0.7.4
Bug Fixes
1. Set GPU_MEM, GPU_MEM_256, GPU_MEM_512, and GPU_MEM_1024 for different Pi models in config.txt. Maybe:
GPU_MEM=64 GPU_MEM_256=64 GPU_MEM_512=128 GPU_MEM_1024=256
2. Put sanity checks, retrying, and error logging in dht22.sh to prevent bad readings from DHT22. See http://hivetool.org/d/comment/151#comment-151 for details.
3, Update the SQL database creation scripts to reflect the new schema with battery voltage.
4. Use hive_stats3wDownload.pl and NOT hive_stats4wDownload.
Feature Request
- add latest Hive Control software
- implement battery voltage monitoring using channel B of HX711, send it to hivetool.net and display it.
- add way to upgrade to new images (add database conversion script if necessary).
0.7.3
Bug Fixes
- Done replace hx711 and dth22 code with fixed versions.
- Done add export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" to hive.sh
- Done don't remove python tools when removing bloatware. Keep: wolfram-engine - a scientific platform, Idle and Idle3 - python language editors
Feature Request
- Done add Ryans Hive Controller code
- Done add xrdp, open62541 packages
- Done add Data Acquisition Daemon (DAD) code
Dad supports battery voltage monitoring and the rain gauge.

- Done Test most recent raspbian distro Jessie (4.1 Kernel)
- Done Removal of bloatware from Raspbian (games, educational, etc.)
- Done Hivetool Support Pi & Pi2 (auto detect preferred)
- Automatic removal of erroneous data from sensors
- Done Basic navigation from webserver index.html, especially config.pl and Hivestats with download.
- Menu driven selection & configuration of sensors (gpio 2,3 for DHT22s preassigned by menu default)
- Menu driven setup of essential parameters with choices that don't crash app when saving, grey out unused.
- Done Sensor calibration provisions (gain, offset)
- Display instantaneous sensor readings from config screen with read button
- Preload & configure Apache Webserver and database, Hivetool, sensor drivers for proven sensors.
- Update local & online hivestats graphs to display lux trend pen, (use latest hivestats with enhanced autoscaling for local)
- Network / wifi support out of the box seems to work well now, handle configuration on router side with DHCP reservation as may be needed.
- Add configuration menu item for naming pi, same as hivestats name?
- Minimize need to enter Raspiconfig, can timezone and time all be handled in hivetool config?
- Done Enable i2c & serial.
