In an attempt to play some MIDI music files through the speaker, it would help if the API had

 

noteOn(freq) and noteOff()

 

.. the current beep with its duration parameter makes it hard to parse MIDI events which do not tell you what duration a note is. The note duration is implied from the distance between NOTE ON and NOTE OFF.

 

Any chance of an API enhancement in a forthcoming release? Pretty please.

Piezo Speaker Bricklet Plugin 2.0.2 now treats beep() with a duration of 0 as "stop current beep" and beep() with a duration of 4294967295 (UINT32_MAX) as "beep forever".

Cool, just what I need. Did you just add this for me, or has 2.0.2 been out a while?

 

BTW, it would be nice if changelogs contained release date and version. 

I released 2.0.2 today, see the announcements thread. You pointed out a missing feature that was easy to add, so I added it.

 

Changing the changelog format is not that easy, so that won't happen today

Thanks! Upgrading bricklet firmware always gives a nice, warm feeling  ;D
