It fixes a couple of bugs + in AltosUI and one firmware bug that affects TeleMetrum + version 1.0 boards. Thanks to Bob Brown for help diagnosing + the Google Earth file export issue, and for suggesting the + addition of the Ground Distance value in the Descent tab. + + == AltOS + + AltOS fixes: + + * TeleMetrum v1.0 boards use the AT45DB081D flash + memory part to store flight data, which is different + from later TeleMetrum boards. The AltOS v1.1 driver + for this chip couldn't erase memory, leaving it + impossible to delete flight data or update + configuration values. This bug doesn't affect newer + TeleMetrum boards, and it doesn't affect the safety + of rockets flying version 1.1 firmware. + + == AltosUI + + AltosUI new features: + + * The “Descent” tab displays the range to the rocket, + which is a combination of the over-the-ground + distance to the rockets current latitude/longitude + and the height of the rocket. As such, it's useful + for knowing how far away the rocket is, but + difficult to use when estimating where the rocket + might eventually land. A new “Ground Distance” field + has been added which displays the distance to a spot + right underneath the rocket. + + AltosUI fixes: + + * Creating a Google Earth file (KML) from on-board + flight data (EEPROM) would generate an empty + file. The code responsible for reading the EEPROM + file wasn't ever setting the GPS valid bits, and so + the KML export code thought there was no GPS data in + the file. + + * The “Landed” tab was displaying all values in metric + units, even when AltosUI was configured to display + imperial units. Somehow I just missed this tab when + doing the units stuff. + + * Sensor data wasn't being displayed for TeleMini + flight computers in Monitor Idle mode, including + things like battery voltage. The code that picked + which kinds of data to fetch from the flight + computer was missing a check for TeleMini when + deciding whether to fetch the analog sensor data. |
