It provides a few new features + in AltosUI and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs. + + == AltOS + + AltOS Firmware New Features: + + * Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee + detection logic to prevent incorrect apogee charge + firing. + + * Force the radio frequency to 434.550MHz when the + debug clock pin is connected to ground at boot + time. This provides a way to talk to a TeleMini + which is configured to some unknown frequency. + + * Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This + makes it easy to check radio range without needing + to go to flight mode. + + AltOS Fixes: + + * Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry + packets was from 320ms ago. + + * Fix a bug which caused the old received telemetry + packets to be retransmitted over the USB link when + the radio was turned off and back on. + + == AltosUI + + AltosUI New Features: + + * Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from + the available options. + + * Add an 'Age' element to mark how long since a + telemetry packet has been received. Useful to + quickly gauge whether communications with the rocket + are still active. + + * Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the + radio frequency used by a particular TeleDongle + without having to go through the flight monitor UI. + + * Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout + value. A menu provides a list of reasonable values, + or the value can be set by hand. + + * Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet + instead of meters. + + AltosUI Fixes: + + * Fix a bug that caused GPS ready to happen too + quickly. The software was using every telemetry + packet to signal new GPS data, which caused GPS + ready to be signalled after 10 packets instead of 10 + GPS updates. + + * Fix Google Earth data export to work with recent + versions. The google earth file loading code got a + lot pickier, requiring some minor white space + changes in the export code. + + * Changed how flight data are downloaded. Now there's + an initial dialog asking which flights to download, + and after that finishes, a second dialog comes up + asking which flights to delete. + + * Re-compute time spent in each state for the flight + graph; this figures out the actual boost and landing + times instead of using the conservative values + provide by the flight electronics. This improves the + accuracy of the boost acceleration and main descent + rate computations. + + * Make AltosUI run on Mac OS Lion. The default Java + heap space was dramatically reduced for this release + causing much of the UI to fail randomly. This most + often affected the satellite mapping download and + displays. + + * Change how data are displayed in the 'table' tab of + the flight monitoring window. This eliminates + entries duplicated from the header and adds both + current altitude and pad altitude, which are useful + in 'Monitor Idle' mode. |
