+ Version 1.1.1 is a bug-fix release. It fixes a couple of bugs in + AltosUI and one firmware bug that affects TeleMetrum version 1.0 + boards. Thanks to Bob Brown for help diagnosing the Google Earth + file export issue, and for suggesting the addition of the Ground + Distance value in the Descent tab. +

+ AltOS Firmware Changes +

  • + TeleMetrum v1.0 boards use the AT45DB081D flash memory part to + store flight data, which is different from later TeleMetrum + boards. The AltOS v1.1 driver for this chip couldn't erase + memory, leaving it impossible to delete flight data or update + configuration values. This bug doesn't affect newer TeleMetrum + boards, and it doesn't affect the safety of rockets flying + version 1.1 firmware. +

+

+ AltosUI Changes +

  • + Creating a Google Earth file (KML) from on-board flight data + (EEPROM) would generate an empty file. The code responsible + for reading the EEPROM file wasn't ever setting the GPS valid + bits, and so the KML export code thought there was no GPS data + in the file. +
  • + The “Landed” tab was displaying all values in metric units, + even when AltosUI was configured to display imperial + units. Somehow I just missed this tab when doing the units stuff. +
  • + The “Descent” tab displays the range to the rocket, which is a + combination of the over-the-ground distance to the rockets + current latitude/longitude and the height of the rocket. As + such, it's useful for knowing how far away the rocket is, but + difficult to use when estimating where the rocket might + eventually land. A new “Ground Distance” field has been added + which displays the distance to a spot right underneath the + rocket. +
  • + Sensor data wasn't being displayed for TeleMini flight + computers in Monitor Idle mode, including things like battery + voltage. The code that picked which kinds of data to fetch + from the flight computer was missing a check for TeleMini when + deciding whether to fetch the analog sensor data. +
