Another BUG Bites the Plus (gizDuino +)

A bug had been discovered by e-Gizmo on the IDE software that will affect the gizDuino plus boards using the

ATMEGA644P/ATMEGA324P/ATMEGA164P processors.

There is a pin mix-up occurring on the analogRead() function. Specifically, the analogRead() function returns an analog readout from a port not on the one you specified in the function. Furthermore, these pin seems to change if you recompile the code using a different processor. While a quick workaround can be effected (by a user remap of the pin assignment), it is nevertheless a huge potential source of confusion and trouble.

This bug was fixed with the most recent update of the (click link >) gizDuino Patch file.
