TeleMetrum v1, TeleMini and TeleDongle v0.2 are + all programmed by using another device as a programmer (pair + programming). It's important to recognize which kind of devices + you have before trying to reprogram them. + + You may wish to begin by ensuring you have current firmware + images. These are distributed as part of the AltOS software + bundle that also includes the AltosUI ground station program. + Newer ground station versions typically work fine with older + firmware versions, so you don't need to update your devices + just to try out new software features. You can always + download the most recent version from + http://www.altusmetrum.org/AltOS/ + + If you need to update the firmware on a TeleDongle v0.2, we + recommend updating the altimeter first, before updating + TeleDongle. However, note that TeleDongle rarely need to be + updated. Any firmware version 1.0.1 or later will work, + version 1.2.1 may have improved receiver performance slightly. + + Self-programmable devices (TeleMega, TeleMetrum v2, EasyMega + and EasyMini) are reprogrammed by connecting them to your + computer over USB + + === Updating TeleMega, TeleMetrum v2, EasyMega, EasyMini or TeleDongle v3 Firmware + + . Attach a battery if necessary and power switch to + the target device. Power up the device. + + . Using a Micro USB cable, connect the target device to your + computer's USB socket. + + . Run AltosUI, and select 'Flash Image' from the File menu. + + . Select the target device in the Device Selection dialog. + + . Select the image you want to flash to the device, + which should have a name in the form + -v-.ihx, + such as TeleMega-v1.0-1.3.0.ihx. + + . Make sure the configuration parameters are + reasonable looking. If the serial number and/or RF + configuration values aren't right, you'll need to + change them. + + . Hit the 'OK' button and the software should proceed + to flash the device with new firmware, showing a + progress bar. + + . Verify that the device is working by using the + 'Configure Altimeter' or 'Configure Groundstation' + item to check over the configuration. + + ==== Recovering From Self-Flashing Failure + + If the firmware loading fails, it can leave the device + unable to boot. Not to worry, you can force the device to + start the boot loader instead, which will let you try to + flash the device again. + + On each device, connecting two pins from one of the exposed + connectors will force the boot loader to start, even if the + regular operating system has been corrupted in some way. + + TeleMega:: + + Connect pin 6 and pin 1 of the companion + connector. Pin 1 can be identified by the square pad + around it, and then the pins could sequentially across + the board. Be very careful to *not* short pin 8 to + anything as that is connected directly to the + battery. Pin 7 carries 3.3V and the board will crash + if that is connected to pin 1, but shouldn't damage + the board. + + EasyMega:: + + Connect pin 6 and pin 1 of the companion + connector. Pin 1 can be identified by the square pad + around it, and then the pins could sequentially across + the board. Be very careful to *not* short pin 8 to + anything as that is connected directly to the + battery. Pin 7 carries 3.3V and the board will crash + if that is connected to pin 1, but shouldn't damage + the board. + + TeleMetrum v2:: + + Connect pin 6 and pin 1 of the companion + connector. Pin 1 can be identified by the square pad + around it, and then the pins could sequentially across + the board. Be very careful to *not* short pin 8 to + anything as that is connected directly to the + battery. Pin 7 carries 3.3V and the board will crash + if that is connected to pin 1, but shouldn't damage + the board. + + EasyMini:: + + Connect pin 6 and pin 1 of the debug connector, which + is the six holes next to the beeper. Pin 1 can be + identified by the square pad around it, and then the + pins could sequentially across the board, making Pin 6 + the one on the other end of the row. + + TeleDongle v3:: + + Connect pin 32 on the CPU to ground. Pin 32 is closest + to the USB wires on the row of pins towards the center + of the board. Ground is available on the capacitor + next to it, on the end towards the USB wires. + + Once you've located the right pins: + + . Turn the altimeter power off. + + . Connect a battery. + + . Connect the indicated terminals together with a + short piece of wire. Take care not to accidentally + connect anything else. + + . Connect USB + + . Turn the board power on. + + The board should now be visible over USB as + 'AltosFlash' and be ready to receive firmware. Once + the board has been powered up, you can remove the + piece of wire. + + === Pair Programming + + The big concept to understand is that you have to use + a TeleMetrum v1.0, TeleBT v1.0 or TeleDongle v0.2 as a + programmer to update a pair programmed device. Due to + limited memory resources in the cc1111, we don't + support programming directly over USB for these + devices. + + ==== Updating TeleMetrum v1.x Firmware + + . Find the 'programming cable' that you got as + part of the starter kit, that has a red + 8-pin MicroMaTch connector on one end and a + red 4-pin MicroMaTch connector on the other + end. + + . Take the 2 screws out of the TeleDongle v0.2 + or TeleBT v1.0 case to get access to the + circuit board. + + . Plug the 8-pin end of the programming cable + to the matching connector on the TeleDongle + v0.2 or TeleBT v1.0, and the 4-pin end to + the matching connector on the TeleMetrum. + Note that each MicroMaTch connector has an + alignment pin that goes through a hole in + the PC board when you have the cable + oriented correctly. + + . Attach a battery to the TeleMetrum board. + + . Plug the TeleDongle v0.2 or TeleBT v1.0 into + your computer's USB port, and power up the + TeleMetrum. + + . Run AltosUI, and select 'Flash Image' from + the File menu. + + . Pick the TeleDongle v0.2 or TeleBT v1.0 + device from the list, identifying it as the + programming device. + + . Select the image you want put on the + TeleMetrum, which should have a name in the + form telemetrum-v1.2-1.0.0.ihx. It should + be visible in the default directory, if not + you may have to poke around your system to + find it. + + . Make sure the configuration parameters are + reasonable looking. If the serial number + and/or RF configuration values aren't right, + you'll need to change them. + + . Hit the 'OK' button and the software should + proceed to flash the TeleMetrum with new + firmware, showing a progress bar. + + . Confirm that the TeleMetrum board seems to + have updated OK, which you can do by + plugging in to it over USB and using a + terminal program to connect to the board and + issue the 'v' command to check the version, + etc. + + If something goes wrong, give it another try. + + ==== Updating TeleMini Firmware + + You'll need a special 'programming cable' to + reprogram the TeleMini. You can make your own + using an 8-pin MicroMaTch connector on one end + and a set of four pins on the other. + + . Take the 2 screws out of the TeleDongle v0.2 + or TeleBT v1.0 case to get access to the + circuit board. + + . Plug the 8-pin end of the programming cable + to the matching connector on the TeleDongle + v0.2 or TeleBT v1.0, and the 4-pins into the + holes in the TeleMini circuit board. Note + that the MicroMaTch connector has an + alignment pin that goes through a hole in + the PC board when you have the cable + oriented correctly, and that pin 1 on the + TeleMini board is marked with a square pad + while the other pins have round pads. + + . Attach a battery to the TeleMini board. + + . Plug the TeleDongle v0.2 or TeleBT v1.0 into + your computer's USB port, and power up the + TeleMini + + . Run AltosUI, and select 'Flash Image' from + the File menu. + + . Pick the TeleDongle v0.2 or TeleBT v1.0 + device from the list, identifying it as the + programming device. + + . Select the image you want put on the + TeleMini, which should have a name in the + form telemini-v1.0-1.0.0.ihx. It should be + visible in the default directory, if not you + may have to poke around your system to find + it. + + . Make sure the configuration parameters are + reasonable looking. If the serial number + and/or RF configuration values aren't right, + you'll need to change them. + + . Hit the 'OK' button and the software should + proceed to flash the TeleMini with new + firmware, showing a progress bar. + + . Confirm that the TeleMini board seems to + have updated OK, which you can do by + configuring it over the radio link through + the TeleDongle, or letting it come up in + “flight” mode and listening for telemetry. + + If something goes wrong, give it another try. + + ==== Updating TeleDongle v0.2 Firmware + + Updating TeleDongle v0.2 firmware is just like + updating TeleMetrum v1.x or TeleMini firmware, but you + use either a TeleMetrum v1.x, TeleDongle v0.2 or + TeleBT v1.0 as the programmer. + + . Find the 'programming cable' that you got as part of + the starter kit, that has a red 8-pin MicroMaTch + connector on one end and a red 4-pin MicroMaTch + connector on the other end. + + . Find the USB cable that you got as part of the + starter kit, and plug the “mini” end in to the + mating connector on TeleMetrum v1.x, TeleDongle v0.2 + or TeleBT v1.0. + + . Take the 2 screws out of the TeleDongle v0.2 or + TeleBT v1.0 case to get access to the circuit board. + + . Plug the 8-pin end of the programming cable to the + matching connector on the programmer, and the 4-pin + end to the matching connector on the TeleDongle + v0.2. Note that each MicroMaTch connector has an + alignment pin that goes through a hole in the PC + board when you have the cable oriented correctly. + + . Attach a battery to the TeleMetrum v1.x board if + you're using one. + + . Plug both the programmer and the TeleDongle into + your computer's USB ports, and power up the + programmer. + + . Run AltosUI, and select 'Flash Image' from the File + menu. + + . Pick the programmer device from the list, + identifying it as the programming device. + + + . Select the image you want put on the TeleDongle + v0.2, which should have a name in the form + teledongle-v0.2-1.0.0.ihx. It should be visible in + the default directory, if not you may have to poke + around your system to find it. + + . Make sure the configuration parameters are + reasonable looking. If the serial number and/or RF + configuration values aren't right, you'll need to + change them. The TeleDongle v0.2 serial number is + on the “bottom” of the circuit board, and can + usually be read through the translucent blue plastic + case without needing to remove the board from the + case. + + . Hit the 'OK' button and the software should proceed + to flash the TeleDongle v0.2 with new firmware, + showing a progress bar. + + . Confirm that the TeleDongle v0.2 board seems to have + updated OK, which you can do by plugging in to it + over USB and using a terminal program to connect to + the board and issue the 'v' command to check the + version, etc. Once you're happy, remove the + programming cable and put the cover back on the + TeleDongle v0.2. + + If something goes wrong, give it another try. + + Be careful removing the programming cable from the + locking 8-pin connector on TeleMetrum. You'll need a + fingernail or perhaps a thin screwdriver or knife + blade to gently pry the locking ears out slightly to + extract the connector. We used a locking connector on + TeleMetrum to help ensure that the cabling to + companion boards used in a rocket don't ever come + loose accidentally in flight. -- cgit v1.2.3 From ce297f14ff54d230d01fb6dedaafca571e8b836b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Packard Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2015 21:34:42 -0700 Subject: doc: Finish converting docs to asciidoc format Signed-off-by: Keith Packard --- doc/Makefile | 142 ++-- doc/altusmetrum-docinfo.xml | 14 + doc/altusmetrum.txt | 4 +- doc/am-fo.xsl | 3 + doc/easymega-outline.txt | 9 + doc/easymega-outline.xsl | 23 -

Altitude + is computed through a standard atmospheric + model. Absolute error in this data will be affected by + local atmospheric conditions. Fortunately, these + errors tend to mostly cancel out, so the error in the + height computation is much smaller than the error in + altitude would be. + + Speed and acceleration are computed by first smoothing + the height data with a Gaussian window averaging + filter. For speed data, this average uses seven + samples. For acceleration data, eleven samples are + used. These were chosen to provide reasonably smooth + speed and acceleration data, which would otherwise be + swamped with noise. + + The File menu has operations to open existing flight + logs, Download new data from MicroPeak, Save a copy of + the flight log to a new file, Export the tabular data + (as seen in the Raw Data tab) to a file, change the + application Preferences, Close the current window or + close all windows and Exit the application. + + ==== MicroPeak Graphs + + .MicroPeak Graph + image::micropeak-graph.png[width="4.5in"] + + Under the Graph tab, the height, speed and acceleration values + are displayed together.

Of + course, you can always navigate to other + directories in the file chooser windows, this + setting is just the starting point. + + Imperial Units:: + + If you prefer to see your graph data in feet + and miles per hour instead of meters and + meters per second, you can select Imperial + Units. + + Serial Debug:: + + To see what data is actually arriving over the + serial port, start the MicroPeak application + from a command prompt and select the Serial + Debug option. This can be useful in debugging + serial communication problems, but most people + need never choose this. + + Font Size:: + + You can adjust the size of the text in the + Statistics tab by changing the Font size + preference.

When handled gently and properly installed in an + air-frame, they will deliver impressive results. However, as + with all electronic devices, there are some precautions you + must take. + + [WARNING] + + The CR1025 Lithium batteries have an extraordinary power + density. This is great because we can fly with much less + battery mass... but if they are punctured or their contacts + are allowed to short, they can and will release their energy + very rapidly! Thus we recommend that you take some care when + handling MicroPeak to keep conductive material from coming in + contact with the exposed metal elements. + + The barometric sensor used in MicroPeak is sensitive to + sunlight. Please consider this when designing an + installation. Many model rockets with payload bays use clear + plastic for the payload bay. Replacing these with an opaque + cardboard tube, painting them, or wrapping them with a layer + of masking tape are all reasonable approaches to keep the + sensor out of direct sunlight. + + The barometric sensor sampling ports must be able to + "breathe", both by not being covered by foam or tape or other + materials that might directly block the hole on the top of the + sensor, and also by having a suitable static vent to outside + air. + + As with all other rocketry electronics, Altus Metrum + altimeters must be protected from exposure to corrosive motor + exhaust and ejection charge gasses. + +[appendix] +== Technical Information + + === Barometric Sensor + + MicroPeak uses the Measurement Specialties MS5607 + sensor. This has a range of 120kPa to 1kPa with an + absolute accuracy of 150Pa and a resolution of 2.4Pa. + + The pressure range corresponds roughly to an altitude + range of -1500m (-4900 feet) to 31000m (102000 feet), + while the resolution is approximately 20cm (8 inches) + near sea level and 60cm (24in) at 10000m (33000 feet). + + Ground pressure is computed from an average of 16 + samples, taken while the altimeter is at rest. The + flight pressure used to report maximum height is + computed from a Kalman filter designed to smooth out + any minor noise in the sensor values. The flight + pressure recorded to non-volatile storage is + unfiltered, coming directly from the pressure sensor. + + === Micro-controller + + MicroPeak uses an Atmel ATtiny85 + micro-controller. This tiny CPU contains 8kB of flash + for the application, 512B of RAM for temporary data + storage and 512B of EEPROM for non-volatile storage of + previous flight data. + + The ATtiny85 has a low-power mode which turns off all + of the clocks and powers down most of the internal + components. In this mode, the chip consumes only .1μA + of power. MicroPeak uses this mode once the flight has + ended to preserve battery power. + + === Lithium Battery + + The CR1025 battery used by MicroPeak holds 30mAh of + power, which is sufficient to run for over 40 + hours. Because MicroPeak powers down on landing, run + time includes only time sitting on the launch pad or + during flight. + + The large positive terminal (+) is usually marked, + while the smaller negative terminal is not. Make sure + you install the battery with the positive terminal + facing away from the circuit board where it will be in + contact with the metal battery holder. A small pad on + the circuit board makes contact with the negative + battery terminal. + + Shipping restrictions may prevent us from including a + CR1025 battery with MicroPeak. If so, many stores + carry CR1025 batteries as they are commonly used in + small electronic devices such as flash lights. + + === Atmospheric Model + + MicroPeak contains a fixed atmospheric model which is + used to convert barometric pressure into altitude. The + model was converted into a 469-element piece-wise + linear approximation which is then used to compute the + altitude of the ground and apogee. The difference + between these represents the maximum height of the + flight. + + The model assumes a particular set of atmospheric + conditions, which, while a reasonable average, cannot + represent the changing nature of the real + atmosphere. Fortunately, for flights reasonably close + to the ground, the effect of this global inaccuracy + are largely canceled out when the computed ground + altitude is subtracted from the computed apogee + altitude, so the resulting height is more accurate + than either the ground or apogee altitudes. + + Because the raw pressure data is recorded to + non-volatile storage, you can use that, along with a + more sophisticated atmospheric model, to compute your + own altitude values. + + === Mechanical Considerations + + MicroPeak is designed to be rugged enough for typical + rocketry applications. It contains two moving parts, + the battery holder and the power switch, which were + selected for their ruggedness. + + The MicroPeak battery holder is designed to withstand + impact up to 150g without breaking contact (or, worse + yet, causing the battery to fall out). That means it + should stand up to almost any launch you care to try, + and should withstand fairly rough landings. + + The power switch is designed to withstand up to 50g + forces in any direction. Because it is a sliding + switch, orienting the switch perpendicular to the + direction of rocket travel will serve to further + protect the switch from launch forces. + + === MicroPeak Programming Interface + + MicroPeak exposes a standard 6-pin AVR programming + interface, but not using the usual 2x3 array of pins + on 0.1" centers. Instead, there is a single row of + tiny 0.60mm × 0.85mm pads on 1.20mm centers exposed + near the edge of the circuit board. We couldn't find + any connector that was small enough to include on the + circuit board. + + In lieu of an actual connector, the easiest way to + connect to the bare pads is through a set of Pogo + pins. These spring-loaded contacts are designed to + connect in precisely this way. We've designed a + programming jig, the MicroPeak Pogo Pin board which + provides a standard AVR interface on one end and a + recessed slot for MicroPeak to align the board with + the Pogo Pins. + + The MicroPeak Pogo Pin board is not a complete AVR + programmer, it is an interface board that provides a + 3.3V regulated power supply to run the MicroPeak via + USB and a standard 6-pin AVR programming interface + with the usual 2x3 grid of pins on 0.1" centers. This + can be connected to any AVR programming dongle. + + The AVR programming interface cannot run faster than ¼ + of the AVR CPU clock frequency. Because MicroPeak runs + at 250kHz to save power, you must configure your AVR + programming system to clock the AVR programming + interface at no faster than 62.5kHz, or a clock period + of 32µS. + +[appendix] +== On-board data storage + + The ATtiny85 has 512 bytes of non-volatile storage, separate + from the code storage memory. The MicroPeak firmware uses this + to store information about the last completed + flight. Barometric measurements from the ground before launch + and at apogee are stored, and used at power-on to compute the + height of the last flight. + + In addition to the data used to present the height of the last + flight, MicroPeak also stores barometric information sampled + at regular intervals during the flight. This is the + information captured with the MicroPeak USB adapter. It can + also be read from MicroPeak through any AVR programming tool. + + + .MicroPeak EEPROM Data Storage + [options="border",cols="2,1,7"] + |==== + |Address |Size (bytes) |Description + |0x000 |4 |Average ground pressure (Pa) + |0x004 |4 |Minimum flight pressure (Pa) + |0x008 |2 |Number of in-flight samples + |0x00a … 0x1fe |2 |Instantaneous flight pressure (Pa) low 16 bits + |==== + + All EEPROM data are stored least-significant byte first. The + instantaneous flight pressure data are stored without the + upper 16 bits of data. The upper bits can be reconstructed + from the previous sample, assuming that pressure doesn't + change by more more than 32kPa in a single sample + interval. Note that this pressure data is *not* filtered in + any way, while both the recorded ground and apogee pressure + values are, so you shouldn't expect the minimum instantaneous + pressure value to match the recorded minimum pressure value + exactly. + + MicroPeak samples pressure every 96ms, but stores only every + other sample in the EEPROM.

Requiring no external - components, flying takes just a few steps - - - - - Install the battery. Fit a CR1025 battery into the plastic - carrier. The positive (+) terminal should be towards the more - open side of the carrier. Slip the carrier into the battery - holder with the positive (+) terminal facing away from the - circuit board. - - - - - - - - - - - - Install MicroPeak in your rocket. This can be as simple as - preparing a soft cushion of wadding inside a vented model payload - bay. Wherever you mount it, make sure you protect the - barometric sensor from corrosive ejection gasses as those - will damage the sensor, and shield it from light as that can - cause incorrect sensor readings. - - - - - Turn MicroPeak on. Slide the switch so that the actuator - covers the '1' printed on the board. MicroPeak will report - the maximum height of the last flight in decimeters using a - sequence of flashes on the LED. A sequence of short flashes - indicates one digit. A single long flash indicates zero. The - height is reported in decimeters, so the last digit will be - tenths of a meter. For example, if MicroPeak reports 5 4 4 - 3, then the maximum height of the last flight was 544.3m, or - 1786 feet. - - - - - Finish preparing the rocket for flight. After the - previous flight data have been reported, MicroPeak waits for - one minute before starting to check for launch. This gives - you time to finish assembling the rocket. As those - activities might cause pressure changes inside the airframe, - MicroPeak might accidentally detect boost. If you need to do - anything to the airframe after the one minute window passes, - make sure to be careful not to disturb the altimeter. The - LED will remain dark during the one minute delay, but after - that, it will start blinking once every 3 seconds. - - - - - Fly the rocket. Once the rocket passes about 30m in height - (100 feet), the micro-controller will record the ground - pressure and track the pressure seen during the flight. In - this mode, the LED flickers rapidly. When the rocket lands, - and the pressure stabilizes, the micro-controller will record - the minimum pressure pressure experienced during the flight, - compute the height represented by the difference in air - pressure and blink that value out on the LED. After that, - MicroPeak powers down to conserve battery power. - - - - - Recover the data. Turn MicroPeak off and then back on. MicroPeak - will blink out the maximum height for the last flight. Turn - MicroPeak back off to conserve battery power. - - - - - - Handling Precautions - - All Altus Metrum products are sophisticated electronic devices. - When handled gently and properly installed in an air-frame, they - will deliver impressive results. However, as with all electronic - devices, there are some precautions you must take. - - - The CR1025 Lithium batteries have an - extraordinary power density. This is great because we can fly with - much less battery mass... but if they are punctured - or their contacts are allowed to short, they can and will release their - energy very rapidly! - Thus we recommend that you take some care when handling MicroPeak - to keep conductive material from coming in contact with the exposed metal elements. - - - The barometric sensor used in MicroPeak is sensitive to - sunlight. Please consider this when designing an - installation. Many model rockets with payload bays use clear - plastic for the payload bay. Replacing these with an opaque - cardboard tube, painting them, or wrapping them with a layer of - masking tape are all reasonable approaches to keep the sensor - out of direct sunlight. - - - The barometric sensor sampling ports must be able to "breathe", - both by not being covered by foam or tape or other materials that might - directly block the hole on the top of the sensor, and also by having a - suitable static vent to outside air. - - - As with all other rocketry electronics, Altus Metrum altimeters must - be protected from exposure to corrosive motor exhaust and ejection - charge gasses. - - - - The MicroPeak USB adapter - - - - - - - - - MicroPeak stores barometric pressure information for the first - 48 seconds of the flight in on-board non-volatile memory. The - contents of this memory can be downloaded to a computer using - the MicroPeak USB adapter. - -
- Installing the MicroPeak software - - The MicroPeak application runs on Linux, Mac OS X and - Windows. You can download the latest version from - . - - - On Mac OS X and Windows, the FTDI USB device driver needs to - be installed. A compatible version of this driver is included - with the MicroPeak application, but you may want to download a - newer version from . - -
-
- Downloading Micro Peak data - - - - Plug the MicroPeak USB adapter in to your computer. - - - - - - Start the MicroPeak application. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Click on the Download button at the top of the window. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Select from the listed devices. There will probably be - only one. - - - - - - - - - - - - The application will now wait until it receives valid data - from the MicroPeak USB adapter. - - - - - - - - - - The MicroPeak USB adapter has a small phototransistor - under the hole in the center of the box. - Locate this, turn on the MicroPeak and place the orange LED on the MicroPeak - directly inside the hole, resting the MicroPeak itself on - the box. You should see the blue LED on the MicroPeak USB - adapter blinking in time with the orange LED on the - MicroPeak board itself. - - - - - - - - - - - - - After the maximum flight height is reported, MicroPeak will - pause for a few seconds, blink the LED four times rapidly - and then send the data in one long blur on the LED. The - MicroPeak application should receive the data. When it does, - it will present the data in a graph and offer to save the - data to a file. If not, you can power cycle the MicroPeak - board and try again. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Once the data are saved, a graph will be displayed with - height, speed and acceleration values computed from the - recorded barometric pressure data. See the next section - for more details on that. - - - -
-
- Analyzing MicroPeak Data - - The MicroPeak application can present flight data in the form - of a graph, a collection of computed statistics or in tabular - form. - - - MicroPeak collects raw barometric pressure data which is - then used to compute the remaining data. Altitude is computed - through a standard atmospheric model. Absolute error in this - data will be affected by local atmospheric - conditions. Fortunately, these errors tend to mostly cancel - out, so the error in the height computation is much smaller - than the error in altitude would be. - - - Speed and acceleration are computed by first smoothing the - height data with a Gaussian window averaging filter. For speed - data, this average uses seven samples. For acceleration data, - eleven samples are used. These were chosen to provide - reasonably smooth speed and acceleration data, which would - otherwise be swamped with noise. - - - The File menu has operations to open existing flight logs, - Download new data from MicroPeak, Save a copy of the flight - log to a new file, Export the tabular data (as seen in the Raw - Data tab) to a file, change the application Preferences, Close - the current window or close all windows and Exit the - application. - -
- MicroPeak Graphs - - Under the Graph tab, the height, speed and acceleration values - are displayed together. You can zoom in on the graph by - clicking and dragging to sweep out an area of - interest. Right-click on the plot to bring up a menu that will - let you save, copy or print the graph. - - - - - - - - -
-
- MicroPeak Flight Statistics - - The Statistics tab presents overall data from the flight. Note - that the Maximum height value is taken from the minumum - pressure captured in flight, and may be different from the - apparant apogee value as the on-board data are sampled twice - as fast as the recorded values, or because the true apogee - occurred after the on-board memory was full. Each value is - presented in several units as appropriate. - - - - - - - - -
-
- Raw Data - - A table consisting of the both the raw barometric pressure - data and values computed from that for each recorded time. - - - - - - - - -
-
- Configuring the Graph - - This selects which graph elements to show, and lets you - switch between metric and imperial units - - - - - - - - -
-
-
- Setting MicroPeak Preferences - - - - - - - - - The MicroPeak application has a few user settings which are - configured through the Preferences dialog, which can be - accessed from the File menu. - - - - The Log Directory is where flight data will be saved to - and loaded from by default. Of course, you can always - navigate to other directories in the file chooser windows, - this setting is just the starting point. - - - - - If you prefer to see your graph data in feet and - miles per hour instead of meters and meters per second, - you can select Imperial Units. - - - - - To see what data is actually arriving over the serial - port, start the MicroPeak application from a command - prompt and select the Serial Debug option. This can be - useful in debugging serial communication problems, but - most people need never choose this. - - - - - You can adjust the size of the text in the Statistics tab - by changing the Font size preference. There are three - settings, with luck one will both fit on your screen and - provide readable values. - - - - - The Look & feel menu shows a list of available - application appearance choices. By default, the MicroPeak - application tries to blend in with other applications, but - you may choose some other appearance if you like. - - - - - - Note that MicroPeak shares a subset of the AltosUI - preferences, so if you use both of these applications, change - in one application will affect the other. - -
- - - Technical Information -
- Barometric Sensor - - MicroPeak uses the Measurement Specialties MS5607 sensor. This - has a range of 120kPa to 1kPa with an absolute accuracy of - 150Pa and a resolution of 2.4Pa. - - - The pressure range corresponds roughly to an altitude range of - -1500m (-4900 feet) to 31000m (102000 feet), while the - resolution is approximately 20cm (8 inches) near sea level and - 60cm (24in) at 10000m (33000 feet). - - - Ground pressure is computed from an average of 16 samples, - taken while the altimeter is at rest. The flight pressure used to - report maximum height is computed from a Kalman filter - designed to smooth out any minor noise in the sensor - values. The flight pressure recorded to non-volatile storage - is unfiltered, coming directly from the pressure sensor. - -
-
- Micro-controller - - MicroPeak uses an Atmel ATtiny85 micro-controller. This tiny - CPU contains 8kB of flash for the application, 512B of RAM for - temporary data storage and 512B of EEPROM for non-volatile - storage of previous flight data. - - - The ATtiny85 has a low-power mode which turns off all of the - clocks and powers down most of the internal components. In - this mode, the chip consumes only .1μA of power. MicroPeak - uses this mode once the flight has ended to preserve battery - power. - -
-
- Lithium Battery - - The CR1025 battery used by MicroPeak holds 30mAh of power, - which is sufficient to run for over 40 hours. Because - MicroPeak powers down on landing, run time includes only time - sitting on the launch pad or during flight. - - - The large positive terminal (+) is usually marked, while the - smaller negative terminal is not. Make sure you install the - battery with the positive terminal facing away from the - circuit board where it will be in contact with the metal - battery holder. A small pad on the circuit board makes contact - with the negative battery terminal. - - - Shipping restrictions may prevent us from including a CR1025 - battery with MicroPeak. If so, many stores carry CR1025 - batteries as they are commonly used in small electronic - devices such as flash lights. - -
-
- Atmospheric Model - - MicroPeak contains a fixed atmospheric model which is used to - convert barometric pressure into altitude. The model was - converted into a 469-element piece-wise linear approximation - which is then used to compute the altitude of the ground and - apogee. The difference between these represents the maximum - height of the flight. - - - The model assumes a particular set of atmospheric conditions, - which, while a reasonable average, cannot represent the changing - nature of the real atmosphere. Fortunately, for flights - reasonably close to the ground, the effect of this global - inaccuracy are largely canceled out when the computed ground - altitude is subtracted from the computed apogee altitude, so - the resulting height is more accurate than either the ground - or apogee altitudes. - - - Because the raw pressure data is recorded to non-volatile - storage, you can use that, along with a more sophisticated - atmospheric model, to compute your own altitude values. - -
-
- Mechanical Considerations - - MicroPeak is designed to be rugged enough for typical rocketry - applications. It contains two moving parts, the battery holder - and the power switch, which were selected for their - ruggedness. - - - The MicroPeak battery holder is designed to withstand impact - up to 150g without breaking contact (or, worse yet, causing - the battery to fall out). That means it should stand up to - almost any launch you care to try, and should withstand fairly - rough landings. - - - The power switch is designed to withstand up to 50g forces in - any direction. Because it is a sliding switch, orienting the - switch perpendicular to the direction of rocket travel will - serve to further protect the switch from launch forces. - -
-
- On-board data storage - - The ATtiny85 has 512 bytes of non-volatile storage, separate - from the code storage memory. The MicroPeak firmware uses this - to store information about the last completed - flight. Barometric measurements from the ground before launch - and at apogee are stored, and used at power-on to compute the - height of the last flight. - - - In addition to the data used to present the height of the last - flight, MicroPeak also stores barometric information sampled - at regular intervals during the flight. This is the - information captured with the MicroPeak USB adapter. It can - also be read from MicroPeak through any AVR programming - tool. - - - MicroPeak EEPROM Data Storage - - - - - - - Address - Size (bytes) - Description - - - - - 0x000 - 4 - Average ground pressure (Pa) - - - 0x004 - 4 - Minimum flight pressure (Pa) - - - 0x008 - 2 - Number of in-flight samples - - - 0x00a … 0x1fe - 2 - Instantaneous flight pressure (Pa) low 16 bits - - - -
- - All EEPROM data are stored least-significant byte first. The - instantaneous flight pressure data are stored without the - upper 16 bits of data. The upper bits can be reconstructed - from the previous sample, assuming that pressure doesn't - change by more more than 32kPa in a single sample - interval. Note that this pressure data is not - filtered in any way, while both the recorded ground and apogee - pressure values are, so you shouldn't expect the minimum - instantaneous pressure value to match the recorded minimum - pressure value exactly. - - - MicroPeak samples pressure every 96ms, but stores only every - other sample in the EEPROM. This provides for 251 pressure - samples at 192ms intervals, or 48.192s of storage. The clock - used for these samples is a factory calibrated RC circuit - built into the ATtiny85 and is accurate only to within ±10% at - 25°C. So, you can count on the pressure data being accurate, - but speed or acceleration data computed from this will be - limited by the accuracy of this clock. - -
-
- MicroPeak Programming Interface - - MicroPeak exposes a standard 6-pin AVR programming interface, - but not using the usual 2x3 array of pins on 0.1" - centers. Instead, there is a single row of tiny 0.60mm × - 0.85mm pads on 1.20mm centers exposed near the edge of the - circuit board. We couldn't find any connector that was - small enough to include on the circuit board. - - - In lieu of an actual connector, the easiest way to connect to - the bare pads is through a set of Pogo pins. These - spring-loaded contacts are designed to connect in precisely - this way. We've designed a programming jig, the MicroPeak - Pogo Pin board which provides a standard AVR interface on one - end and a recessed slot for MicroPeak to align the board with - the Pogo Pins. - - - The MicroPeak Pogo Pin board is not a complete AVR programmer, - it is an interface board that provides a 3.3V regulated power - supply to run the MicroPeak via USB and a standard 6-pin AVR - programming interface with the usual 2x3 grid of pins on 0.1" - centers. This can be connected to any AVR programming - dongle. - - - The AVR programming interface cannot run faster than ¼ of the - AVR CPU clock frequency. Because MicroPeak runs at 250kHz to - save power, you must configure your AVR programming system to - clock the AVR programming interface at no faster than - 62.5kHz, or a clock period of 32µS. - -

This + is the default view. + + Satellite:: + Just the satellite imagery without any annotation. + + Roadmap:: + Roads, political boundaries and a few geographic + features. + + Terrain:: + Contour intervals and shading that show hills and + valleys. + + You can specify the range of zoom levels to download; + smaller numbers show more area with less + resolution. The default level, 0, shows about + 3m/pixel. One zoom level change doubles or halves that + number. Larger zoom levels show more detail, smaller + zoom levels less. + + The Map Radius value sets how large an area around the + center point to download. Select a value large enough + to cover any plausible flight from that site. Be aware + that loading a large area with a high maximum zoom + level can attempt to download a lot of data. Loading + hybrid maps with a 10km radius at a minimum zoom of -2 + and a maximum zoom of 2 consumes about 120MB of + space. Terrain and road maps consume about 1/10 as + much space as satellite or hybrid maps. + + Clicking the 'Load Map' button will fetch images from + Google Maps; note that Google limits how many images + you can fetch at once, so if you load more than one + launch site, you may get some gray areas in the map + which indicate that Google is tired of sending data to + you. Try again later. + + === Preferences + + .TeleGPS Preferences Window + image::telegps-preferences.png[width="2.4in"] + + AltosUI provides voice announcements during + flight so that you can keep your eyes on the + sky and still get information about the + current flight status. However, sometimes you + don't want to hear them. + + Enable:: + Turns all voice announcements on and off + + Test Voice:: + Plays a short message allowing you to verify + that the audio system is working and the volume settings + are reasonable + + ==== Log Directory + + AltosUI logs all telemetry data and saves all + TeleMetrum flash data to this directory. This + directory is also used as the staring point + when selecting data files for display or + export. + + Click on the directory name to bring up a + directory choosing dialog, select a new + directory and click 'Select Directory' to + change where AltosUI reads and writes data + files. + + ==== Callsign + + This value is transmitted in each command + packet sent from TeleDongle and received from + an altimeter. It is not used in telemetry + mode, as the callsign configured in the + altimeter board is included in all telemetry + packets. Configure this with the AltosUI + operators call sign as needed to comply with + your local radio regulations. + + Note that to successfully command a flight + computer over the radio (to configure the + altimeter, monitor idle, or fire pyro + charges), the callsign configured here must + exactly match the callsign configured in the + flight computer. This matching is case + sensitive. + + ==== Imperial Units + + This switches between metric units (meters) + and imperial units (feet and miles). This + affects the display of values use during + flight monitoring, configuration, data + graphing and all of the voice + announcements. It does not change the units + used when exporting to CSV files, those are + always produced in metric units. + + ==== Font Size + + Selects the set of fonts used in the flight + monitor window. Choose between the small, + medium and large sets. + + ==== Serial Debug + + This causes all communication with a connected + device to be dumped to the console from which + AltosUI was started. If you've started it from + an icon or menu entry, the output will simply + be discarded. This mode can be useful to debug + various serial communication issues. + + ==== Manage Frequencies + + This brings up a dialog where you can + configure the set of frequencies shown in the + various frequency menus. You can add as many + as you like, or even reconfigure the default + set. Changing this list does not affect the + frequency settings of any devices, it only + changes the set of frequencies shown in the + menus. + + === Close + + This closes the current window, leaving any other windows + open and the application running. + + === Exit + + This closes all TeleGPS windows and terminates the + application. + + === Connect Device + + Selecting this item brings up a dialog box listing all + of the connected TeleDongle devices. When you choose + one of these, AltosUI will display telemetry data as + received by the selected TeleDongle device. + + .Device Selection Dialog + image::device-selection.png[width="3.1in"] + + === Disconnect + + Disconnects the currently connected TeleDongle or + TeleBT + + === Scan Channels + + .Radio Scanning Dialog + image::telegps-scan.png[width="3.1in"] + + Scans the configured set of frequencies looking for + telemetry signals. A list of all of the discovered + signals is show; selecting one of those and clicking + on 'Monitor' will select that frequency in the + associated TeleGPS application window. + + === Download Data + + TeleGPS records data to its internal flash memory. + On-board data is recorded at the same rate as + telemetry but is not subject to radio drop-outs. As + such, it generally provides a more complete and + precise record. The 'Download Data' menu entry allows + you to read the flash memory and write it to disk. + + Select the 'Download Data' menu entry to bring up a + list of connected TeleGPS devices. After the device + has been selected, a dialog showing the data stored in + the device will be shown allowing you to select which + entries to download and which to delete. You must + erase flights in order for the space they consume to + be reused by another track. This prevents accidentally + losing data if you neglect to download data before + starting TeleGPS again. Note that if there is no more + space available in the device, then no data will be + recorded. + + The file name for each data log is computed + automatically from the recorded date, altimeter serial + number and flight number information. + + === Configure Device + + .TeleGPS Configuration Dialog + image::telegps-configure.png[width="3.6in"] + + Select this button and then select any connected TeleGPS + device from the list provided. + + The first few lines of the dialog provide information + about the connected device, including the product + name, software version and hardware serial + number. Below that are the individual configuration + entries. + + At the bottom of the dialog, there are four buttons: + + Save:: + This writes any changes to the configuration parameter + block in flash memory. If you don't press this button, + any changes you make will be lost. + + Reset:: + This resets the dialog to the most recently saved + values, erasing any changes you have made. + + Reboot:: + + This reboots the device. Use this to switch from idle + to pad mode by rebooting once the rocket is oriented + for flight, or to confirm changes you think you saved + are really saved. + + Close:: + + This closes the dialog. Any unsaved changes will be + lost. + + The rest of the dialog contains the parameters to be configured. + + The rest of the dialog contains the parameters to be configured. + + ==== Frequency + + This configures which of the frequencies to use for + both telemetry and packet command mode. Note that if + you set this value via packet command mode, the + TeleDongle frequency will also be automatically + reconfigured to match so that communication will + continue afterwards. + + ==== RF Calibration + + The radios in every Altus Metrum device are calibrated + at the factory to ensure that they transmit and + receive on the specified frequency. If you need to + you can adjust the calibration by changing this value. + Do not do this without understanding what the value + means, read the appendix on calibration and/or the + source code for more information. To change a + TeleDongle's calibration, you must reprogram the unit + completely. + + ==== Telemetry/RDF/APRS Enable + + Enables the radio for transmission during + flight. When disabled, the radio will not + transmit anything during flight at all. + + ==== Telemetry baud rate + + This sets the modulation bit rate for data + transmission for both telemetry and packet + link mode. Lower bit rates will increase range + while reducing the amount of data that can be + sent and increasing battery consumption. All + telemetry is done using a rate 1/2 constraint + 4 convolution code, so the actual data + transmission rate is 1/2 of the modulation bit + rate specified here. + + ==== APRS Interval + + How often to transmit GPS information via APRS + (in seconds). When set to zero, APRS + transmission is disabled. This option is + available on TeleMetrum v2 and TeleMega + boards. TeleMetrum v1 boards cannot transmit + APRS packets. Note that a single APRS packet + takes nearly a full second to transmit, so + enabling this option will prevent sending any + other telemetry during that time. + + ==== APRS SSID + + Which SSID to report in APRS packets. By + default, this is set to the last digit of the + serial number, but can be configured to any + value from 0 to 9. + + ==== Callsign + + This sets the call sign included in each + telemetry packet. Set this as needed to + conform to your local radio regulations. + + ==== Logging Trigger Motion + + If TeleGPS moves less than this distance over + a long period of time, it will not log that + location, saving storage space. + + ==== Position Reporting Interval + + This sets how often TeleGPS reports position + information via telemetry and to the on-board + log.

You can configure - the APRS interval using AltosUI; that process is described in - the Configure Altimeter section of the AltosUI chapter. - - - AltOS uses the APRS compressed position report data format, - which provides for higher position precision and shorter - packets than the original APRS format. It also includes - altitude data, which is invaluable when tracking rockets. We - haven't found a receiver which doesn't handle compressed - positions, but it's just possible that you have one, so if you - have an older device that can receive the raw packets but - isn't displaying position information, it's possible that this - is the cause. - - - The APRS packet format includes a comment field that can have - arbitrary text in it. AltOS uses this to send status - information about the flight computer. It sends four fields as - shown in the following table. - - - Altus Metrum APRS Comments - - - - - - - - Field - Example - Description - - - - - 1 - L - GPS Status U for unlocked, L for locked - - - 2 - 6 - Number of Satellites in View - - - 3 - B4.0 - Battery Voltage - - - -
- - Here's an example of an APRS comment showing GPS lock with 6 - satellites in view and a battery at 4.0V. - - L6 B4.0 - - - - Make sure your primary battery is above 3.8V and GPS is locked - with at least 5 or 6 satellites in view before starting. If GPS - is switching between L and U regularly, then it doesn't have a - good lock and you should wait until it becomes stable. - - - If the GPS receiver loses lock, the APRS data transmitted will - contain the last position for which GPS lock was - available. You can tell that this has happened by noticing - that the GPS status character switches from 'L' to 'U'. Before - GPS has locked, APRS will transmit zero for latitude, - longitude and altitude. - -
-
- Configurable Parameters - - Configuring TeleGPS is very - simple; the few configurable parameters can all be set - using the TeleGPS application over USB. Read - the Configure TeleGPS section in the TeleGPS Software chapter below - for more information. - -
- Radio Frequency - - Altus Metrum boards support radio frequencies in the 70cm - band. By default, the configuration interface provides a - list of 10 “standard” frequencies in 100kHz channels starting at - 434.550MHz. However, the firmware supports use of - any 50kHz multiple within the 70cm band. At any given - launch, we highly recommend coordinating when and by whom each - frequency will be used to avoid interference. And of course, both - TeleGPS and the receiver must be configured to the same - frequency to successfully communicate with each other. - -
-
- Callsign - - This sets the callsign used for telemetry and APRS to - identify the device. - -
-
- Telemetry/RDF/APRS Enable - - You can completely disable the radio, if necessary, leaving - TeleGPS only logging data to internal memory. - -
-
- APRS Interval - - This selects how often APRS packets are transmitted. Set - this to zero to disable APRS without also disabling the - regular telemetry and RDF transmissions. As APRS takes a - full second to transmit a single position report, we - recommend sending packets no more than once every 5 seconds. - -
-
- Maximum Flight Log - - Changing this value will set the maximum amount of flight - log storage that an individual flight will use. The - available storage is divided into as many flights of the - specified size as can fit in the available space. You can - download and erase individual flight logs. If you fill up - the available storage, future flights will not get logged - until you erase some of the stored ones. - -
-
- Logging Trigger Motion - - If TeleGPS moves less than this distance over a long period - of time, it will not log that location, saving storage space. - -
-
- Position Reporting Interval - - This sets how often TeleGPS reports position information via - telemetry and to the on-board log. Reducing this value will - save power and logging memory consumption. - -
-
- - - TeleGPS Application - - The TeleGPS application provides a graphical user interface for - interacting with the Altus Metrum product family. TeleGPS can - monitor telemetry data, configure devices and many other - tasks. The primary interface window is for displaying data - received over the telemetry link. There are additional - tasks available from the main window menu bar. This chapter - is split into sections, each of which documents one of the tasks - provided from the top-level toolbar. - -
- Telemetry Monitoring - - This is the window brought up when you start the - application. If you have a TeleDongle device connected to the - computer, it will automatically be selected for telemetry monitoring - - - All telemetry data received are automatically recorded in - suitable log files. The name of the files includes the current - date and TeleGPS serial and flight numbers. - - - The radio frequency being monitored by the TeleDongle device - is displayed at the top of the window. You can configure the - frequency by clicking on the frequency box and selecting the - desired frequency. The TeleGPS application remembers the last - frequency selected for each TeleDongle and selects that - automatically the next time you use that device. - - - Below the TeleDongle frequency selector, the window contains a few - significant pieces of information about the altimeter providing - the telemetry data stream: - - - - The configured call-sign - - - The device serial number - - - The flight number. TeleGPS remembers how many - times it has flown. - - - - - The Received Signal Strength Indicator value. This lets - you know how strong a signal TeleDongle is receiving. The - radio inside TeleDongle operates down to about -100dBm; - weaker signals may not be receivable. The packet link uses - error detection and correction techniques which prevent - incorrect data from being reported. - - - - - The age of the displayed data, in seconds since the last - successfully received telemetry packet. In normal operation - this will stay in the low single digits. If the number starts - counting up, then you are no longer receiving data over the radio - link from the flight computer. - - - - - Finally, the largest portion of the window contains a set of - tabs, each of which contain some information about the TeleGPS - board. The final 'table' tab displays many of the raw telemetry - values in one place in a spreadsheet-like format. - -
- Map - - The Map tab shows the TeleGPS track over time on top of map - data making it easy to locate the device. - - - - - - - - - - The map's default scale is approximately 3m (10ft) per pixel. The map - can be dragged using the left mouse button. The map will attempt - to keep the rocket roughly centered while data is being received. - - - You can adjust the style of map and the zoom level with - buttons on the right side of the map window. You can draw a - line on the map by moving the mouse over the map with a - button other than the left one pressed, or by pressing the - left button while also holding down the shift key. The - length of the line in real-world units will be shown at the - start of the line. - - - Images are fetched automatically via the Google Maps Static API, - and cached on disk for reuse. If map images cannot be downloaded, - the rocket's path will be traced on a dark gray background - instead. - - - You can pre-load images for your favorite launch sites - before you leave home; check out the 'Preload Maps' section below. - -
-
- Location - - The Location tab shows the raw GPS data received from TeleGPS. - - - - - - - - -
-
- Status - - The Status tab shows data relative to the location of - TeleGPS when the application first received telemetry from - it. - - - - - - - - -
-
- Table - - The Table tab shows detailed information about the GPS - receiver - - - - - - - - -
-
- -
- TeleGPS Menus - - TeleGPS has three or four menus at the top of the window: - - - File - - - New Window, Graph Data, Export Data, Load Maps, Preferences, Close and Exit - - - - - Monitor - - - Connect Device, Disconnect and Scan Channels - - - - - Device - - - Download Data, Configure Device and Flash Device - - - - - Frequency - - - This shows the current monitoring frequency with a - drop-down menu listing other configured - frequencies. You can change the set of frequencies - shown here from the Preferences dialog. This menu is - only shown when the TeleGPS application is connected - to a TeleDongle or TeleBT device. - - - - - -
- New Window - - This creates another telemetry monitoring window, in case - you have multiple TeleDongle devices connected to the - computer. - -
-
- Graph Data - - This brings up a file dialog to load a saved log, either - a .telem file of recorded telemetry or .eeprom of saved - data from on-board memory. It looks a bit like the flight - monitoring window, using a selection of tabs to show - different views of the saved data. - -
- Graph - - The Graph tab shows a plot of the the GPS data - collected. The X axis is time in seconds; there are a - variety of Y axes available for different kinds of data. - - - - - - - - -
-
- Configure Graph - - - - - - - - - This selects which graph elements to show, and, at the - bottom, lets you switch between metric and imperial units - -
-
- Statistics - - - - - - - - - Shows overall data computed from the flight. - -
-
- Map - - - - - - - - - Shows a map of the area overlaid with the GPS track. As with - the telemetry monitoring window, you can select the style - of map and zoom level using buttons along the side; - you can scroll the map by dragging within the map pressing - the left button and you can draw a line to measure - distances using either the left button with the shift key, - or any other button. - -
-
-
- Export Data - - This tool takes the raw data files and makes them available for - external analysis. When you select this button, you are prompted to - select a data file, which can be either a .eeprom or .telem. - The .eeprom files contain higher resolution and more continuous data, - while .telem files contain receiver signal strength information. - Next, a second dialog appears which is used to select - where to write the resulting file. It has a selector to choose - between CSV and KML file formats. - -
- Comma Separated Value Format - - This is a text file containing the data in a form suitable for - import into a spreadsheet or other external data analysis - tool. The first few lines of the file contain the version and - configuration information from TeleGPS, then - there is a single header line which labels all of the - fields. All of these lines start with a '#' character which - many tools can be configured to skip over. - - - The remaining lines of the file contain the data, with each - field separated by a comma and at least one space. All of - the sensor values are converted to standard units, with the - barometric data reported in both pressure, altitude and - height above pad units. - -
-
- Keyhole Markup Language (for Google Earth) - - This is the format used by Google Earth to provide an overlay - within that application. With this, you can use Google Earth to - see the whole flight path in 3D. - -
-
-
- Load Maps - - - - - - - - - Before using TeleGPS, you can use Load Maps to load map data - in case you don't have access to the internet while - receiving telemetry. - - - There's a drop-down menu of rocket launch sites we know - about; if your favorites aren't there, please let us know - the lat/lon and name of the site. The contents of this list - are actually downloaded from our server at run-time, so as - new sites are sent in, they'll get automatically added to - this list. If the launch site isn't in the list, you can - manually enter the lat/lon values - - - There are four different kinds of maps you can view; you can - select which to download by selecting as many as you like from - the available types: - - - Hybrid - - - A combination of satellite imagery and road data. This - is the default view. - - - - - Satellite - - - Just the satellite imagery without any annotation. - - - - - Roadmap - - - Roads, political boundaries and a few geographic features. - - - - - Terrain - - - Contour intervals and shading that show hills and - valleys. - - - - - - - You can specify the range of zoom levels to download; smaller - numbers show more area with less resolution. The default - level, 0, shows about 3m/pixel. One zoom level change - doubles or halves that number. - - - The Tile Radius value sets how large an area around the center - point to download. Each tile is 512x512 pixels, and the - 'radius' value specifies how many tiles away from the center - will be downloaded. Specify a radius of 0 and you get only the - center tile. A radius of 1 loads a 3x3 grid, centered on the - specified location. - - - Clicking the 'Load Map' button will fetch images from Google - Maps; note that Google limits how many images you can fetch at - once, so if you load more than one launch site, you may get - some gray areas in the map which indicate that Google is tired - of sending data to you. Try again later. - -
-
- Preferences - - - - - - - -
- Voice Settings - - AltosUI provides voice announcements during flight so that you - can keep your eyes on the sky and still get information about - the current flight status. However, sometimes you don't want - to hear them. - - - - Enable - - Turns all voice announcements on and off - - - - Test Voice - - - Plays a short message allowing you to verify - that the audio system is working and the volume settings - are reasonable - - - - -
-
- Log Directory - - AltosUI logs all telemetry data and saves all TeleMetrum flash - data to this directory. This directory is also used as the - staring point when selecting data files for display or export. - - - Click on the directory name to bring up a directory choosing - dialog, select a new directory and click 'Select Directory' to - change where AltosUI reads and writes data files. - -
-
- Callsign - - This value is transmitted in each command packet sent from - TeleDongle and received from an altimeter. It is not used in - telemetry mode, as the callsign configured in the altimeter board - is included in all telemetry packets. Configure this - with the AltosUI operators call sign as needed to comply with - your local radio regulations. - - - Note that to successfully command a flight computer over the radio - (to configure the altimeter, monitor idle, or fire pyro charges), - the callsign configured here must exactly match the callsign - configured in the flight computer. This matching is case - sensitive. - -
-
- Imperial Units - - This switches between metric units (meters) and imperial - units (feet and miles). This affects the display of values - use during flight monitoring, configuration, data graphing - and all of the voice announcements. It does not change the - units used when exporting to CSV files, those are always - produced in metric units. - -
-
- Serial Debug - - This causes all communication with a connected device to be - dumped to the console from which AltosUI was started. If - you've started it from an icon or menu entry, the output - will simply be discarded. This mode can be useful to debug - various serial communication issues. - -
-
- Font Size - - Selects the set of fonts used in the flight monitor - window. Choose between the small, medium and large sets. - -
-
- Look & Feel - - Adjust the style of the windows. By default, the TeleGPS - application attempts to blend in with the native style. - -
-
- Manage Frequencies - - This brings up a dialog where you can configure the set of - frequencies shown in the various frequency menus. You can - add as many as you like, or even reconfigure the default - set. Changing this list does not affect the frequency - settings of any devices, it only changes the set of - frequencies shown in the menus. - -
-
-
- Close - - This closes the current window, leaving any other windows - open and the application running. - -
-
- Exit - - This closes all TeleGPS windows and terminates the application. - -
-
- Connect Device - - Selecting this item brings up a dialog box listing all of - the connected TeleDongle devices. When you choose one of - these, AltosUI will display telemetry data as received by - the selected TeleDongle device. - - - - - - - - -
-
- Disconnect - - Disconnects the currently connected TeleDongle or TeleBT - -
-
- Scan Channels - - Scans the configured set of frequencies looking for - telemetry signals. A list of all of the discovered signals - is show; selecting one of those and clicking on 'Monitor' - will select that frequency in the associated TeleGPS - application window. - - - - - - - - -
-
- Download Data - - TeleGPS records data to its internal flash memory. - On-board data is recorded at the same rate as telemetry - but is not subject to radio drop-outs. As - such, it generally provides a more complete and precise record. - The 'Download Data' menu entry allows you to read the - flash memory and write it to disk. - - - Select the 'Download Data' menu entry to bring up a list of - connected TeleGPS devices. After the device has been - selected, a dialog showing the data stored in the - device will be shown allowing you to select which entries to - download and which to delete. You must erase flights in order for the space they - consume to be reused by another track. This prevents - accidentally losing data if you neglect to download - data before starting TeleGPS again. Note that if there is no more - space available in the device, then no data will be recorded. - - - The file name for each data log is computed automatically - from the recorded date, altimeter serial number and flight - number information. - -
-
- Configure Device - - - - - - - - - Select this button and then select any connected TeleGPS - device from the list provided. - - - The first few lines of the dialog provide information about the - connected device, including the product name, - software version and hardware serial number. Below that are the - individual configuration entries. - - - At the bottom of the dialog, there are four buttons: - - - - Save - - - This writes any changes to the - configuration parameter block in flash memory. If you don't - press this button, any changes you make will be lost. - - - - - Reset - - - This resets the dialog to the most recently saved values, - erasing any changes you have made. - - - - - Reboot - - - This reboots the device. This will restart logging for - a new flight number, if any log information has been - saved for the current flight. - - - - - Close - - - This closes the dialog. Any unsaved changes will be - lost. - - - - - - The rest of the dialog contains the parameters to be configured. - -
- Frequency - - This configures which of the frequencies to use for both - telemetry and packet command mode. Note that if you set this - value via packet command mode, the TeleDongle frequency will - also be automatically reconfigured to match so that - communication will continue afterwards. - -
-
- RF Calibration - - The radios in every Altus Metrum device are calibrated at the - factory to ensure that they transmit and receive on the - specified frequency. If you need to you can adjust the calibration - by changing this value. Do not do this without understanding what - the value means, read the appendix on calibration and/or the source - code for more information. To change a TeleDongle's calibration, - you must reprogram the unit completely. - -
-
- Telemetry/RDF/APRS Enable - - Enables the radio for transmission during flight. When - disabled, the radio will not transmit anything during flight - at all. - -
-
- APRS Interval - - How often to transmit GPS information via APRS (in - seconds). When set to zero, APRS transmission is - disabled. This option is available on TeleMetrum v2 and - TeleMega boards. TeleMetrum v1 boards cannot transmit APRS - packets. Note that a single APRS packet takes nearly a full - second to transmit, so enabling this option will prevent - sending any other telemetry during that time. - -
-
- Callsign - - This sets the call sign included in each telemetry packet. Set this - as needed to conform to your local radio regulations. - -
-
- Maximum Log Size - - This sets the space (in kilobytes) allocated for each data - log. The available space will be divided into chunks of this - size. A smaller value will allow more logs to be stored, - a larger value will record data for longer times. - -
-
- Logging Trigger Motion - - If TeleGPS moves less than this distance over a long period - of time, it will not log that location, saving storage space. - -
-
- Position Reporting Interval - - This sets how often TeleGPS reports position information via - telemetry and to the on-board log. Reducing this value will - save power and logging memory consumption. - -
-
-
- Flash Device - - This reprograms TeleGPS devices with new firmware. Please - read the directions for flashing devices in the Updating - Device Firmware chapter below. - -
-
- - - Updating Device Firmware - - TeleGPS is programmed directly over its USB connectors. - - - You may wish to begin by ensuring you have current firmware images. - These are distributed as part of the TeleGPS software bundle that - also includes the TeleGPS ground station program. Newer ground - station versions typically work fine with older firmware versions, - so you don't need to update your devices just to try out new - software features. You can always download the most recent - version from . - -
- - Updating TeleGPS Firmware - - - - - Attach a battery and power switch to the target - device. Power up the device. - - - - - Using a Micro USB cable, connect the target device to your - computer's USB socket. - - - - - Run TeleGPS, and select 'Flash Device' from the Device menu. - - - - - Select the target device in the Device Selection dialog. - - - - - Select the image you want to flash to the device, which - should have a name in the form - <product>-v<product-version>-<software-version>.ihx, such - as TeleGPS-v1.0-1.4.0.ihx. - - - - - Make sure the configuration parameters are reasonable - looking. If the serial number and/or RF configuration - values aren't right, you'll need to change them. - - - - - Hit the 'OK' button and the software should proceed to flash - the device with new firmware, showing a progress bar. - - - - - Verify that the device is working by using the 'Configure - Altimeter' item to check over the configuration. - - - - -
- - - Technical Information -
- GPS Receiver - - TeleGPS uses the u-Blox Max-7Q GPS receiver. - -
