No, but it was never my idea.

I've been trying to help by doing small fixes to the environment since a couple of years, but the only users who experience most of the problems use windows, so I guess those issues seem to be not very important. You certainly care less for the platform you don't use.

Also, maybe 1.0.2 will be 1.5? I am not sure yet what one should I start to fix

[Reply #167 on:]

looks like its 1.5

It's off-topic, but it has been announced that there will be a 1.0.2 version shortly, for those that don't plan on working with the 32-bit Due.

It can be read here: http://arduino.cc/blog/2012/10/22/arduino-1-5-support-for-the-due-and-other-processors-easier-library-installation-simplified-board-menu-etc/

I have no idea why there will be a version 1.0.2, unless not all of the improvements planned for 1.0.2 made it to 1.5.

In the Standard IDE this code displays correctly in the serial monitor.
But in yours its does not work.

Code:

//Manual Set Time example using Time.h

#include <Time.h>

void setup() {
  //setTime(hr,min,sec,day,month,yr);

  Serial.begin(57600);
  Serial.println("Serial Connected");
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Manual setTime Example");
  Serial.println();
}

void loop() {
     if(timeStatus() == timeNotSet){
    Serial.println("Please set the Time");
    TimeSet();
   } 
  else{
   // Serial.println("time already set"); 
      digitalClockDisplay(); 
  delay(1000);
  }
}
 
void digitalClockDisplay(){
  /*
  time_t t = now();
  Serial.print("");
  Serial.print("Val t = ");
  Serial.println(t);
  */
  Serial.print(day());
  Serial.print("/"); 
  Serial.print(month());
  Serial.print("/"); 
  Serial.print(year());
  Serial.print(" ");
 
  Serial.print(hour());
  Serial.print(":");
  printDigits(minute());
  Serial.print(":"); 
  printDigits(second());
  Serial.println("");

  delay(5000);
}

void TimeSet() {
 // Input time   
 Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Input time Day dd");
//  day[3] = 0;   //null char
 byte Days = 0;
  for (byte x= 0; x < 2; x++)
  {
  Days = (10* Days) + wait_read();   
  }
   Serial.print("Day is Set to ");
   Serial.print(Days);
   Serial.println();
   
  wait_read();     // nl char is discarded

  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Input time Month mm");
 byte Months = 0;
  for (byte x= 0; x < 2; x++)
  {
  Months = (10* Months) + wait_read();   
  }
   Serial.print("Month is Set to ");
   Serial.print(Months);
   Serial.println();
   
  wait_read();     // nl char is discarded

   Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Input time Year yy");
   byte Years = 0;

 byte Hours = 0;
  for (byte x= 0; x < 2; x++)

  }
   Serial.print("Hour is Set to ");
   Serial.print(Hours);
   Serial.println();
  wait_read();     // newline char is discarded

  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Input time Minutes mm");
 byte Minutes = 0;
  for (byte x= 0; x < 2; x++)
  {
  Minutes = (10* Minutes) + wait_read();   
  }
   Serial.print("Minutes are Set to ");
   Serial.print(Minutes);
   Serial.println();
  wait_read();     // nl char is discarded

   Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Input time Seconds ss");
 byte Seconds = 0;
  for (byte x= 0; x < 2; x++)
  {
   Seconds = (10* Seconds) + wait_read();   
  }
   Serial.print("Seconds are Set to ");
   Serial.print(Seconds);
   Serial.println();
  wait_read();     // nl char is discarded
 
  setTime(Hours,Minutes,Seconds,Days,Months,Years);
}  //End SetTime 


//    Wait for Serial Input
char wait_read (){
  while(!Serial.available())     // Do nothing while waiting for input.
  {  }
 
  /*

uhm... can you record a screencast video or something with the problem?

[Reply #171 on:]

I could do, will a couple of screen shots comparing two serial monitors do for now?

Yes, some way to debug it

[Reply #173 on:]

Standard Serial Monitor


Enhanced Serial Monitor

Thanks, I will check but it seems something with the font? can you change the font, or use the same settings in both?

By the way I updated the IDE today. The bug about the comments is fixed and there is a font settings now as you requested.

I`ll check that tomorrow.

Fantastic! <insert thumbsup emoticon here>

Hello, I have another suggestion that is easy to add (I think): a setting ine the config file, for scroll speed. I find the scroll speed (when selecting things in the editor) is way too fast, it's hard to select just what I want

Already fixed test it in the one you have installed.

[Reply #178 on:]

Already fixed test it in the one you have installed.

Sorry but I think it's not working then! It's still fast like the original IDE, I don't notice any "linear acceleration". I have version 1.0.1h, downloading latest now.

Edit: ok working with latest 1.0.1i, good work, thanks

[Reply #179 on:]

Hehehe, yes version 1.0.1i and up. Someone asked for this describing the problem as "screen of custard", but he uses the 0022 so he maybe never will enjoy the enhancements.
