DZ 3.3.1 "Housekeeping" Release Is Out

Changes since 3.3-INTERFACE

  • Critical fix: BalancingDamperController was broken - "off by opposite", works now;
  • Bugfix: dampers will now stay open when the HVAC unit is not running, like it was supposed to be to begin with;
  • Servos can now be calibrated and reversed, see detailed instructions in Configuration Guide.

Servomaster 0.8.2.2 released

CHANGES

This is a maintenance release. No significant changes other than finally removing all System.*.println and adjusting log levels to avoid scaring unsuspecting users with transition controller completions.

Early Access: Servo Calibration

Every servo is different, same goes for servo controllers.

Subversion now contains code that allows you to

  • Reverse the servo movement if your mechanical design requires it;
  • Provide servo min/max range calibration for controllers that support it;
  • Provide limit calibration for controllers that don't.
Configuration Guide will be updated with instructions shortly, for now, take a look at DamperFactory source code and use Spring IoC techniques to configure calibration entities.
