Only relevant for TeleMega at this -time. -</li></ul></div><p>AltOS fixes:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"> -Replace the <span class="emphasis"><em>dit dit dit</em></span> tones at startup with the -current battery voltage, measured in tenths of a -volt. This lets you check the battery voltage -without needing telemetry, which is especially -useful on EasyMini. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Change state beeping to "Farnsworth spacing", which -means they’re quite a bit faster than before, and so -they take less time to send. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Fix bug preventing the selection of the <span class="emphasis"><em>Flight -State After</em></span> mode in pyro configuration. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Fix bug where erasing flights would reset the flight -number to 2 on TeleMega and TeleMetrum v2. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Fix u-Blox GPS driver to mark course and speed data -as being present. -</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 zooming and new content types (terrain and road -maps) to map view. Change map storage format from -PNG to Jpeg, which saves a huge amount of disk -space. You will need to re-download all of your -pre-loaded map images. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Add a distance measuring device to the maps -view. Select this by using any button other than the -left one, or by pressing shift or control on the -keyboard while using the left button. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Add new <span class="emphasis"><em>Ignitor</em></span> tab to the flight monitor display -for TeleMega’s extra ignitors. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Add additional ignitor firing marks and voltages to -the graph so you can see when the ignitors fired, -along with the ignitor voltages. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Add GPS course, ground speed and climb rate as -optional graph elements. -</li></ul></div><p>AltosUI fixes:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"> -When flashing new firmware, re-try opening the -device as sometimes it takes a while for the -underlying operating system to recognize that the -device has rebooted in preparation for the flashing -operation. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Hide Tilt Angle in ascent tab for devices that don’t -have a gyro. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Increase the width of data lines in the graphs to -make them easier to read. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Filter out speed and acceleration spikes caused by -ejection charge firing when computing the maximum -values. This provides a more accurate reading of -those maximums. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Fix EasyMini voltage displays. Early EasyMini -prototypes used a 3.0V regulator, and AltosUI still -used that value as the basis of the -computation. Production EasyMini boards have always -shipped with a 3.3V regulator. Also, purple EasyMini -boards sensed the battery voltage past the blocking -diode, resulting in a drop of about 150mV from the -true battery voltage. Compensate for that when -displaying the value. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Display error message when trying to configure -maximum flight log size while the flight computer -still has flight data stored. -</li><li class="listitem"> -Handle TeleMetrum and TeleMini eeprom files -generated with pre-1.0 firmware. Those ancient -versions didn’t report the log format, so just use -the product name instead. -</li></ul></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_telegps_application"></a>3.
