It provides a few new features in AltosUI + and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs. + </para> + <para> + AltOS Firmware Changes + <itemizedlist> + <listitem> + Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee detection logic to + prevent incorrect apogee charge firing. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry packets was + from 320ms ago. + </listitem> + <listitem> + 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. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This makes it easy to check radio + range without needing to go to flight mode. + </listitem> + <listitem> + 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. + </listitem> + </itemizedlist> + </para> + <para> + AltosUI Changes + <itemizedlist> + <listitem> + 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. + </listitem> + <listitem> + 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. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from + the available options. + </listitem> + <listitem> + 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. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the radio + frequency used by a particular TeleDongle without having to go + through the flight monitor UI. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout value. A menu provides a list of + reasonable values, or the value can be set by hand. + </listitem> + <listitem> + 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. + </listitem> + <listitem> + 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. + </listitem> + <listitem> + 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. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet instead of + meters. + </listitem> + </itemizedlist> + </para> +</article> |
