CAL components such as ADC, I2C, PWM, SPI and UART are now free to allow for more user based component creation and library generation.

High level components created by Matrix are still licensed under the various component feature packs.

Plus a large selection of component, CAL and FCD updates.

Some of the new components include:

• FAT Based GLCD Bitmap Drawer
• New sensor components
• Network abstraction component for TCP/IP and WIFI modules
• Modbus TCP support
• E-block specific categories
• Scenario simulation components and wiki based curriculum
• Graphical LCD Graph drawer
• Arduino style serial terminal - via the console
• Raspberry Pi specific - Console Text Generation, TCP/IP

Some of the new component features include:

• CAL components are more usable and stand alone, injector, scope and console functionality is now built in making it much easier to build into your own components
• Bitmap Drawer component - more bitmap file formats (Mono, 16-Colour, 256-Colour, 24-bit) and up to ten bitmaps per component
• Servo motor 16-bit mode
• PWM Frequency based Period and Prescaler calculator
