What's new in Decent Scale v1.1
New scale features
- High availability mode.
- The scale will turn on by itself when USB power is turned on. It will never turn off, unless told to via BLE.
- BLE pairing never times out, so your app can always connect
- Combining these two features, your app can enjoy very high reliability, always knowing the scale is on and available to your app.
- Your app can automatically and easily recover from power loss.
- Power on with the square [] button to turn the scale on with no bluetooth (and thus, no blinking blue light)
- Auto power-off during idle now extended to 10 minutes (previously was 2 minutes) Only applies when using batteries.
- Purple LED always means "finger detected touching a button"
New BLE features
- Command to set grams vs ounces (not required to do this manually)
- Command to see if running on USB power vs batteries
- Command to find out scale's firmware version number
BLE bug fixes
- The O button should be under software control via bluetooth, and should not cause taring automatically
- Sometimes a command sent to the scale is lost, and has to be sent twice (currently worked around invisibly by the app)
- Cannot determine current battery power via bluetooth
- Long press on O and [] buttons not differentiated from a short press.
