We are pleased to announce v1.40 of the ShieldBuddy add-in for the Arduino IDE. This includes the following new features:

(i) I2C driver now more resilient to devices that fail to return an ACK
(ii) The Arduino tone() and notone() functions are now supported. You can select any frequency from 0.02Hz to 100MHz.
(iii) Various compilation warnings now eliminated.
(iv) New CAN3 channel on Arduino Due pins 53 (CAN transmit) and DAC0 (CAN Receive). The existing CAN1 remains on Pins 23 and 22. The default CAN0 is on CANRX and CANTX as before.
(iv) New low-level drivers introduced. This will open the way for new functions such as PWM duty cycle measurement, period measurements etc. using the GTM TIMs. It will also allow the DS-ADC to be used.

The new release can be downloaded from:

I have just tried it!

Will the installer do this or just write over it? Thanks
