Hi Mike,

Beta versions of the navX-MXP C++/Java Libraries which are compatible the 2016 Beta WPI Libraries (C++/Java) are now available for testing. Anyone interested can PM me for details on getting a copy of the beta libraries.

The functional changes are:

- C++/Java: navX-MXP Libraries compiled w/latest 2016 WPI FRC beta libraries.
- C++/Java: I2C transfer sizes, previously limited to 7 bytes/transfer in the WPI Library, have been increased. The navX-MXP libraries now transfer all I2C data in a single bus read transaction, increasing performance.

Not yet changed:

- Java: to link w/the navX-MXP Java library, the WPI Library's build.properties file must be edited, as described in these directions. This additional step will be removed before the final release of the navX-MXP C++/Java Libraries for 2016.
