Programming the TFD 128

RELEASE-2.1.0 (2010-02-26)

Fixed an undetected bug which prevented the logger from being found on Mac OS X.
Renamed tfd128 to tfd128_cli.py; there’s a tfd128 shell script for backwards compatibility.
Potential incompatibility: renamed short option for --debug from ‘-d’ to ‘-g’.
Added new commandline option --device (short: ‘-d’) so the user can specify the device to be used.
Potential incompatibility: the class Tfd128 no longer tries to find the serial device itself.
Updated INSTALLATION notes for Ubuntu 9.04.

Fixed uninitialized variable access. This bug should have been fixed in 2.0.3 already.

Fixed invalid variable access when the battery was drained or the eeprom was full.

Fix: the default data format produced an additional column when only the temperature was recorded.

Major code rewrite; note that the new implementation of the Tfd128 class itself is incompatible with the 1.x releases, but should be easier to use now. Application and class have been split into separate files. The tfd128.py file now only contains the Tfd128 class. The application part has been moved into tfd128.
The progress bar is now off by default when printing to stdout. Also, the heading line in the output data has been removed.
Both the date/time format and the output data format can be changed via the command line.
Both the standalone script and the class itself are now documented.

Added envcontrol.py [Pascal Bihler]
Fixed and improved error handling.
Added command line options to suppress the progress bar and the header line when dumping the data values
