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

1. AltOS

AltOS new features:

-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. -

AltOS fixes:

-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. -

AltosUI new features:

-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. -

AltosUI fixes:

-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. -
