The 3 wire expander device is listed on the new products page. They are putting devices onto the OS likely so there will already be preparations in place for those who are going to buy the product, and immediately have the device listed on vexcode without an issue of waiting for a new OS update upon receiving said device. All companies generally do this, such as Roblox that adds new features for everyone (but are disabled for most, unless you opt in via applying) to test before the update goes live 1-2 weeks later, and even Apple with some iOS updates that state “added compatibility for x device” before x device goes into anyone’s hands.
Yep… Our goal is to try and have all of the new sensors built into the software before they begin officially shipping to ensure users can use them right away. V5 Firmware 1.0.11 includes all of the firmware level support for the new devices - they’re just all in manufacturing / shipping right now.
It does make development fun though sharing a few prototype devices between a bunch of devs…
Yup, I know all the basic logistics behind it (as seen by my edit). I was more so curious about specific details of the product. i.e. how many sensors will be supported or what is the new maximum number of sensors? How will it function and what are the limitations? That kind of info.
