Version 0.7.1 is the first release containing our new -cross-platform Java-based user interface.

1. AltosUI Application

  • -Receive and log telemetry from a connected TeleDongle -device. All data received is saved to log files named with -the current date and the connected rocket serial and flight -numbers. There is no mode in which telemetry data will not -be saved. -
  • -Download logged data from TeleMetrum devices, either through -a direct USB connection or over the air through a TeleDongle -device. -
  • -Configure a TeleMetrum device, setting the radio channel, -callsign, apogee delay and main deploy height. This can be -done through either a USB connection or over a radio link -via a TeleDongle device. -
  • -Replay a flight in real-time. This takes a saved telemetry -log or eeprom download and replays it through the user -interface so you can relive your favorite rocket flights. -
  • -Reprogram Altus Metrum devices. Using an Altus Metrum device -connected via USB, another Altus Metrum device can be -reprogrammed using the supplied programming cable between -the two devices. -
  • -Export Flight data to a comma-separated-values file. This -takes either telemetry or on-board flight data and generates -data suitable for use in external applications. All data is -exported using standard units so that no device-specific -knowledge is needed to handle the data. -
  • -Speak to you during the flight. Instead of spending the -flight hunched over your laptop looking at the screen, enjoy -the view while the computer tells you what’s going on up -there. During ascent, you hear the current flight state and -altitude information. During descent, you get azimuth, -elevation and range information to try and help you find -your rocket in the air. Once on the ground, the direction -and distance are reported. -

Version 0.8 offers a major upgrade in the AltosUI -interface.

1. AltosUI Application:

  • -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. -

Version 0.9 adds a few new firmware features and accompanying -AltosUI changes, along with new hardware support.

1. AltOS

  • -Support for TeleMetrum v1.1 hardware. Sources for the flash -memory part used in v1.0 dried up, so v1.1 uses a different -part which required a new driver and support for explicit -flight log erasing. -
  • -Multiple flight log support. This stores more than one -flight log in the on-board flash memory. It also requires -the user to explicitly erase flights so that you won’t lose -flight logs just because you fly the same board twice in one -day. -
  • -Telemetry support for devices with serial number >= 256. -Previous versions used a telemetry packet format that -provided only 8 bits for the device serial number. This -change requires that both ends of the telemetry link be -running the 0.9 firmware or they will not communicate. -

2. AltosUI Application

  • -Support for telemetry format changes. -
  • -Support for multiple flight logs. -

Version 1.0.1 is a major release, adding support for the -TeleMini device and lots of new AltosUI features

1. AltOS

AltOS New Features

  • -Add TeleMini v1.0 support. -
  • -Support operation of TeleMetrum with the antenna pointing -aft. Previous firmware versions required the antenna to be -pointing upwards, now there is a configuration option -allowing the antenna to point aft, to aid installation in -some airframes. -
  • -Ability to disable telemetry. For airframes where an antenna -just isn’t possible, or where radio transmissions might -cause trouble with other electronics, there’s a -configuration option to disable all telemetry. Note that the -board will still enable the radio link in idle mode. -
  • -Arbitrary frequency selection. The radios in Altus Metrum -devices can be programmed to a wide range of frequencies, so -instead of limiting devices to 10 pre-selected channels, -the new firmware allows the user to choose any frequency in -the 70cm band. Note that the RF matching circuit on the -boards is tuned for around 435MHz, so frequencies far from -that may reduce the available range. -

AltOS Fixes

  • -Change telemetry to be encoded in multiple 32-byte -packets. This enables support for TeleMini and other devices -without requiring further updates to the TeleDongle -firmware. -
  • -Kalman-filter based flight-tracking. The model based sensor -fusion approach of a Kalman filter means that AltOS now -computes apogee much more accurately than before, generally -within a fraction of a second. In addition, this approach -allows the baro-only TeleMini device to correctly identify -Mach transitions, avoiding the error-prone selection of a -Mach delay. -

2. AltosUI Application

AltosUI New Features

  • -Add main/apogee voltage graphs to the data -plot. This provides a visual indication if the -igniters fail before being fired. -
  • -Scan for altimeter devices by watching the defined -telemetry frequencies. This avoids the problem of -remembering what frequency a device was configured -to use, which is especially important with TeleMini -which does not include a USB connection. -
  • -Monitor altimeter state in "Idle" mode. This -provides much of the information presented in the -"Pad" dialog from the Monitor Flight command, -monitoring the igniters, battery and GPS status -withing requiring the flight computer to be armed -and ready for flight. -
  • -Pre-load map images from home. For those launch -sites which don’t provide free Wi-Fi, this allows -you to download the necessary satellite images -given the location of the launch site. A list of -known launch sites is maintained at altusmetrum.org -which AltosUI downloads to populate a menu; if -you’ve got a launch site not on that list, please -send the name of it, latitude and longitude along -with a link to the web site of the controlling club -to the altusmetrum mailing list. -
  • -Flight statistics are now displayed in the Graph -data window. These include max height/speed/accel, -average descent rates and a few other bits of -information. The Graph Data window can now be -reached from the Landed tab in the Monitor Flight -window so you can immediately see the results of a -flight. -

AltosUI Changes

  • -Wait for altimeter when using packet mode. Instead -of quicly timing out when trying to initialize a -packet mode configuration connection, AltosUI now -waits indefinitely for the remote device to appear, -providing a cancel button should the user get -bored. This is necessary as the TeleMini can only be -placed in "Idle" mode if AltosUI is polling it. -

  • -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. -

2. AltosUI

AltosUI new features:

  • -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. -

AltosUI fixes:

  • -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. -
  • -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. -

Version 1.1 is a minor release. It provides a few new features -in AltosUI and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.

1. AltOS

AltOS Firmware New Features:

  • -Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee -detection logic to prevent incorrect apogee charge -firing. -
  • -Force the radio frequency to 434.550MHz when the -debug clock pin is connected to ground at boot -time. This provides a way to talk to a TeleMini -which is configured to some unknown frequency. -
  • -Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This -makes it easy to check radio range without needing -to go to flight mode. -

AltOS Fixes:

  • -Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry -packets was from 320ms ago. -
  • -Fix a bug which caused the old received telemetry -packets to be retransmitted over the USB link when -the radio was turned off and back on. -

2. AltosUI

AltosUI New Features:

  • -Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from -the available options. -
  • -Add an Age element to mark how long since a -telemetry packet has been received. Useful to -quickly gauge whether communications with the rocket -are still active. -
  • -Add Configure Ground Station dialog to set the -radio frequency used by a particular TeleDongle -without having to go through the flight monitor UI. -
  • -Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout -value. A menu provides a list of reasonable values, -or the value can be set by hand. -
  • -Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet -instead of meters. -

AltosUI Fixes:

  • -Fix a bug that caused GPS ready to happen too -quickly. The software was using every telemetry -packet to signal new GPS data, which caused GPS -ready to be signalled after 10 packets instead of 10 -GPS updates. -
  • -Fix Google Earth data export to work with recent -versions. The google earth file loading code got a -lot pickier, requiring some minor white space -changes in the export code. -
  • -Changed how flight data are downloaded. Now there’s -an initial dialog asking which flights to download, -and after that finishes, a second dialog comes up -asking which flights to delete. -
  • -Re-compute time spent in each state for the flight -graph; this figures out the actual boost and landing -times instead of using the conservative values -provide by the flight electronics. This improves the -accuracy of the boost acceleration and main descent -rate computations. -
  • -Make AltosUI run on Mac OS Lion. The default Java -heap space was dramatically reduced for this release -causing much of the UI to fail randomly. This most -often affected the satellite mapping download and -displays. -
  • -Change how data are displayed in the table tab of -the flight monitoring window. This eliminates -entries duplicated from the header and adds both -current altitude and pad altitude, which are useful -in Monitor Idle mode. -

- This document is released under the terms of the - - Creative Commons ShareAlike 3.0 - - license. -

Version 1.2.1 is a minor release. It adds support for TeleBT and -the AltosDroid application, provides several new features in -AltosUI and fixes some bugs in the AltOS firmware.

1. AltOS

AltOS new features:

  • -Add support for TeleBT -

AltOS fixes:

  • -In TeleMini recovery mode (when booted with the -outer two debug pins connected together), the radio -parameters are also set back to defaults -(434.550MHz, N0CALL, factory radio cal). -
  • -Correct Kalman filter model error covariance -matrix. The values used previously assumed -continuous measurements instead of discrete -measurements. -
  • -Fix some bugs in the USB driver for TeleMetrum and -TeleDongle that affected Windows users. -
  • -Adjusted the automatic gain control parameters that -affect receive performance for TeleDongle. Field -tests indicate that this may improve receive -performance somewhat. -

2. AltosUI Application

AltosUI application new features:

  • -Make the initial position of the AltosUI top level -window configurable. Along with this change, the -other windows will pop up at sensible places now, -instead of on top of one another. -
  • -Add GPS data and a map to the graph window. This -lets you see a complete summary of the flight -without needing to replay the whole thing. -

AltosUI application fixes:

  • -Handle missing GPS lock in Descent -tab. Previously, if the GPS position of the pad was -unknown, an exception would be raised, breaking the -Descent tab contents. -
  • -Improve the graph, adding tool-tips to show values -near the cursor and making the displayed set of -values configurable, adding all of the flight data -as options while leaving the default settings alone -so that the graph starts by showing height, speed -and acceleration. -
  • -Add callsign to Monitor idle window and connecting -dialogs. This makes it clear which callsign is being -used so that the operator will be aware that it must -match the flight computer value or no communication -will work. -
  • -When downloading flight data, display the block -number so that the user has some sense of -progress. Unfortunately, we don’t know how many -blocks will need to be downloaded, but at least it -isn’t just sitting there doing nothing for a long -time. -

3. AltosDroid

  • -First version of this application -

2. AltosUI and MicroPeak Application

New Features:

  • -Added MicroPeak application -

AltosUI and MicroPeak fixes:

  • -Distribute Mac OS X packages in disk image (.dmg) -format to greatly simplify installation. -
  • -Provide version numbers for the shared Java -libraries to ensure that upgrades work properly, and -to allow for multiple Altus Metrum software packages -to be installed in the same directory at the same -time. -

- This document is released under the terms of the - - Creative Commons ShareAlike 3.0 - - license. -

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. -

2. AltosUI Application

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. -

Version 1.3.2 is a minor release. It includes small bug fixes for -the TeleMega flight software and AltosUI ground station

1. AltOS

AltOS fixes:

  • -On TeleMega, limit number of logged GPS status -information to 12 satellites. That’s all there is -room for in the log structure. -
  • -Improve APRS behavior. Remembers last known GPS -position and keeps sending that if we lose GPS -lock. Marks locked/unlocked by sending L/U in the -APRS comment field along with the number of sats in -view and voltages. -

2. AltosUI Application

AltosUI fixes:

  • -If the TeleMega flight firmware reports that it has -logged information about more than 12 satellites, -don’t believe it as the log only holds 12 satellite -records. -
  • -Track the maximum height as computed from GPS -altitude data and report that in the flight summary -data. -
  • -Use letters (A, B, C, D) for alternate pyro channel -names instead of numbers (0, 1, 2, 3) in the Fire -Igniter dialog. -

Version 1.4.1 is a minor release. It fixes install issues on -Windows and provides the missing TeleMetrum V2.0 firmware. There -aren’t any changes to the firmware or host applications at -all. All Windows users will want to upgrade to get the signed -driver, but Mac and Linux users who do not need the TeleMetrum -V2.0 firmware image will not need to upgrade.

1. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications:

Windows Install Fixes

  • -Provide signed Windows driver files. This should avoid any need to -disable driver signature checking on Windows 7 or 8. -
  • -Fix Java version detection and download. Previously, the -installer would only look for Java 6 or 7 and insist on -downloading its own Java bits if there was something else -installed. Furthermore, the 64-bit Java link provided didn’t -work for anyone other than Keith, making it impossible to -install AltOS on any machine with Java SE 8 installed. -

Other Fixes

  • -Include 1.4 firmware for TeleMetrum V2.0. None of the -installers shipped this file. Now it’s included in the AltOS -packages for Linux, Mac and Windows. -
  • -Include Google Application Key for map downloading. The 1.4 -release didn’t have this key in the released version of the -software, making map downloading fail for most people. -

Version 1.4 is a major release. It includes support for our new -TeleGPS product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight -software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station

1. AltOS

AltOS new features:

  • -Add support for TeleGPS boards. -
  • -Make the beeper tone configurable, making it -possible to distinguish between two Altus Metrum -products in the same ebay. -
  • -Make the firing time for extra pyro channels -configurable, allowing longer (or shorter) than the -default 50ms. Only relevant for TeleMega at this -time. -

AltOS fixes:

  • -Replace the dit dit dit tones at startup with the -current battery voltage, measured in tenths of a -volt. This lets you check the battery voltage -without needing telemetry, which is especially -useful on EasyMini. -
  • -Change state beeping to "Farnsworth spacing", which -means they’re quite a bit faster than before, and so -they take less time to send. -
  • -Fix bug preventing the selection of the Flight -State After mode in pyro configuration. -
  • -Fix bug where erasing flights would reset the flight -number to 2 on TeleMega and TeleMetrum v2. -
  • -Fix u-Blox GPS driver to mark course and speed data -as being present. -

2. AltosUI Application

AltosUI new features:

  • -Add zooming and new content types (terrain and road -maps) to map view. Change map storage format from -PNG to Jpeg, which saves a huge amount of disk -space. You will need to re-download all of your -pre-loaded map images. -
  • -Add a distance measuring device to the maps -view. Select this by using any button other than the -left one, or by pressing shift or control on the -keyboard while using the left button. -
  • -Add new Ignitor tab to the flight monitor display -for TeleMega’s extra ignitors. -
  • -Add additional ignitor firing marks and voltages to -the graph so you can see when the ignitors fired, -along with the ignitor voltages. -
  • -Add GPS course, ground speed and climb rate as -optional graph elements. -

AltosUI fixes:

  • -When flashing new firmware, re-try opening the -device as sometimes it takes a while for the -underlying operating system to recognize that the -device has rebooted in preparation for the flashing -operation. -
  • -Hide Tilt Angle in ascent tab for devices that don’t -have a gyro. -
  • -Increase the width of data lines in the graphs to -make them easier to read. -
  • -Filter out speed and acceleration spikes caused by -ejection charge firing when computing the maximum -values. This provides a more accurate reading of -those maximums. -
  • -Fix EasyMini voltage displays. Early EasyMini -prototypes used a 3.0V regulator, and AltosUI still -used that value as the basis of the -computation. Production EasyMini boards have always -shipped with a 3.3V regulator. Also, purple EasyMini -boards sensed the battery voltage past the blocking -diode, resulting in a drop of about 150mV from the -true battery voltage. Compensate for that when -displaying the value. -
  • -Display error message when trying to configure -maximum flight log size while the flight computer -still has flight data stored. -
  • -Handle TeleMetrum and TeleMini eeprom files -generated with pre-1.0 firmware. Those ancient -versions didn’t report the log format, so just use -the product name instead. -

3. TeleGPS Application

  • -New application designed for use with TeleGPS boards. -
  • -Shares code with AltosUI, mostly just trimmed down -to focus on TeleGPS-related functions. -

4. Documentation

Documentation changes:

  • -Re-create the drill template images; they should -print correctly from Firefox at least. Ship these as -individual PDF files so they’re easy to print. -
  • -Add a description of the Apogee Lockout setting, -which prevents the apogee charge from firing for a -configurable amount of time after boost. -

Version 1.5 is a major release. It includes support for our new -EasyMega product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight -software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station

1. AltOS

AltOS New Features

  • -Add support for EasyMega boards. -
  • -Make the APRS SSID be configurable. This lets you track -different rockets on the same receiver without getting -things mixed up. -
  • -Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and -TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight -readiness on these boards after powering up the electronics -on the rail. -
  • -Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to -increase telemetry radio range. This reduces the amount of -data received as well as increasing battery consumption in -the transmitter. -
  • -Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new -data to it rather than using seperate per-flight logs. This -avoids accidentally filling up log storage by turning -TeleGPS on/off several times. -

AltOS Fixes

  • -Increase the maximum range for altitude values from +/-32767m -to +/-2147483647m, allowing the flight computers to function -correctly above the 32km level. -
  • -Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage, -inhibiting the pyro channel if the test fails. This prevents -firing pyro charges where the conditions were good before -the delay, but become bad before the delay expires. -
  • -Allow negative numbers in pyro configuration values. This -lets you specify things like descending speed or -deceleration. -

2. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications

AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features

  • -Support telemetry baud rate selection. Adds menus to -the flight monitoring and configuration for baud rate -selection. -
  • -Support APRS SSID configuration. -
  • -Integrate with file managers. This provides icons for all of -our file types and associates our application with the files -so that using a file manager to open a AltOS data file -results in launching our application. -

AltosUI Fixes

  • -Make the Graph button on the landed tab work again. -
  • -Make tests for Java on Windows a bit smarter, and also -provide the user with the option to skip installing Java for -cases where we just can’t figure out what version is installed. -

Version 1.6.1 includes support for our updated TeleBT v3.0 -product and bug fixes in in the flight software for all our boards -and ground station interfaces.

1. AltOS

AltOS New Features:

  • -Add support for TeleBT v3.0 boards. -
  • -Add support for uncompressed APRS data, providing support -for older APRS receivers. Uncompressed APRS data is less -precise, takes more bandwidth and doesn’t have integrated -altitude data. -

AltOS Fixes:

  • -Make TeleDongle and TeleBT more tolerant of data rate -variations from transmitting devices. -

2. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications

AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features:

  • -Add map to Monitor Idle display. It’s nice to be able to -verify that maps are working, instead of needing to use -Monitor Flight. -

AltosUI and TeleGPS Fixes:

  • -Fix frequency configuration to round values instead of -truncate them, avoiding a common 1kHz error in the setting. -
  • -Turn the Windows stub into a more useful program that can -launch the application with parameters so that file manager -icons work more reliably. -
  • -Force KML export to use a C locale so that numbers are -formatted with . instead of , for a decimal separator in -non-US locales. -
  • -Preload map tiles based on distance rather than number of -tiles; this means you get the same resolution covering the -entire area, rather than having high resolution near the -center and low resolution further away. -
  • -Allow configuration of frequency and callsign in Monitor -Idle mode. -
  • -Fix layout weirdness when resizing windows on -Windows. Windows shouldn’t have giant blank spaces around -the useful content anymore. -
  • -Fix layout weirdness when resizing windows on -Windows. Windows shouldn’t have giant blank spaces around -the useful content anymore. -
  • -Use a longer filter for descent speed values. This should -provide something more useful on the display, although it -will take longer to respond to changes now. -
  • -Make Replay Flight run in realtime again. It had been set to -run at 10x speed by mistake. -

Version 1.6.2 includes support for our updated TeleMega v2.0 -product and bug fixes in in the flight software for all our boards -and ground station interfaces.

1. AltOS

AltOS New Features:

  • -Add support for TeleMega v2.0 boards. -
  • -Add PWM servo driver. There’s no higher level code using -this yet, but the driver allows testing of the TeleMega v2.0 -servo output connector. -

AltOS Fixes:

  • -Slow down telemetry packets to allow receiver to keep -up. -

2. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications

AltosUI and TeleGPS Fixes:

  • -Fix post-flight orientation computation when processing -TeleMega and EasyMega eeprom data files. -
  • -Capture complete eeprom data even when there are invalid -entries in the data. This keeps reading eeprom contents and -writing the associated .eeprom file when an error is detected. -

3. Documentation

We spent a bunch of time trying to improve our documentation

  • -HTML versions now have a table of contents on the left side. -
  • -EasyMini now has its own shorter manual. -
  • -Provide links between sections in each document. -
  • -Lots of minor rewriting and restructuring to avoid -duplication of information -

Version 1.6.3 adds idle mode to AltosDroid and has bug fixes -for our host software on desktops, laptops an android devices -along with BlueTooth support for Windows.

1. AltOS

AltOS fixes:

  • -Fix hardware flow control on TeleBT v3.0. RTS/CTS is -wired backwards on this board, switch from using the -hardware to driving these pins with software. -

2. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications

AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features:

  • -Add BlueTooth support for Windows operating system. This -supports connections to TeleBT over BlueTooth rather than -just USB. -

AltosUI and TeleGPS Fixes:

  • -Change Java detection and install on Windows. Detection is -now done by looking for the javaw.exe program, and -installation by opening a browser on the java.com web site. -
  • -Delay polling while the Fire Igniters is visible to allow -for TeleMega to report back complete status over the radio. -
  • -Disallow changing RF calibration numbers in the -configuration UI. There’s no good reason to change this from -the field, and recovering is really hard if you haven’t -written down the right number. -
  • -Fix USB device discovery on Mac OS X El Capitan. This makes -the connected Altus Metrum USB devices appear again. -
  • -Fix acceleration data presented in MonitorIdle mode for -TeleMetrum v2.0 flight computers. -

3. AltosDroid

AltosDroid new features:

  • -Monitor Idle mode. Check state of flight computer while in -idle mode over the radio link -
  • -Fire Igniters. Remotely fire ignires for recovery system -ground tests. -
  • -Remote reboot. Cause the flight computer to reboot over the -radio link. This provides a method for switching the flight -computer from idle to flight mode without needing to reach -the power switch. -
  • -Configurable frequency menu. Change the set of available -frequencies and provide more descriptive names. -

AltosDroid bug fixes:

  • -Don’t set target location if GPS hasn’t locked yet. -
  • -Fix saving target states so they can be reloaded when the -application restarts. When the application is shut down and -restarted, all previous target state information will be -restored (including GPS position if available). -
  • -Fix crash on some Android devices for offline maps when -changing the map scale or location. -
  • -Don’t require USB OTG support. This kept the latest -AltosDroid from being offered on devices without USB device -support, although it can work without that just fine using -BlueTooth. -
  • -Don’t require bluetooth to be enabled. This allows the -application to operate with USB devices or just show old -data without turning on the bluetooth radio. -
  • -Recover old tracker positions when restarting -application. This finally allows you to safely stop and -restart the application without losing the last known -location of any tracker. -

4. Documentation

  • -Document TeleMega and EasyMega additional pyro channel -continuity audio alert pattern. -

Version 1.6.8 fixes a TeleMega and TeleMetrum v2.0 bug where -the device could stop logging data and transmitting -telemetry in flight. All TeleMega v1.0, v2.0 and TeleMetrum -v2.0 users should update their flight firmware.

1. AltOS

AltOS fixes:

  • -Fix STM32L DMA driver to work around STM32L SoC DMA priority -issue t lock-up in the logging or radio code, either of -which could stop data logging and telemetry. -
  • -Avoid having TeleBT battery status values smash telemetry -packet data by holding a lock during both operations. -
  • -Don’t start reporting flight 0 when the log fills in -flight. -

AltOS changes:

  • -Flash LEDS on all products briefly during power up so that -they can be tested during production. -

2. AltosUI, TeleGPS and AltosDroid Applications

AltosUI fixes:

  • -Re-enable go/no-go entries after they’ve been disabled due -to lack of data. If telemetry information is delayed when -the Ui starts up, sometimes important fields would get -disabled to never re-appear. -
  • -Deal with ground station failure better during Configure -Ground Station operation by cleaning up pending operations. -

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.

1. AltOS

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. -

2. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications

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. -

- This document is released under the terms of the - - Creative Commons ShareAlike 3.0 - - license. -

Version 1.8.1 includes an important bug fix for Apogee Lockout -operation in all flight computers. Anyone using this option -must update firmware.

This release also contains a change in how flight computers -with accelerometers deal with speeds around and above Mach -1. In previous versions, the flight computer would completely -disregard the barometric sensor above 330m/s (around Mach -1). Now, the data from the barometric sensor is reduced in -effect without ever going away entirely. This prevents early -drogue deployment for flights which spend considerable time -above Mach 1.

1.8.1 also contains a couple of minor fixes for AltosUI when -analyzing saved data files.

1. AltOS

AltOS Bug Fixes

  • -Handle time value wrapping in Apogee Lockout -correctly. Without this, apogee lockout would sometimes -prevent any drogue charge from firing. -
  • -Change Kalman filter on flight computers with accelerometer -to continue using the barometric sensor even at high speeds -to avoid unintentional drogue deployment during -deceleration. -

2. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications

AltosUI New Features

  • -Add new Huge font size to make text even bigger on high -resolution monitors. -

AltosUI Bug Fixes

  • -Prevent some crashes when reading older saved flight data -for graphing or KML export. -
  • -Load frequency preference at startup. The loading code was -broken, so you’d see only the default frequencies. -
