altosui: Catch I/O errors on telemetry device, report to user

2010-09-03T19:43:45+00:00

This catches the USB device being unplugged and makes sure the user sees an error dialog in this case. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altosui: Must flush serial line after configuring for telemetry

2010-09-03T19:41:06+00:00

Without flushing the configuration commands to the serial device, it never sees them as the telemetry input thread doesn't flush. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altosui: Deal with altos bug setting radio channel while monitoring

2010-09-03T14:04:28+00:00

If the monitoring thread is active, then setting the radio channel can sometimes cause the monitoring thread to get stuck. I'm not entirely sure why though. For now, work around the issue by making sure monitoring is off, and the monitoring thread has stopped, before changing the radio channel. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altosui: Report telemetry CRC errors in UI

2010-09-03T14:04:28+00:00

Telemetry CRC errors can signal problems with TeleMetrum or TeleDongle units, so report them in the UI. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altosui: provide separate flush_input/flush_output for serial. deal with monitor automatically

2010-08-30T04:36:47+00:00

(yes, this should be two patches, but the diffs in AltosSerial were merged together). First, this replaces the existing flush/flush_reply mess with two simple functions, one to flush output to the serial device, making sure that all data written will be seen while we wait for input. The other sucks any pending input off of the serial line and discards it. Second, AltosSerial now tracks whether the serial line is being used for telemetry monitoring. If so, it enables monitoring, otherwise it disables it. Eliminates a bunch of manual state tracking elsewhere. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altosui: Serial line is in UTF-8 encoding. Deal with it.

2010-08-27T06:50:51+00:00

We read bytes from the serial line and need to convert each line into a string. So, save the bytes and at EOL, pass the whole mess to the string constructor with the appropriate encoding info. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altosui: flush replies from serial link when entering debug mode

2010-08-24T23:43:38+00:00

We use replies in debug mode a lot and depend on them matching the expected parameters. The case which caused trouble was using TeleMetrum to reprogram TeleDongle -- sending the 'm 0' command (to disable telemetry monitoring on TeleDongle) to the TeleMetrum caused it to reply 'Syntax Error' which confused the subsequent flashing operation. Flushing that reply gets things back in sync. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altosui: flush serial output before waiting for reply

altosui: Add debug dongle API, split flash UI out

2010-08-23T21:32:58+00:00

Create an API to talk through the debug port on another AltOS device. Split the flash UI out from the flash implementation so that a command line flash utility can be written. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
