+ Version 1.6 includes support for our updated TeleDongle v3.0 + product and bug fixes in in the flight software for all our boards + and ground station interfaces. +

+ AltOS New Features +

+ Add support for TeleDongle v3.0 boards. +

+ AltOS Fixes +

+ Don't beep out the continuity twice by accident in idle mode. + If the battery voltage report takes longer than the initialiation + sequence, the igniter continuity would get reported twice. +
+ Record all 32 bits of gyro calibration data in TeleMega and + EasyMega log files. This fixes computation of the gyro rates + in AltosUI. +
+ Change TeleDongle LED usage. Green LED flashes when valid + packet is received. Red LED flashes when invalid packet is + received. +
+ Replace LPC11U14 SPI driver with non-interrupt version. The + interrupt code would occasionally wedge on long transfers + if interrupts were blocked for too long. This affects all + released TeleGPS products; if you have a TeleGPS device, + you'll want to reflash the firmware. +

+ AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features +

+ Compute tilt angle from TeleMega and EasyMega log + files. This duplicates the quaternion-based angle tracking + code from the flight firmware inside the ground station + software so that post-flight analysis can include evaluation + of the tilt angle. +
+ Shows the tool button window when starting with a data file + specified. This means that opening a data file from the file + manager will now bring up the main window to let you operate + the whole application. +

+ AltosUI Fixes +

+ Show the 'Connecting' dialog when using Monitor Idle. Lets + you cancel the Monitor Idle startup when connecting over the + radio link. +
+ Make 'Monitor Idle' work for TeleGPS devices when connected + over USB. It's nice for testing without needing to broadcast + over the radio. +
+ Use different Windows API to discover USB devices. This + works better on my Windows 7 box, and will be used if the + older API fails to provide the necessary information. +
+ Look in more places in the registry to try and identify the + installed Java version on Windows. If you install the + default 32-bit version of Windows on a 64-bit OS, the Java + registry information is hiding \SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node for + some reason. +
+ Fix file association on Windows by searching for the + javaw.exe program instead of assuming it is in + %SYSTEMROOT%. This makes double-clicking on Altus Metrum + data files in the file manager work correctly. +
+ When replaying a file, put 'done' in the Age field when we + reach the end of the file, instead of continuing to count forever. +
+ In the Scan Channels code, wait for five seconds if we see + any packet. This is needed because AltOS now sends the + callsign, serial number and flight number only once every + five seconds these days. +
+ In the Scan Channels code, reset pending flight state + information each time we change channels. This avoids having + flight computers appear on multiple frequencies by accident. +
