech1 card. |
| 1.12 | Support for the WNK81TP Temp/Pressure Sensor |
| 1.11 | Support for reduced slew rate vboost (recommended for Hawk Lite) |
| 1.10 | Fixed one-wire timing issue |
| 1.9 |
Set digital input counts support Fixed issue with digin count resetting at 65536 Fixed issue with getting an additional ~4ms digout blip when resetting |
| 1.8 | Support for MLX90640 Thermal Camera. |
| 1.6 | Flow below FB-L-R-12C Sensor Integration. |
| 1.5 [First Production Release] |
WNK8010TT Sensor Integration Failed actions (e.g. sensor read) logged as severe debug logs for debugging. |
AgTech2 Card
| 1.2 |
Added support for SDI-12 C commands Increased SDI-12 measurement timeout to 3 minutes Ported to achieve parity with Agtech1 v1.14. |
