- Version 1.3.1 is a minor release. It improves support for TeleMega, - TeleMetrum v2.0, TeleMini v2.0 and EasyMini. -

- AltOS Firmware Changes -

- Improve sensor boot code. If sensors fail to self-test, the - device will still boot up and check for pad/idle modes. If - in idle mode, the device will warn the user with a distinct - beep, if in Pad mode, the unit will operate as best it - can. Also, the Z-axis accelerometer now uses the factory - calibration values instead of re-calibrating on the pad each - time. This avoids accidental boost detect when moving the - device around while in Pad mode. -
- Fix antenna-down mode accelerometer configuration. Antenna - down mode wasn't working because the accelerometer - calibration values were getting re-computed incorrectly in - inverted mode. -
- Improved APRS mode. Now uses compressed position format for - smaller data size, improved precision and to include - altitude data as well as latitude and longitude. Also added - battery and pyro voltage reports in the APRS comment field - so you can confirm that the unit is ready for launch. -

- AltosUI changes -

- Display additional TeleMega sensor values in real - units. Make all of these values available for - plotting. Display TeleMega orientation value in the Ascent - and Table tabs. -
- Support additional TeleMega pyro channels in the Fire - Igniter dialog. This lets you do remote testing of all of - the channels, rather than just Apogee and Main. -
- Limit data rate when downloading satellite images from - Google to make sure we stay within their limits so that all - of the map tiles download successfully. -
