Firmwares: Master Brick 2.0.2

 

• Fixes for a more stable WIFI Extension:
  
  • Remove command/data mode, use only one place for receiving/sending
     
    • Allows for much better error handling, debugging and logging

    [*]Only save messages in brickd if return expected

    [*]Parse all command responses with human readable response

    [*]Parse <ESC>O, <ESC>F, <ESC>A options more thoroughly

    [*]Remove messages from brickd if socket disconnected

    [*]Make WIFI initialization asynchronous

     

    • Allows to communicate with Master Brick while WIFI is connecting

    [*]Use 5 minute timeout before we assume a hang up (instead of 3)

    [*]Evaluate received data while sending command

    [*]Use different ATS configuration

    [*]Parse startup/reset message

    [*]Refactor data state machine

    [*]Add API for long WPA key (up to 64 chars)
