It includes support for our new + EasyMega product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight + software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station + + == AltOS + + AltOS New Features + + * Add support for EasyMega boards. + + * Make the APRS SSID be configurable. This lets you track + different rockets on the same receiver without getting + things mixed up. + + * Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and + TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight + readiness on these boards after powering up the electronics + on the rail. + + * Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to + increase telemetry radio range. This reduces the amount of + data received as well as increasing battery consumption in + the transmitter. + + * Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new + data to it rather than using seperate per-flight logs. This + avoids accidentally filling up log storage by turning + TeleGPS on/off several times. + + AltOS Fixes + + * Increase the maximum range for altitude values from +/-32767m + to +/-2147483647m, allowing the flight computers to function + correctly above the 32km level. + + * Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage, + inhibiting the pyro channel if the test fails. This prevents + firing pyro charges where the conditions were good before + the delay, but become bad before the delay expires. + + * Allow negative numbers in pyro configuration values. This + lets you specify things like descending speed or + deceleration. + + == AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications + + AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features + + * Support telemetry baud rate selection. Adds menus to + the flight monitoring and configuration for baud rate + selection. + + * Support APRS SSID configuration. + + * Integrate with file managers. This provides icons for all of + our file types and associates our application with the files + so that using a file manager to open a AltOS data file + results in launching our application. + + AltosUI Fixes + + * Make the 'Graph' button on the landed tab work again. + + * Make tests for Java on Windows a bit smarter, and also + provide the user with the option to skip installing Java for + cases where we just can't figure out what version is installed. |
