# Internal Release 0.1.0
# Internal Release 0.2.0

This is 0.1.0, the first internal release for the Opentrons Flex robot software, involving both robot control and the on-device display.
This is first internal release 0.2.0 for the Opentrons Flex robot software, involving both robot control and the on-device display.

This is still pretty early in the process, so some things are known not to work, and are listed below. Specific compatibility notes about peripheral hardware are also listed.
Some things are known not to work, and are listed below. Specific compatibility notes about peripheral hardware are also listed.

## Hardware Revision Compatibility

- This release will work best on a DVT robot frame with a programmed rear-panel board. If that doesn't apply, edit `/data/feature_flags.json` and turn `rearPanelIntegration` to `false` or the robot server won't start.
- This release is compatible with EVT pipettes and gripper only if they have received the tool ID rework.
- This release is compatible with DVT pipettes and gripper.
- This release is _not_ compatible with DVT module caddies.
- This release should be used with pipette bootloaders of at least v7.

- Labware pick up failure with gripper
- Cancelling a protocol might hang - fix is to restart

## Reasonably Sized New Things
### ODD
- Liquid setup has come to protocol setup page
### Robot Control
- 8-channel pipettes now will use more than 0 amps to pick up tips
- Module calibration exists in the protocol engine; you can use a script to run it with any pipette for any module. The data will be saved for inspection, but will not be loaded during protocols.

## Big Things That Do Work Please Do Report Bugs About Them
### Robot Control
- Liquid handling protocols with 1 and 8 channel pipettes

- After a while, the ODD should go into idle; if you touch it, it will come back online

## Smaller Known Issues
### Robot Control
- Pipette and gripper automated offset calibration still uses linear search and might have issues; double check that it worked right

## Smaller fun features
- Pipette firmware senses tips now and puts it on the canbus
- The Z-stage will now update its position from encoders after picking up tip instead of homing
- Some nice images and animations are in place while the robot is starting
- You can change the brightness of the ODD through the settings
- Turn on display idle in the display settings for a fun surprise
- The lights work (don't do anything yet though)

# Internal Release 0.1.0
# Internal Release 0.2.0

This is 0.1.0, the first internal release for the app supporting the Opentrons Flex.
This is 0.2.0, an internal release for the app supporting the Opentrons Flex.

This is still pretty early in the process, so some things are known not to work, and are listed below. Some things that may surprise you do work, and are also listed below. There may also be some littler things of note, and those are at the bottom.

## New Stuff In This Release
- Gripper attach and calibration flows
- Tipracks say flex now

## Big Things That Don't Work Yet So Don't Report Bugs About Them
- Attach, detach, and calibration flows for anything from the protocol setup page
- Attach, detach, and calibration flows for the gripper
- USB connectivity
- Pipette/gripper firmware update on attach: if you need to attach a new instrument, attach it and then power-cycle the robot
- If you leave the app on the device page it will very frequently ask what instrument is connected, which causes problems; don't leave the app on the device page of the robot for a really long time
- The app always says instrument calibration is out of date

## Big Things That Do Work Please Do Report Bugs About Them
- Connecting to a Flex
- Running protocols on those Flexs including simulate, play/pause, labware position check
- Except for gripper; no LPC for gripper
- Attach, detach, and calibration flows for 1, 8, and 96-channel pipettes when started from the device page
- Attach, detach, and calibration flows for pipettes and gripper when started from the device page
- Automatic updates of app and robot when new internal-releases are created
