Sorry guys, I have been remiss in updating for the last month due in part to a work overload and just not much to share from Scott.
First, the Bad. Scott just told me that there have been a few conversion issues that are taking extra time to deal with so no Retro IDE just yet. He also is behind on the new ooPIC32 Raptor due to the same. Keep in mind the Raptor is all new IDE, new compiler and new firmware that comes after the Retro IDE.
The Good! Scott did say he may scrap the Retro compiler and just GIVE US the oopic OS code!! Yup, open source ooPIC. Decision should be this week. This comes to pass because he needs the new Raptor done and ready by July 30 ish for the Microchip Masters Conference.
Everyone that emailed me to beta test is still on the official list for the Raptor.
A user email today made me think that I may have not been clear in the "A Bit About Objects.." post. The release of the Raptor will only include a handful of the popular objects. That does not mean they are the only factory objects. Scott plans on releasing objects daily that you can simply plug in. You will always be able to create your own objects. And yes, all 400+ objects and he estimates he will be releasing around 10 per day....
Have a ROBOT day!
Ted
