This is the same behaviour as the 8bit controllers.\n- ARM: SEXI was incorrectly calculating the output size limit, so a value of 37 outputs which is legal was throwing a \"too big\" error.\n- VM: floatFromU and fixToU were corrected to treat W as big endian when transferring between U\n- ARM STMicro boards: If MODBUS was set to 8 data bits even parity, a 0x00 would cause a LIN break and resulted in the packet being dumped resulting MODBUS errors (typically no response if the SPLat is a MODBUS slave).\n- VM: sometimes a controller running MODBUS would reset when SPLat\/PC connected due to an incorrect method of mutex release when closing the MODBUS port.\n- ARM: a 16bit and 24bit ID is now available on all ARM boards.  These are a CRC of a bigger ID so there's a small chance two controllers may have the same ID (chance is obviously less with the 24bit version).\n- ARMF3: volatile in typedef was placing constants in the .data segment, moved volatile keyword to variables themselves.\n- SPLatVM: MemToUV and UVToMem were ignoring the u&#91;n] offset and always starting from u&#91;0].\n\n=================\n== Version 4.0 ==\n=================\ndr8b_1606_release_v4-0\n12 Sep 2016\n- First release<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
