Beta test release 3.1.0-Beta.6 not for general issue

This release is intended for firmware beta testers and developers. End users should NOT install this firmware.

The following fixes and improvements are included:

• Issue #1 Works with XBee series 3 as well as XBee Series 1 devices
• Issue #10 Improve firmware settings integrity check
• Issue #8 AtHome flag may be false when FindHome completes
• Issue #11 Improve homing algorithm
• Issue #13 Shutter commands sometimes not acknowledged - closed a race condition
• Improvements to XBee comms state machine to address a possible memory leak and to improve Rotator/Shutter sync time slightly.

To install this firmware, download the attached zip file and extract the two hex files. Drop them into c:\NexDome-Firmware. You can then use the firmware updater in the ASCOM driver (or a 3rd party uploader utility such as XLoader or avrdude) to flash the firmware.

This firmware will erase persistent settings from previous versions because the storage format has changed and old settings will be considered invalid. The effect is that the firmware will essentially be reset to factory defaults.
