-TeleMini device and lots of new AltosUI features</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_altos"></a>1. AltOS</h2></div></div></div><p>AltOS New Features</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
-Add TeleMini v1.0 support.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Support operation of TeleMetrum with the antenna pointing
-aft. Previous firmware versions required the antenna to be
-pointing upwards, now there is a configuration option
-allowing the antenna to point aft, to aid installation in
-some airframes.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Ability to disable telemetry. For airframes where an antenna
-just isn’t possible, or where radio transmissions might
-cause trouble with other electronics, there’s a
-configuration option to disable all telemetry. Note that the
-board will still enable the radio link in idle mode.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Arbitrary frequency selection. The radios in Altus Metrum
-devices can be programmed to a wide range of frequencies, so
-instead of limiting devices to 10 pre-selected <span class="emphasis"><em>channels</em></span>,
-the new firmware allows the user to choose any frequency in
-the 70cm band. Note that the RF matching circuit on the
-boards is tuned for around 435MHz, so frequencies far from
-that may reduce the available range.
-</li></ul></div><p>AltOS Fixes</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
-Change telemetry to be encoded in multiple 32-byte
-packets. This enables support for TeleMini and other devices
-without requiring further updates to the TeleDongle
-firmware.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Kalman-filter based flight-tracking. The model based sensor
-fusion approach of a Kalman filter means that AltOS now
-computes apogee much more accurately than before, generally
-within a fraction of a second. In addition, this approach
-allows the baro-only TeleMini device to correctly identify
-Mach transitions, avoiding the error-prone selection of a
-Mach delay.
-</li></ul></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_altosui_application"></a>2. AltosUI Application</h2></div></div></div><p>AltosUI New Features</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
-Add main/apogee voltage graphs to the data
-plot. This provides a visual indication if the
-igniters fail before being fired.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Scan for altimeter devices by watching the defined
-telemetry frequencies. This avoids the problem of
-remembering what frequency a device was configured
-to use, which is especially important with TeleMini
-which does not include a USB connection.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Monitor altimeter state in "Idle" mode. This
-provides much of the information presented in the
-"Pad" dialog from the Monitor Flight command,
-monitoring the igniters, battery and GPS status
-withing requiring the flight computer to be armed
-and ready for flight.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Pre-load map images from home. For those launch
-sites which don’t provide free Wi-Fi, this allows
-you to download the necessary satellite images
-given the location of the launch site. A list of
-known launch sites is maintained at altusmetrum.org
-which AltosUI downloads to populate a menu; if
-you’ve got a launch site not on that list, please
-send the name of it, latitude and longitude along
-with a link to the web site of the controlling club
-to the altusmetrum mailing list.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Flight statistics are now displayed in the Graph
-data window. These include max height/speed/accel,
-average descent rates and a few other bits of
-information. The Graph Data window can now be
-reached from the <span class="emphasis"><em>Landed</em></span> tab in the Monitor Flight
-window so you can immediately see the results of a
-flight.
-</li></ul></div><p>AltosUI Changes</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
-Wait for altimeter when using packet mode. Instead
-of quicly timing out when trying to initialize a
-packet mode configuration connection, AltosUI now
-waits indefinitely for the remote device to appear,
-providing a cancel button should the user get
-bored. This is necessary as the TeleMini can only be
-placed in "Idle" mode if AltosUI is polling it.
