We are workong on the update that will include all X2 and M2 parts. We do not have arelesae date yet but it should be in Q4 2010.
I have just gotten interested in using VSM, but the picture I am getting from several threads and the VSM brochure is that this software is not getting the attention it needs in the Rev Ed priority list and is not keeping up with the hardware side.
This thread asking about X2 part support started in October of last year and it appears that still there is no X2 support at all even though X2 parts have been available for some time?
The thread entitled "VSM Update" points out that the sister program has been updated regularly over the past year while the Picaxe VSM is languishing untouched even though regular updates are implied by the "free updates for a year" statement.
The Picaxe VSM brochure makes no mention of X2 or M2 parts, and makes reference to the "new" X1 parts.
In my case, I am working with a 20X2, and it appears that there is no point in my spending money on this program. Am I correct, or am I missing something that would allow me to use VSM to develop circuits around the 20X2? Or is there an alternative program with X2 part support that would do just as well?
Why aren't X2 and M2 VSM components released as they become available at about the same time that the hardware parts become available? Of course, even if this were answered it would not answer the question of the Picaxe VSM software not being updated on any schedule.
