It provides a few new features in AltosUI + and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs. + </para> + <para> + AltOS Firmware Changes + <itemizedlist> + <listitem> + In TeleMini recovery mode (when booted with the outer two + debug pins connected together), the radio parameters are also + set back to defaults (434.550MHz, N0CALL, factory radio cal). + </listitem> + <listitem> + Add support for reflashing the SkyTraq GPS chips. This + requires special host-side code which currently only exists + for Linux. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Add MicroPeak support. This includes support for the ATtiny85 + processor and adaptations to the core code to allow for + devices too small to run the multi-tasking scheduler. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Correct Kalman filter model error covariance matrix. The + values used previously assumed continuous measurements instead + of discrete measurements. + </listitem> + </itemizedlist> + </para> + <para> + AltosUI Changes + <itemizedlist> + <listitem> + Handle missing GPS lock in 'Descent' tab. Previously, if the + GPS position of the pad was unknown, an exception would be + raised, breaking the Descent tab contents. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Add preliminary MegaMetrum support, including configuration, + data download and analysis. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Improve the graph, adding tool-tips to show values near the + cursor and making the displayed set of values configurable, + adding all of the flight data as options while leaving the + default settings alone so that the graph starts by showing + height, speed and acceleration. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Make the initial position of the AltosUI top level window + configurable. Along with this change, the other windows will + pop up at 'sensible' places now, instead of on top of one + another. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Add callsign to Monitor idle window and connecting + dialogs. This makes it clear which callsign is being used so + that the operator will be aware that it must match the flight + computer value or no communication will work. + </listitem> + <listitem> + When downloading flight data, display the block number so that + the user has some sense of progress. Unfortunately, we don't + know how many blocks will need to be downloaded, but at least + it isn't just sitting there doing nothing for a long time. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Add GPS data and a map to the graph window. This lets you see + a complete summary of the flight without needing to 'replay' + the whole thing. + </listitem> + </itemizedlist> + </para> + <para> + Distribution Changes + <itemizedlist> + <listitem> + Distribute Mac OS X packages in disk image ('.dmg') format to + greatly simplify installation. + </listitem> + <listitem> + Provide version numbers for the shared Java libraries to + ensure that upgrades work properly, and to allow for multiple + Altus Metrum software packages to be installed in the same + directory at the same time. + </listitem> + </itemizedlist> + </para> +</article> |
