New Version of Compiler and ZBasic Library

[dkinzer]

A new installer has been posted to the website that includes an updated compiler, IDE, ZBasic Library and documentation. The changes are primarily to support new devices: ZX-24u, ZX-128a4U and ATtiny841. The first two are similar to the ZX-24x and ZX-32a4, respectively, but they are based on the ATxmega128a4U chip so they have four times the Flash space, twice the RAM and about twice the Persistent Memory space.

The ATtiny841, recently introduced by Atmel, is pin-compatible with the ATtiny84 and has the same Flash, RAM and EEPROM sizes. However, the tiny841 has a second 16-bit timer and two USARTs making it quite attractive as a generic target device. Further, a unique feature of the tiny841 (which it shares with the tiny828) is that the timer output compare signals can be mapped to various pins. This allows more flexibility in the choice of which pins to use for which functions in your application.

The new installer is available on the Downloads Page.
