altos: Put locked/unlocked GPS status in APRS comments

2014-02-10T06:54:31+00:00

Replace the 'S' (which marks the field showing sats in view) with either 'L' or 'U' to tell the user whether the GPS receiver is locked or unlocked. This also removes the colons in the comment field to shorten it. This makes it fit on one line of my FT1D display. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Re-send previous GPS position in APRS if lock is lost

2014-02-10T06:53:05+00:00

APRS radios often show only the last received APRS packet, which means that erasing the last known GPS position when we lose lock by sending 0/0/0 is unhelpful. Instead, just send the last known position, and make sure that we send 0/0/0 before we're locked the first time. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Report nsat in view in APRS packet

2014-02-09T04:13:38+00:00

This adds the number of sats in view (as opposed to the number of sats in solution) to the APRS packet. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Don't write more than 12 sat infos in ublox driver

2014-02-09T04:13:38+00:00

This was overwriting memory past the end of the ao_gps_tracking_data array, which isn't a good idea. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Eliminate warnings in FAT code

2014-02-09T04:13:38+00:00

The FAT file system code wasn't cleaned up when the warning fixes were done recently. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Add watchdog timer task

2014-02-09T04:13:38+00:00

This new task frobs a pin periodically to inform the hardware that the operating system is running. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: report 0/0/0 for APRS position when GPS is not locked

2014-02-07T01:08:34+00:00

We were reporting whatever the GPS device sent, even if it wasn't reporting a valid status. That's not terribly useful. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Report battery, apogee and main voltages over APRS

2014-01-15T20:40:26+00:00

This makes APRS more usable when you mute the RF audio on the HT. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Switch APRS to compressed position format

2014-01-15T07:21:40+00:00

This provides lat/lon/alt in fewer bytes while improving precision. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: cc115l driver tone_run wasn't recording number of tones

2013-12-21T06:59:42+00:00

This would prevent the cc115l driver from ever sending tones. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
