VSCP Update<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documentation for VSCP products previously sold by Grodans Paradis AB<\/a> has been offline for some time, as the original publishing system was discontinued and incompatible with later PHP versions. While these products have not been actively sold, the documentation also serves as reference code for VSCP devices communicating via CAN (CAN4VSCP). Over the past two weeks, I have updated the material to align with the system used for all other VSCP code, making it fully accessible and functional once again. Hopefully, this system will remain viable for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recent component shortage, hardware sales were halted due to processor unavailability. However, my passion lies in designing these modules and transforming them into products \u2014 a pursuit I have dearly missed. As a result, Grodans Paradis AB will likely resume module sales, which also serve as reference hardware for VSCP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profit is not the goal here. Grodans Paradis AB uniquely encourages others to freely copy, modify, or adapt products, including selling them under one\u2019s own name without referencing the original source or VSCP. Contributions and improvements are welcome but not required. The principle is simple: free and open access, as long as you build them yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I am developing LoRa reference code and a few modules, with promising initial results. Work also continues on VSCP Works+ and demo firmware across multiple platforms using the new firmware stack. While larger than its predecessor, the new architecture allows for reusable, modular components that integrate seamlessly. Higher-level C++ classes now handle VSCP event transmission uniformly, independent of transport \u2014 functionality already implemented in VSCP Works+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is much I hope to accomplish, though energy and time are finite. Yet the past year has been remarkable. I deeply enjoy this work \u2014 the code, the hardware, the ideas. What began as a concept in the early 1980s has become something tangible and functional \u2014 my \u201cchild.\u201d Like any creation, it is loved unconditionally, even if its full nature is elusive. Perhaps it is a form of sand art, transient yet meaningful. I have derived immense joy from this process, and that alone makes it worthwhile. One day, the windows must be thrown open, the wind allowed to sweep through, and one must move forward contentedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
