We found a bug in version 2.0.2 of the Thermal Imaging Bicklet with the communication between Brick and Bricklet. This bug could result in an incease of unnecessary CRC errors in the communication (if you were using the Thermal-Image-Getter). After a long runtime this could result in some kind of error-loop between the Brick and Bricklet which could result in an unreachable Thermal Imaging Bricklet.

 

The bugfix is in the general implementation of the Tinkerforge SPI Protocol (SPITFP). Because of this there is a new firmware (with this bugfix) for all Bricklets with 7 pole connector.
