+ Version 0.8 offers a major upgrade in the AltosUI + interface. Significant new features include: +

  • + Post-flight graphing tool. This lets you explore the behaviour + of your rocket after flight with a scroll-able and zoom-able + chart showing the altitude, speed and acceleration of the + airframe along with events recorded by the flight computer. You + can export graphs to PNG files, or print them directly. +
  • + Real-time moving map which overlays the in-progress flight on + satellite imagery fetched from Google Maps. This lets you see in + pictures where your rocket has landed, allowing you to plan + recovery activities more accurately. +
  • + Wireless recovery system testing. Prep your rocket for flight + and test fire the deployment charges to make sure things work as + expected. All without threading wires through holes in your + airframe. +
  • + Optimized flight status displays. Each flight state now has it's + own custom 'tab' in the flight monitoring window so you can + focus on the most important details. Pre-flight, the system + shows a set of red/green status indicators for battery voltage, + apogee/main igniter continutity and GPS reception. Wait until + they're all green and your rocket is ready for flight. There are + also tabs for ascent, descent and landing along with the + original tabular view of the data. +
  • + Monitor multiple flights simultaneously. If you have more than + one TeleDongle, you can monitor a flight with each one on the + same computer. +
  • + Automatic flight monitoring at startup. Plug TeleDongle into the + machine before starting AltosUI and it will automatically + connect to it and prepare to monitor a flight. +
  • + Exports Google Earth flight tracks. Using the Keyhole Markup + Language (.kml) file format, this provides a 3D view of your + rocket flight through the Google Earth program. +
