to allow for automatic correction of thehub.imu.heading()
value (support#1678). - Added
update_heading_correction
to interactively set the heading correction value (support#1678). - Added optional one byte program identifier to program start command. For now, this is added to start various builtin programs, but it prepares for the ability to start different downloaded programs too (pybricks-micropython#254).
- Added one byte program identifier to the hub status report to the host.
- Changed protocol to Pybricks Profile v1.4.0.
- When upgrading the firmware to a new version, the user program will now be erased. This avoids issues with incompatible program files (support#1622).

loop to fix unwanted delays. - Fixed
await wait(0)
never yielding, so parallel tasks could lock up (support#1429).
- Removed
loop_time
argument topybricks.tools.run_task
as this wasn't having the desired effect, and would cause loop round trips to take10 ms
for everyawait wait(1)
(support#1460). This was an undocumented feature.

GyroDriveBase
being slow to respond to heading perturbations when driving at high speed (support#1032).
- Added
pybricks.tools.cross(a, b)
to get a vector cross product. - Added experimental implementation of

to check that the IMU has been calibrated and is ready for use. - Added
GyroDriveBase
class to control drivebase steering with the gyro. - Added optional
window
parameter toMotor.speed
to specify the differentiation window size that determines the average speed. This lets the user choose smaller values to get a more responsive (but noisier) or higher values to get a smoother (but more delayed) speed signal.
- Removed
positive_direction
fromDriveBase
initializer. This was temporarily added in the previous beta release to facilitate gyro support, but made it more complicated than needed (support#992). - Removed
pybricks.geometry
in an effort to reduce the number of modules with just a few elements.Matrix
andvector
have moved totools
. TheAxis
enum was moved toparameters
. Each item can still be imported from its original location for backwards compatibility.
3.3.0b3 - 2023-03-28
- Added
positive_direction
toDriveBase
initializer. It defaults to clockwise to ensure this is not a breaking change. Users can now change it to counterclockwise, which is more common in engineering (support#989). - Added support for setting drivebase acceleration and deceleration separately using a tuple, consistent with single motors (support#881).
- Fixed allocator interfering with motor control when memory usage is high (support#977).

- Fixed Bluetooth random address not changing on City and Technic hubs (support#1011).
- Methods like
control.limits()
now check the user input and raise aValueError
if a value is out of bounds (support#484). This affects only settings setters, which are usually used as a one-off. Nothing changes to speed values set at runtime. These are still capped to valid numbers without raising exceptions. - Renamed
precision_profile
toprofile
in theMotor
initializer. - In
DriveBase
,wheel_diameter
andaxle_track
now accept decimal values for increased precision (support#830).

DriveBase.left
andDriveBase.right
properties (support#910).
3.3.0b2 - 2023-03-08
- Added
precision_profile
parameter toMotor
initializer. This can be used to reduce control gains to get smoother motions for heavy loads or heavily gear applications where precision is less relevant.
- Changed how the PID values are initialized for each motor. This may lead to slightly altered performance.
- Fixed move hub crashing on boot.
- Fixed position based commands starting from the wrong position if the previous command was a time based command that could not hit its target (support#956).

exception (pybricks-micropython#117). - Changed
PrimeHub.display.image()
toPrimeHub.display.icon()
and renamed its kwarg fromimage
toicon
(support#409). - Deprecated
Control.load()
,Control.stalled()
, andControl.done()

objects.
- Fixed connecting
Remote
on BOOST move hub (support#793).
- Removed
hub.system.reset()
method. - Disabled
micropython
module on Move Hub.

for convenient stall detection. - Added
DriveBase.done()
for convenient completion detection, which is practical when combined withwait=False
. - Added
Motor.done()
for convenient completion detection, which is practical when combined withwait=False
. Especially on Move Hub, which does not have the control attribute enabled.

Motor.run_target
raising exception for short moves (support#786).
3.2.0b4 - 2022-10-21
- Indicate that the hub is shutting down by quickly flashing the hub light for half a second. This makes it easier to see when you can stop pressing the button.
- Indicate that the SPIKE Prime hub is booting and shutting down by fading the stop sign in and out.
- Implemented iterator protocol on
geometry.Matrix
class. - Added support for multi-file projects (pybricks-micropython#115).

System.storage()
API (support#85).
- Battery full indication (green light) comes on earlier (support#647).
- New indication for over-charging battery (blinking green light).
- On Move Hub, City Hub, and Technic Hub, programs can now be restarted with the button after downloading them. They are saved on shutdown.
- Improved program download process. Reduces the likelihood of getting errors about incompatible .mpy files when accidentally entering characters in the terminal window when no program is active.
- On Prime Hub and Essential Hub, there is no longer a wait time after boot before you can start programs.
- On Prime Hub and Essential Hub, the user program is now stored in a section of the external flash that is not used by any file system of other known firmwares, in order to avoid compatibility issues when changing firmware.
- Restored the
Motor.speed()
method andDriveBase
equivalent to provide speed as a numerical derivative of the motor position, instead of a model-based estimate. For most use cases, this is a more intuitive result because this speed value is not affected by mechanical load. - When using the REPL, everything from all Pybricks modules was automatically imported for convenience. Now, MicroPython modules are also automatically imported (support#741).
- Updated Bluetooth to Pybricks Profile v1.2.0.
- Bluetooth now uses random private address instead of static public address (support#600).
- Fixed motors going out of sync when starting program (support#679).

3.2.0b3 - 2022-07-20
- Fix integral control not working properly due to mistakes introduced while converting the controllers to use millidegrees.
Motor.run_time
no longer raises an exception for negative time values. Negative times are now treated as zero, thus producing a stationary trajectory.
3.2.0b2 - 2022-07-06
- Added
Motor.stalled()
. It can detect stall during speed and position control (run
,run_angle
, ...) just likeMotor.control.stalled()
, but it also detects stall fordc()
command when the user controls the voltage directly.
- Fixed motor not stopping at the end of
run_until_stalled
(support#662). - Fixed incorrect battery current reading on Technic hub (support#665).
- When the motor was pushed backwards while stalled, the
control.stalled()
was inadvertently cleared because a nonzero speed was detected. This is fixed by checking the intended direction as well. - Fixed I/O devices not syncing at high baud rate.
- Fixed
ENODEV
error while device connection manager is busy (support#674).
- Reworked internal motor model that is used to estimate speed. This results in better speed estimation at low speeds, which makes PID control smoother.
- The
Motor.speed()
method andDriveBase
equivalents now provide the estimated speed instead of the value reported by the motor. This is generally more responsive. - Overhauled the control code to make it smaller and more numerically robust while using higher position resolution where it is available.
- Changed drive base default speed to go a little slower.
- Updated MicroPython to v1.19.
3.2.0b1 - 2022-06-03
- Added
Stop.NONE
asthen
option for motors. This allows subsequent motor and drive base commands to transition without stopping. - Added
Stop.COAST_SMART
asthen
option for motors. This still coasts the motor, but it keeps track of the previously used position target. When a new relative angle command is given (e.g. rotate 90 degrees), it uses that position as the starting point. This avoids accumulation of errors when using relative angles in succession. - Made motor deceleration configurable separately from acceleration.
- Enabled
ujson
module. - Added ability to use more than one
DriveBase
in the same script. - Added support for battery charging on Prime and essential hubs.
- Changed how
DriveBases
andMotor
classes can be used together. Previously, an individual motor could not be used when a drive base used it. From now on, devices can always be used. If they were already in use by something else, that other class will just be stopped (coast). - Changed how unexpected motor problems are handled, such as a cable being
unplugged while it was running. Previously, this raised a
SystemExit
no matter which motor was unplugged. Now it will return anOSError
withENODEV
, which is consistent with trying to initialize a motor that isn't there. TheMotor
class must be initialized again to use the motor again. - Changing settings while a motor is moving no longer raises an exception. Some settings will not take effect until a new motor command is given.
- Disabled
Motor.control
andMotor.log
on Move Hub to save space. - Changed LED color calibration on Prime hub to make yellow less green.
- Updated to upstream MicroPython v1.18.
- Changed imu.acceleration() units to mm/s/s (pybricks-micropython#88) for Move Hub, Technic Hub, and Prime Hub.
- Fixed color calibration on Powered Up remote control (support#424).
- Fixed 3x3 Light Matrix colors with hue > 255 not working correctly (support#619).

- Added
DriveBase.curve()
method to drive an arc segment. - Added
then
andwait
arguments toDriveBase
methods (support#57).
- Dropped
integral_range
argument fromControl.pid()
. This setting was ineffective and never used. When set incorrectly, the motor could get stuck for certain combinations ofkp
andki
. - Improved motor behavior for cases with low-speed, low-load, but high inertia (support#366).
- Changed how the duty cycle limit is set for
Motor
andDCMotor
. It is now set as a voltage limit via a dedicated method, instead ofMotor.control
.
- Fixed
then=Stop.COAST
being ignored in most motor commands. - Fixed
brake()
/light.off()
not working on Move hub I/O port C (support#501). - Fixed

module on Move Hub. - Increased Move Hub heap from 6K to 7K due to recently freed RAM (pybricks-micropython#57).
- Changed
hub.system.reset(action)
to accept2
only (support#379). This is technically a breaking change, although this method was never officially released or documented. With this change, entering firmware update mode remains possible for backwards-compatibility, but unsafe power off methods are removed.
- Fix Bluetooth not disconnecting when shutting down and button is still pressed.
- Fix I/O ports not powering off when shutting down and button is still pressed.
- Fix version number only showing git hash and not v3.x.
