8.7.0 (2020-08-10)
This update includes the final refactoring of the output system to accommodate output modules that can operate multiple different types of output types. For instance, a peristaltic pump can be instructed to turn on for a duration or instructed to pump a volume. As a result of the output framework being modified to accommodate this, the duty_cycle parameter was removed from output_on_off() and output_on() functions of the DaemonControl class of mycodo_client.py. As a result, if you were previously using either of these function, you will need to add the parameter output_type='pwm' and change the duty_cycle parameter to amount. For example, output_on(output_id, duty_cycle=50) would need to be changed to output_on(output_id, output_type='pwm', amount=50), and output_on_off(output_id, 'on', duty_cycle=50) to output_on_off(output_id, 'on', output_type='pwm', amount=50).
This update also adds the ability to import custom Widget modules. Much like custom Inputs, Outputs, and Functions, you can now create and import your own single-file Widget module that allow new widgets to be added to a dashboard.
